My wood fire is burning and the fan kicks in accordingly but it is blowing cold air? Fire has been on all day and it's very cold in my home. I'm wondering what is going on and wondering if it could potentially be dangerous? Any help at all would be appreciated, thank you.

We need some details to help out. The make and model of furnace, chimney size and height, house size, insulation, etc. Maybe even pics if you could.
I guess I can't upload pics cause they are too big. I rent so I don't really know. 2 storey house with basement. Newmac furnace. I'm not really sure what else.

There are numerous possibilities. The furnace could be incorrectly tied into the main system, duct heat loss could be more than the gains. Or there could be backflow prevention dampers that need to be set for wood operation.
