They ran it over!!
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.
no. you must have a flue that properly vents to the outside. you will burn your house down if you try to start a wood fire in a vent free fireplace.
There should be a louvered intake outside the fireplace, and a steel door covering the intake tunnel, inside the house located towards the front, and in the floor of the fireplace.
Yes. The wind can suck more heat up the chimney and suck more cold air into the house. I bet you didn't realized that a fireplace in cold weather has to draw cold air from the outside by some means into the house to feed the fireplace updraft. Go figger!
Is It Raining at Your House was created in 1990-12.
Peter wanted to explore the huge old house.
The purpose of the fireplace damper is to keep the outside elements, outside. The damper is opened only when there is a fire in the fireplace.

Well... If coincidence, then maybe yes.
depends on the weather and the owners opinion on if they want the hair all in the house
You sometimes smell smoke from a fireplace inside the house when it is humid and damp outside.
