When we replaced our roof last year we had the chimneys taken down and now even though we have stuffed the remaining fireplaces with insulation there still seems to be drafts coming from them.

    some of the draft may be from the colder bricks.convection is the term used for it. There are chimney balloons that you can install that can cut off the draft from the chimney, air can get thru fiberglass insulation. Seal the opening fire place...plywood with the batt insulation or the pink sheets of foam On the back Use caulking to hold it in place.
