When we bought our house a few years back it had a gas log fireplace. Not long ago I removed the gas log and then had a professional come in and remove the piping so it was no longer in the fireplace. I called a local chimney place and had them inspect the fireplace to make sure it was safe for burning. They said everything was fine, but a common occurrence in newer houses is the opening is too big for the fireplace and you get smoke roll out. He said ours looks like it was too big and if we experienced this problem we would need to buy a "smoke guard".

Sure enough, the first time we burnt real wood we had more smoke in the house than probably up the chimney. You could easily see the smoke rolling out of the fireplace. I picked this unit up, it took about 3 minutes to install, and then built a fire not many days later. Problem completely gone.

The way our fireplace is designed (the fancy doors whatever they are called) did not allow me to use the sealant that came with the device; there was nothing for it to stick to. Regardless, this was enough to fix my problem because it made the overall opening smaller. I sure wish I could have used the sealant, but it worked without it.

This item has so improved the functioning of our fireplace! Our fireplace didn't always smoke, but we had to be very careful about making certain the fire was always pushed way back up against the rear wall, for if it burned towards the front of the grate, we would get some smoke roll out, and then we had to open a window just a crack to increase the draft. Since installing this item (I got the 4 inch) the fireplace has worked so dependably with no smoking whatsoever! Just the other day I commented to my mate how wonderfully this addition to the fireplace works, and how truly satisfied I am with this purchase. A great investment. Although the brass is probably "pretty" by itself, I'm really glad we chose the black version because even though it's mounted right at the front of the opening, it is virtually invisible, whereas the brass would be more on display. Probably that would be nice, but we are very pleased with the black. Also, I had considered getting the widest (highest) piece since I was making the purchase, but I am very glad that I did NOT get that highest one. This 4 inch high one works perfectly, and it is practically invisible, and does not hide the fire at all whereas the tallest one would have. I don't think I would have been happy with that height, but then I'm sure others may have differently shaped fireboxes and that height would be needed. Our firebox was much wider than it was tall so this one worked best.

I recommend this great item to anyone who has a smoking fireplace. It will really help.

It won't hold in an angled Rumford style fireplace. It pops right out of our 1805 fireplace -leaving scratches on the firebrick. For us, it is worthless

Was having trouble with smoke coming back into the house and now I dont. I placed it back an inch or two and you really dont even notice the guard. Might take a lil muscle though to put in
