Bought a home with an Excalibur wood burning fireplace. As the weather is turning colder and getting to freezing, cold air is finding it's way into the house through the fireplace. It is a firm draft from the outer part of the box, not where you actually burn. It has a ventilator fan system and the air blows out of the fan intake/access door. Any experience with this issue, anyone?

Check to see if air is entering via the outside air intake, it will look like a dryer vent on the outside wall, you might need to replace it as the flap get stuck up and allow wind to blow in.
