Summary: Draw without draft


The last house I lived in that had a fireplace had a metal door on
the outside face of the chimney so you could scoop the ashes from
outside (and not get ashes all over the rug). This door was high
enough up so embers wouldn't fall out of it, so we propped it open a
bit so the fire would draw outside air rather than cause drafts in
the house.
