After buying a 100 year old house and peeling layers of wallpaper off the kitchen, I discovered a giant hole in the wall. Turned out, that hole was where an old stove pipe used to be hooked up to the chimney. Since I didn't want to have a giant hole in my wall, I went in search of a cover. Luckily I found this pretty quickly. Since part of my kitchen walls are already black, this goes really well. The product picture doesn't give you a good idea of what it looks like so I will try to upload a picture of my own. It basically looks like a plate type thing hanging on the wall. I don't even notice it anymore. I only gave it 4 stars because I wish it would seal the hole a little better. As it is, the cover won't come off the wall on it's own but it took a few tries to get it to stay, and I feel it's not tight enough to keep anything (spiders) from crawling out of the chimney and into my kitchen. I'm sure there is something I could buy to seal it completely, I'll just have to look into it.

I had to remove the woodstove from my 1980s house before putting it up for sale. Oregon legislators, in their wisdom, made Oregon the only state to require DEQ certified (1988 and later) woodstoves when a house changes ownership. I removed the stove and covered the 8" flue opening with this plate. The friction/spring holder fitting worked fine for the wall opening, I'm not sure how it would work on a ceiling as the plate is a nice heavy weight could drop out. The holding mechanism is a straight strip of metal rivited twice through the middle of the front. You bend those two ends out but just enough to slip them into the flue hole you are covering. Then let go of the ends and push it the rest of the way in. The friction of the metal ends against the sides of the flue hold it in. Like I said, worked find on a wall opening which is what I needed. I imagine it could be better designed and have some type of sealing gasket around the edge so air can't infiltrate, that would make it 5 stars.Best Deals for Imperial Mfg Group BM0026 Adjustable Flue Stop
