sealing up a very leaky access box

nope my plan is/was to use a different flue to intake the air. The woodstove flue and the potential intake flue exit about 3' apart from each other. I may just run the pipe across the basement and put the intake on an outside wall if drawing smoke down is a real concern. The main reason I wanted to use the empty flu is my woodstove is centered in the house so getting outside air over to it is non trivial.

I was reading about a coroplast heatexchanger idea that may work quite well If I decide to run to the outside wall and decided to preheat the incoming air a bit.
