I've noticed that the room where my new insert is located becomes quite a bit cooler than before (when the stove isn't running of course). I am a weekend/evening burner and so the stove has alot of down time and the whole point of the stove was to keep the house warmer not colder.
I have the proper liner and the clay flue is blocked off both at the bottom and the top of the chimney so it must be coming through the stove itself. I keep the air controll closed when not in use but I know there are other air intakes on the stove not to mention the secondary air.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks to prevent cold air coming into the house on an insert? Or is this just a limitation that I'll have to live with?
