What is the vent to outside near your fireplace and how does it work?

IF you have a woodburning fireplace, and there is a small door- about 6 inches square on the outside of the house, check for a flip open door on the floor of your fireplace. If that is what you have, this is not a vent, but an ash clean-out. Shovel ashes thru the door on the floor of the fireplace, and you can remove them from the outside door without making a mess in the house. But not a vent. If that is not what you have, please post gain with a more detailed description.
