I have a very small brick fireplace and I was able to manage to use this plug, which appears to be sized for a much larger chimney, without any problems. It was easy to set up and I no longer have any draft coming down the fireplace. After a day I can already tell that the furnace is turning on less often. I ended up buying this through ace hardware's website since there i have the option to have it delivered to my nearest ace hardware for free delivery. Also, I ordered it online Thursday night and i got a call from ace hardware the following Saturday that it was there ready for pickup. One more thing, It is really easy to take down and put back in when you want to use your fireplace.

Anyhew this is a great product and if you have a drafty fireplace I would really recommend it.

This plug seemed like such a great idea, but the product's poor design makes it only marginally useful. The poles supporting the plug do not fit together well and do a poor job of positioning and stabilizing the balloon in the firebox. And the end caps that are supposed to cap the poles do not remotely fit. Even when you can get it positioned in the right spot after a long period of adjusting it, the balloon's design tends to make it twist in upon itself, creating gaps along the sides. So, it does block some airflow, but sticking anything up the chimney would stop some airflow too. This design needs another generation or two to work the bugs out.

I like this unit, but make sure you check it periodically because it will deflate a bit. Not sure it has helped to reduced my utility cost because it's been so hot in the southeastern part of the country where I am located.

Honest reviews on Enviro Energy Square Fire Place Plug For Brick Fire Boxes

Our fireplace is in our family room. Winters you can feel the cool air coming in, and it is not pleasant. We checked out different "pillows" for the fireplace and thought this was our best bet. It does not seal up the chimney. It is better, but still a disappointment.

I'm giving this fireplace plug one star for two reasons:

1. I am not able to use this plug on my Heatilator masonry fireplace because there are two metal flanges that hang down on either side of the flu that would prevent a good seal (and would probably puncture the balloon over time.)

2. Ace Hardware Outlet assesses a 10-25% restocking fee on returns.

Take a flashlight and check your fireplace before ordering this product to make sure that there aren't any sharp or obtrusive objects that would get in the way of installation.

For Heatilator owners: Our unit has a draft coming from the grate below the fireplace doors which would not be stopped by this plug. If you have a heatilator and don't use it often, consider taping plastic over the entire opening when the fireplace is not in use.
