A Lock-Top damper or energy-saving damper is a damper that is connected to the chimney system at the top of the flue. Like a throat damper, it has an easy-to-use cable for opening and closing the flue (donât worry â you wonât have to go up on the roof!), but unlike a throat damper, a Lock-Top damper provides an airtight seal.
Occasional puffs of smoke that enter the room from beneath the chimney breast are usually caused by downdrafts, or air rushing down the chimney in spite of the upward air flow caused by fireplace heat. Downdrafts often occur in windy weather. If the problem is infrequent, it is usually not worth taking the time to fix.he damper is a hinged metal plate that is usually inside the fireplace where it joins the chimney. Many people close the damper in summer when the fireplace is not being used, and also in winter to prevent cold air from entering the room via the chimney.
