Modern gas stoves and fireplace inserts are sealed (airtight) with respect to the living space (room) and vent their combustion air from outside - typically a separate pipe through the side of the building or a centre pipe within the exhaust flue (either through the side of the building or as a sleeve in an existing chimney.The cheapest way to stop air and heat from being drawn up your chimney is to decommission your fireplace; stuff insulation in the top of the firebox against the closed damper; then tape a sheet of 6mil poly (vapour barrier) under the insulation being certain to create a seal with the sides of the firebox all the way around the perimeter of the barrier.Since you still want to use your fireplace periodically, but do not wish to incur the expense of installing an airtight insert, you could still attempt to plug the top of the firebox when you are not using the fireplace.  

I can repost and leave that space blank so you can insert a different term but it is what it is.

Just use your state's standard purchase agreement, and in the financing area, insert the terms you have agreed to.

If I didn't want to leave a wood-burning fireplace there (and I probably would leave it) then I would have a gas insert put in.

Hi, I'm looking for standard language to insert into my purchase contract for contingencies.

While I have tons of reno tools, what I recommend as the "must have" for the hands on landlord is a Leatherman Wave Multitool with the insert bit kit with philips, straight, Allen, Torx & Robertson heads.

Me: (Insert dollar amount here)PL: What's it worth?
