Fireplaces are energy losers! Researchers have determined that an open damper on an unused fireplace in a well-insulated house can raise overall heating energy consumption by 30%! The Fireplace Draftstopper is an energy-saving device for the fireplace. Why Does a Home With a Fireplace Have Higher Heating Bills? Hot air rises! The fireplace is like a giant straw - sucking your heated air from your house. This is like leaving a large window open all winter long! The Solution - Install a Fireplace Draftstopper! Most fireplaces have dampers designed to prevent both cold downdrafts and space heating losses. These damper plates however provide little help after the fireplace has had a few roaring hot fires which cause the metal plates to warp and become misaligned. Many gas fireplaces are not even provided with a damper! The solution is to install a fireplace plug. The Fireplace Draftstopper a unique product that has been designed to be a removable plug for the fireplace. The Fireplace Draftstopper is an inflatable urethane pillow measuring 16" diameter. It is quickly and easily installed in the fireplace just below the damper. The Draftstopper seals the fireplace to an effective 95-98% seal. It can be adapted to work in almost all fireplaces. It is the easiest and most inexpensive way to stop valuable warm air from leaving your home and minimizing drafts from your fireplace. It can pay for itself in just 1 heating bill!

 Great product |

my fireplace damper got jammed open, and replacement parts were not available.
This makes for a good seal, and is easy to install/remove for using the fireplace. One thing to note is to make VERY sure that the fireplace is cooled sufficiently. I didn't wait long enough one night, and the stick melted down a bit (it still is long enough for my application, luckily)
The seller shipped it VERY fast and was very easy to deal with! |
Trust me... it works!

I was skeptical when I ordered this item but I'm glad I did. The room use to get cooler the closer you got to the fireplace; the temperature was 5 - 8 degrees cooler than any other room in the house. Now, the room temperature is consistent and barely 2 - 3 degrees cooler than any other room (vaulted ceiling, 15 ft on the high end & 8 ft on the low end, with 2 vents on the lower end near the fireplace).
I thought I chose the wrong item because my fireplace is shallow and the dampener is recessed. It took a couple of days to figure out how to make it work in my fireplace. The balloon cannot be position properly when fully inflated. So I positioned it so one of the bulges inflates up into the recessed dampener. Since then, it's worked like a charm! The glass doors are no longer ice cold and I don't feel a draft (even when it's really windy outside) blowing out of the fireplace.
I've recommended this product to friends who have draft problems with their fireplace. |
Didn't work for me

| This didn't really work for me. I couldn't completely seal off the flue pipe. A towel worked better for me. |
Did not fit my fireplace

Before I bought this plug I thought it was kind of strange that other people either loved it or said it didn't work. I see now why that is. If you have a fireplace that has a damper handle sticking down into the fireplace below the damper (like mine) you do not want this plug because it wont work. The handle will get in the way. Fortunately, i bought it from Home depot so i was able to return it.
The package says "can be used in any fireplace" but it is not possible for it to seal if you have a damper handle in the way. I am going to try the different type of chimney balloon that goes in above the damper, or I might just stuff the damper with fiberglass. |
