Chimney Sheep 6 x 16 Inch Oblong Chimney Draught Excluder

Good product, does the job of keeping away the draught. Easy to use and product seems durable. Would buy again!

It’s doing a great job as we used to get a brought down the chimney but not any more.

Why do you need a chimney sheep? Anyone who's chimney isn't sealed is who! We have a open chimney with a 'faux fire' at the bottom. It's not sealed in and the chimney isn't capped. We moved in 2 years ago and haven't investigated it much until a little while ago. The previous residents had shoved newspaper up there and when we looked to clear it as I'd got loads of dust on the Garth, we found about 6 dead skeletons of birds. All cleaned we thought all done and pushed newspaper back...until about 3 weeks ago I heard a fluttering. Bird in the chimney. The bird died and rotted...and then we had flies...massive flies!! So this brings me to the chimney sheep. My friend has these in her home and I was looking for something to help with my bird issue when I came across these. I measured up the hole my chimney has and purchased it. The sheep is a tiny bit small as our original fireplace is gone so it's a bit rugged. Saying that it has stopped all the dust from coming down and seems to keep in the heat (won't know 100% until winter). It is expensive for what is a blob of wool on the stick but I would recommend it!!

I'm very pleased with my chimney sheep! I was worried because it's larger than the hole but it fits in beautifully. It comes with a nice tag to attach to the bottom so that it dangles down visibly....... Ensures that you don't accidentally start a fire when your sheep is in place. Also a nice card which I set on the grate for an extra reminder. I've lived in my house for 17 years. I had no idea chimney sheep existed. It definitely makes a difference! It keeps the heat in and also it feels quieter in my lounge. Definitely worth the money!!! Love the name too.

We recently moved to a house with a victorian style open grate, and the previous owners had blocked the chimney with a bin liner stuffed with paper. It worked well enough as far as stopping drafts goes, but did not allow the chimney to breath or dry out, and was not easy to keep pulling out and replacing. This may seem expensive, but it is very easy to use, especially if you want to make occasional use of the fireplace and block it up in between, gives a very good seal, and if it gets damp from rain etc., it will breathe and dry out.

Flexible enough to fit in our odd shaped chimney. Cuts out draught and also noise much better than the bit of laminate floor underlay that I was using. I like the dangly label that warns you that it is there as my wife has recently lit the fire with the chimney blocked and filled the room with smoke. Product arrived a day before expected.

I liked the concept but it was not a very good fit in a chimney that had an imitation gas fire fitted

Fantastic!! I had a plastic balloon type chimney blocker that just failed over time. The draught coming down the unused chimney made the room cold especially on the floor. My chimney opening I think is not a standard size. 12”x2” the website said this wouldn’t fit but I took a punt on it anyway and managed to push it through the opening then pull it back to ‘seal’. Worked great. Absolutely no draught but still breathable. Would give six stars if I could. A bit pricey but worth it.

I had bought a Chimney Sheep before for use in a circular flue and it worked perfectly. Therefore when I found one to fit my open chimney which constantly drips with rain and debris during storms I was very pleased. I waited until it had been tested by recent rain before submitting this review and sure enough it worked brilliantly - no wet or mess in the fireplace. I’m particularly happy that this is such an environmentally friendly product and an excellent use of the beautiful coarse herdwick wool and highly recommend it.

Wow! We noticed right away that the living room was more comfortable and the furnace runs much less frequently. I'm glad I bought 2; our flue is wide and narrow with the flue handle in the middle. I just placed one on each side and they overlap a few inches in the middle. Where has this product been all my life!

This works great!! No more smoky campfire smell!!! Keeps the area cooler! Wish I had known about this years ago!!

works perfect for my chimney and has a little no fire sign that dangles at the end of the handle so you don't accidentally light up without removing the blockers. Perfect for chimneys that are missing a flue.

Totally useless for what I needed
