Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fireplace Chimney Draftstopper Plug Balloon (Large Pillow - Fits Any Masonry Fireplace with dampers up to 38x16")
Customer Review: Stop The Cold Air --- NOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
This does work very well, perhaps only in the right chimneys, perhaps only when installed correctly. I have had this for four months and will adjust my review, later, if a problem develops (such as a puncture).
It stops so much cold air that I need to put my hand directly under it just to feel a difference in ambient temperature. This also means that it stops the fireplace odors that were entering the room. I've even tried it with the flue open and it still keeps the cold out.
It does not self-install: you have to take the time and be careful. I can now do it in about three minutes. Some words on installation:
- After you THINK you have installed it correctly, feel around all of the edges for leaks. When you feel a leak, simply push - or pull - that section of the balloon into the right spot to fully stop the leak.
- The balloon does give the impression of deflating, but this is a misnomer. In cold temperatures a balloon will shrink, not deflate, due to the air cooling in the balloon. This happened once, so far, to the point where cold air began infiltrating. All you need do is to inflate it a little, while the balloon is still in place (the long inflation tube makes it easy) and then check around the edges again as above.
Our room has been truly comfortable for the first winter in 15 years due to this. My only concern is it's ruggedness. If it does not puncture, it will pay for itself in about 2 years. I have been somewhat intentionally rough with it to test this and, so far, am impressed that it hasn't punctured.
UPDATE January 2010:
Have now been putting this in and out weekly for the second winter. Performs as well as new. Seems to be quite resistant to puncturing (and it's been pushed to the limit). If it were to puncture at this point, I would buy another one.

Description of Fireplace Chimney Draftstopper Plug Balloon (Large Pillow - Fits Any Masonry Fireplace with dampers up to 38x16")
Most fireplaces have metal damper plates 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. This problem causes energy waste and subsequent higher heating bills. The solution to this problem of higher heating bills is to install a fireplace plug to eliminate air leakage. The Fireplace Draftstopper is a unique product that is a removable plug for the fireplace. The Fireplace Draftstopper is a durable inflatable plug, made of a specially formulated nylon-urethane material. Research testing and studies have verified that the Draftstopper seals the fireplace site to an effective 95-98% seal. The Draftstopper is an inflatable nylon-urethane pillow measuring 16" x 38". It is quickly and easily installed in the fireplace just below the damper level. It can be adapted to work in almost all fireplaces. Even if you have an unusual construction, the Draftstopper can be successfully installed in less than 2 minutes. The Draftstopper is provided with 5 "slittable" areas that can be cut to provide an opening for a damper handle. As the Draftstopper is inflated it seals around the damper handle sealing the opening! The Draftstopper is one of the best investments you can make. It is the easiest and most inexpensive way to stop valuable warm air from leaving your home and minimizing drafts and odors from your fireplace. When using the fireplace, the Draftstopper is quickly and easily removed and placed in a storage bag that comes with the package. The Fireplace Draftstopper saves up to 30% on heat and air conditioning costs!; Stops uncomfortable chimney downdrafts!; Reduces entry of odors and harmful toxins!; and Seals the fireplace so that rodents, insects, etc. can't enter! Designed for quick, easy, CLEAN, installation and removal. Featured on Good Morning America and HGTV! Order for your fireplace today!Tools and Hardware
