Adding 2nd hand doors to a fireplace

8 years ago

I recently moved into a place with a wood fireplace, but no doors or screen. I have used the fireplace once and there was a lot of smoke coming in to the house (but I also observed smoke venting properly up the chimney). I was thinking that adding doors would help, and I have found some used doors for sale that are larger than the opening I have. The landlord won't let me drill any holes into the fireplace stones, so the question is, will adding a set of doors in front of the opening, that are not airtight, help the smoke situation?
