Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fireplace Chimney Draftstopper Plug Balloon (Large Pillow - Fits Any Masonry Fireplace with dampers up to 38x16")
Customer Review: Cut the drafts!
Summary: 4 Stars
We have a wood-burning fireplace that was converted to gas-burning about 20 years ago and when we moved in I never trusted the thing. So we have the gas line turned off and just use the fireplace as "decoration" and a room focal point. But the draft coming in was substantial (damper cannot fully close for codes), even with glass fireplace doors and a draft snake, etc. Once our winter temps plummeted this season, my husband searched and found this product online...ordered it ASAP. Installation was pretty easy, but he did add some rags to the corners to make it a tighter plug. Our downstairs is much warmer now. And I have a theory that we'll have less of a humidity problem too, once summer comes, by keeping the outside air out. Finally a smart solution to this problem.Customer Review: Good but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently got and installed this in our chimney. It worked pretty well, but didn't perfectly seal around the flu handle and the edges. I ended up stuffing grocery bags in any spot that wasn't perfectly sealed and that seemed to do the trick.
Also note that in my case I thought the main culprit for heat loss was air escaping up through my chimney, but it turned out that it was a poorly sealed fresh air intake in the floor of my fireplace that was pouring the cold air into my basement. So stuffing that with some insulation and using aluminum duct tape made a bigger difference then this did. And that cost me a total of <$1.
Customer Review: Stopped the draft
Summary: 4 Stars
This product solved the cold air down draft caused by a faulty damper. It was easy to install and took only about 10 minutes.
The support arm was not long enough for my fireplace and it by itself would not hold the plug in place while I finished inflating it.

I wish the list of applications would have been more specific on the order form. If it had been, I would have ordered the smaller of the two. As it turned out alright, there is no real complaint. The product is hight quality and it was delivered on time.Customer Review: Worth Money Spent
Summary: 4 Stars
The plug has been installed, a tad bit cumbersome, and seems to be helping. I'm glad I made the purchase. FYI - the company I ordered from sent out my order the same day.....incredible service!
