About this deal

This rectangular grate supplies air from the outdoors to the fire, balancing indoor-outdoor air pressure and encouraging fire by-products to escape the flue.

When it’s about as warm outside as it is indoors, hot air and fire by-products will float in the firebox or enter the room rather than rise up and out of the chimney. The main causes are explored below, along with tips for spotting and solving each one so you can breathe easier and enjoy your fireplace. An undersized chimney liner simply can’t handle the volume of fireplace smoke produced, and some of it will spill back into the room.Contact our team of experts in Detroit, MI, and let us help you find the perfect Smoke Guard solution for your home. So we took a trip to Woodland Stove and Fireplace to see if they had a Smoke Guard we could install. Examples include a flue that’s too small, a chimney that’s too short, or a lintel (horizontal support above the firebox opening) that’s too high—any of these could result in a weak draft and a smoky fireplace. Measure the length and height of the fireplace opening to determine the size of the sheet metal needed.

For example, if your chimney was not properly constructed or reconstructed, it may not have the necessary dimensions to effectively handle the smoke produced by your fireplace. And that’s good, because the bigger the difference between the outside temperature and the temperature in your home, the less likely you are to have a backdraft problem.Notify your credit card company immediately should you ever suspect a fraudulent charge on your credit card as you would for any other unauthorized charge. Our Smoke Guard is used to reduce the size of your fireplace opening, which helps contain backdrafts and better control the flow of heat. Although this problem sometimes only shows up when the fire is burning low, for some super-tight houses it is a constant problem. A strong chimney draft requires neutral air pressure—that is, outside air enters the home at the same rate that inside air exits it, so that indoor and outdoor air pressure is the same. That difference in the size of that space allows more room and more time for excess smoke to collect before it is drawn up the chimney, keeping the smoke in the fireplace and not allowing it to escape into the room.

A flue can become blocked by leaf debris, animal nests, or the buildup of creosote, a dark brown to a black coating that forms in the chimney when fire by-products harden.The smoke guard’s design effectively controls the size of the fireplace opening, minimizing back drafts and heat flow.

The guards install, quite simply, in the top of the fireplace opening, reducing the hassle involved from the first moments they're in your hands. Smoke buildup in the home can have ill health effects, leading to coughing, stinging eyes, or even the buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Now, I realize that the fireplace opening is pretty tall - 44" to the top of the arch (see picture below).To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Regular chimney maintenance, including the removal of creosote buildup, is essential to prevent smoky fireplaces and ensure the safe operation of your fireplace.
