A smoking fireplace is definitely a Homeowners Nightmare. There is nothing worse than sitting back to enjoy a warm, cozy fire and having your room fill up with smoke.Thousands of fireplaces throughout the United States go unused for this very reason. The good news is, most of these fireplaces can be fixed to draft properly with some very simple and inexpensive solutions.

The main problem we generally encounter with a smoking fireplace is one of design and construction. The fact is, fireplaces must meet certain structural requirements to work properly. When a fireplace is built it starts with a good foundation, then the firebox and damper, the smoke chamber, and finally the flue. While the firebox can be constructed in any dimension you like, the smoke chamber and flue must be constructed to meet the the dimensions of the firebox opening. In most instances, a smoking fireplace is the result of the flue not meeting the minimum dimensions required to make the fireplace draft properly.

We have the solution to the problem. The Hy-C Smoke Guard.

This ingenious device will cure most smoking problems resulting from a flue sized too small for the fireplace opening. The Smoke Guard can be used to reduce the height or width of the fireplace, making the ratio of the fireplace opening to flue size more compatible. It’s spring loaded, adjusts from 28 ½” to 48”, and installs easily without tools.
