The message from "Mark D." contains these words:

Perhaps less appropriate for many UK fireplaces which don't have any damper like American ones to -- I can see it simply going up into the smokeshelf area and doing nothing useful there.

And if you do have a damper and a handle sticking down in the way how are you suppose to get that trick to work? I don't get it.

[Appin]

The message

from 69tbird contains these words:

They're designed for an American-style damper which closes off the flue and is operated by a chain which comes through a tube in the front of hte fireplace above the fire opening.

I've found an alternative which is much simpler to use than the chimney balloon and you can take it in and out as often as you want so you get the best of all worlds.

The chimney sheep is a felt disk that blocks the flue just above the throat - simple and clever.

If you want to advertise your product why not just do it openly? Do you really think we were all born yesterday?

Now reduced to sleazy spamming. I wonder if [e-mail] knows that her web monkey is offending her potential customers? Perhaps someone will mention it on their facebook page.

I wonder how much better they are than the old practice of rolling up some mineral wool and stuffing that up the chimney? At least mineral wool doesn't rot like felt.

[Bob Eager]

Done.

So - never posted here before and you suddenly come up with a solution to a question that nobody asked out of the blue ...

Yeah, right

do we look that stupid?

[darrenward]

The internet is strange place indeed!

Well done for lowering the tone of a valuable debate about heat loss throug= h chimney stacks. As someone that works primarily in the building industry = (not a web monkey!)finding simple solutions to old problems such as heat lo= ss up flues is useful to everyone. A forum is about sharing information - t= hats all I did.

Again sorry to be helpful!

[Bob Eager]

Can you confirm that Chimney Balloons is not one of your customers?

[Bob Eager]

I meant Chimney Sheep, of the same town as Red Raven, of course.

Did you notice the date on that discussion? November 13, 2009. So you didn't just stumble upon a 'debate about heat loss through chimney stacks', you actively searched for it so that you could add your spam. Keep digging, we've seen it all before, hundreds of times.

Chimney Sheep are maintaining that Darren is nothing but a satisfied customer who happens to be in the same area and uses the same ISP.

Fuck off, you spamming wanker.
