(Yes, I know I could fit a wood burner but it's a large fire in a
formal room and it just wouldn't look right - according to SWMBO)


If it's only used rarely, a chimney balloon is the thing, looks like an
inflatable pillow.


Possible downside.

If Santa gets stuck, there will be no presents this year.
