our existing fireplace has a plenum through the back wall for outside air intake. It's a wood burner (we have gas logs) and the existing stainless exhaust flue is in good condition. The problem is that this sucker leaks cold air into the house; you can actually feel the draft across the floor.
I'm looking for a sealed direct vent fireplace, but I want to use the existing outside air source for intake, and use the existing chimney for exhaust. Not coaxial, and not requiring to run new ducts up the existing flue.
But all of the models I find are either coaxial or colinear, and I can't find one with separate intake and exhaust openings.
Any suggestions?
