Pros & Cons
Pros
For some insulation on a stick is a tough pill to *. I like that it has a dangle that warns someone to not light a fire.
Mine fits snugly without bending above where the damper was originally. You want it to be a little big, so it'll squish into the flue and stay there from friction. Comes with two handles one short and one longer so you can still use your candles witho... Read More
Opens the damper and stuffs this nice insulated wool to stop the cold winter drafts. It actually seals the opening better than the original damper. They say this device will pay for itself in heating/cooling costs in just one year.
Took a few minutes but did seal out draft completely. Not only did all chimney drafts immediately cease, but the family noted a great improvement in allergies! Not the flueblockers fault. Amazon to the rescue.
Highlights
Quality
Easy install stops drafts and smokey smells on humidwet days
Material is soft and forgiving so it conforms to the size of the opening well and can be trimmed down if needed
We’ve had an infestation for three years and no pest control could help… until someone suggested plugging the fireplace
I used to push an offcut of wall insulation up the flue and it was dirty and inconvenient

In case you were curious this is the same product as the ‘chimney sheep’ sold in the uk this is their american branding that’s important because they’ve dumbed down the sizing… i bought the ‘for 10 inch flue’ which means that the actual product is 12 in diameter they mention this is the description too and they mean it however on the uk site they explain that the chimney sheep is supposed to be about 1 inch larger than your flue for us here in the states we aren’t trusted with actual measurements

At first it was not easy to install puckering in the middle and thereby not sealing snug so i decided to trim it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Being the perfectionist that i am i trimmed it to exactly 8 inches and now it fits but a little bit too loosely

Lesson learned if you have to trim it
