Temporarily blocking up chimneys

[luckystrike]

Is there a device on the market which can be used to temporarily block up chimneys on windy days?

Thanks.

We have two open fireplaces lucky, so know what you mean about draughts! At the moment, we are currently using the living room fireplace, but the one in our dining could p'raps do with one of these:

Hope that helps!

P.S. But must remember to remove it when stoking up! ;o}

Hehe! Thanks smudge!

You're welcome lucky!

Thinking about it - it might be cheaper to blow up an ordinary big plastic bag & stuff it up the chimney!

I might even try that when I get back from the shops - but must remember to remove it before Father Christmas visits! Ha, ha! ;o}

i put an old cushion in a carrier bag and stuff it up the chimney it works really well
