Enviro Energy Square Fire Place Plug For Brick Fire Boxes
I would recommend this product for its energy saving properties. The directions are simple enough and it’s fairly easy to inflate. Essentially, it’s a balloon. Positioning the product in the chimney is the only part of the process I found mildly difficult as it tends to be a bit cumbersome and hard to properly position.

I’m giving this fireplace plug one star for two reasons:
1. I am not able to use this plug on my Heatilator masonry fireplace because there are two metal flanges that hang down on either side of the flu that would prevent a good seal (and would probably puncture the balloon over time.)
2. Ace Hardware Outlet assesses a 10-25% restocking fee on returns.
Take a flashlight and check your fireplace before ordering this product to make sure that there aren’t any sharp or obtrusive objects that would get in the way of installation.
For Heatilator owners: Our unit has a draft coming from the grate below the fireplace doors which would not be stopped by this plug. If you have a heatilator and don’t use it often, consider taping plastic over the entire opening when the fireplace is not in use.

I have a very small brick fireplace and I was able to manage to use this plug, which appears to be sized for a much larger chimney, without any problems. It was easy to set up and I no longer have any draft coming down the fireplace. After a day I can already tell that the furnace is turning on less often. I ended up buying this through ace hardware’s website since there i have the option to have it delivered to my nearest ace hardware for free delivery. Also, I ordered it online Thursday night and i got a call from ace hardware the following Saturday that it was there ready for pickup. One more thing, It is really easy to take down and put back in when you want to use your fireplace.
Anyhew this is a great product and if you have a drafty fireplace I would really recommend it.
