Default Any experience of fireplace or chimney dampers?

Discounted because of storage, crud and size


Storage - a ballon deflates, deflate, shove it in a bag.

Crud - Is going to fall down anyway. At least with a balloon you
know when it's going to.

Size - See storage and surely with a little used fire place "storage"
is up the chimney. B-)


+1

and at £15 or so you don't have to use it for long to cover the cost
(assuming the fire doesn't rely on air from vents you close when not
using it).
