Great idea...not new...but the first to pantent the design.
The price is too expensive for what it is though.
And I can do just as well with a heavy duty plastic bag filled with fiberglass insulation.

I have a prefabricated fireplace with a 6 inch flue of metal pipe. Not only do I need to control HVAC efficiency in my home, I need to stop the wasps and yellow jackets from getting in my house. The fireplace has a flue damper but it has a tiny opening near the pivot and it lets them in. One option is to get a closing chimney cap but they are $200+, $700-800 if you have it installed. The Chimney Baloon does work as advertised but it is a pain to install in my type of unit. You need one hand on the extender (yes you need the extender) one holding a flashlight and the tube in your mouth all while positioning your body so you are watching what you are doing and making sure the ballon is positioned corectly. Be careful inserting it into your flue beyond the damper and watch out for sharp sheet metal screws. You inflate it to the point of beginning to seal then pull it down in order for it to seal properly. Otherwise if you dont watch it while inflating, it will inflate lop sided and leave a gap. If you pull it down gently it will seal but you have to have the right amount of pressure here. If the balloon was more rounded this would be less of a hassle. (hint hint to the manufacturer) It does work as advertised so I give it 4 stars. Wheather or not the unit leaks air over time and deflates remains to be seen but it appears to be of respectible quality.Best Deals for Chimney Balloon Fireplace Damper 9"X9" Draft Stopper Pillow Plug
This worked very well, exactly as described. It stopped the draft immediately and the room is much more comfortable to be in now. It did take a couple tries to seat it correctly. Also, I recommend wearing disposable gloves, your hands will get messy.Honest reviews on Chimney Balloon Fireplace Damper 9"X9" Draft Stopper Pillow Plug
