Air will take the path of least resistance so if your damper contraption is even slightly weighted closed then that wide open flue works fine as a leak.
I've had to shut off the range hood to start a fire in my BK several times or else the smoke dumped into the room through the open door!

Ok. I went up to the roof and sealed the chimney with a thick plastic garbage bag and duct tape.
Closed all the windows, turned on all fans and dryer.
Vent did not open. I am confident in how tight the house is. It was a complete gut over the last couple years and I sealed every penetration including where drywall meets subfloor.
I flipped the vent to test it to see if it would work blowing out and it did????
Why is my house pressure reversed?
