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.
The damper may be accessible only by reaching up into the fireplace by hand or with a woodpoker, or sometimes by a lever or knob that sticks down or out. On a wood-burning stove or similar device, it is usually a handle on the vent duct as in an air conditioning system.
