Do you have a flue damper??  If so, is it open when not in use?
With a chimney that tall you are going to get a lot of draft.

Mine used to do that, I found a 5" thick piece of foam and stuck it in the flue right above the damper and it solved the issue. Also put a note on the damper that it was up there; we don't use the fireplace much......

That is a long chimney with a lot of draft. Do you have a flue damper this is open?

It's a natural gas fireplace with a concentric vent. There is no damper.
