I bought this to put in front of my fireplace to keep the heat of the house from going up the chimney all night. I thought that if I covered the front of the fireplace, the fire would go out from lack of air supply. That doesn't happen. I suppose you could put insulation around the outside of the fireplace, but that's certainly not worth the trouble. It's very difficult to handle also. There are no handles or grips of any kind, and the metal is very slick.

It looked promising, all steel and rugged, but it's big flaw is that it's hinged for maneuverability, so it has slits that are about 1/16 or 1/8 inch wide where the cold air unfortunately freely flows. It's better as an item to put in place if you want to keep the flue open as your fire is still going out and you want to go to bed. It certainly does NOT block airflow.

Bought this to use in a bedroom fireplace. Seems to have helped stop the draft. Magnets are included for a tighter fit but the fireplace is slate and the magnets do not work.
