You need to close the damper. look inside the flute 4 handle,and push or pull.
Answer
It could either be your Flue is stuck open slightly or you have a crack in the chimney...either way, If it were me, I would have someone come out and check it out after trying the Flue first. Good Luck!
Answer
make sure the chimney a least 2 foot over the peak of the roof.If not you'll have to have a bricklayer raise it up.
Answer
I had a metal damper in my fireplace that bent and warped after being heated-cooled-and reheated time and again. My sweep suggested a new firebox and new damper (cost $600 installed). I didnt want to spend that much on a fireplace i use occasionally.
I bought a Chimney Balloon, from a website out of Wisconsin, and put it in my fireplace just above the damper and it worked to stop that draft that was seeping in.
