That has been common knowledge for years.. Google is your friend.... An open wood burning fireplace consumes a lot of excess air which is air that is in the house and has been heated to the present room temperature. This air must be replaced by cold, outside air. The net effect on the temperature of the house is that it gets colder by using an open wood-burning fireplace. You may be nice and warm next to the fire, but rooms away from the fireplace are getting colder as the outside air is drawn in to make-up for the excess combustion air that the open fireplace is using.</blockquote>
