When should my damper be fully closed?
When should my damper be fully closed?
Fireplaces are designed to be operated with the throat damper wide open. It should only be tapered to a closed position as the fire dies down to coals.

While it is not impossible for a DIY replacement, it is best to have a mason do this style of repair to support any masonry material that the damper frame is supporting.

Donna L. from 27403 asked:
I am looking to replace my fireplace damper. My current damper measures 5 inches wide and most of the ones I have found online are 7 inches.  Any suggestions? Can I use a 7 inch one or do I need to keep looking for 5-inch?

A 7" damper plate likely wouldn't work because it wouldn't have the properly sized hinges to hang onto your space.

No, a damper on a woodburning fireplace should always be fully open to prevent smoke and carbon monoxide intrusion.

A fireplace damper opens and closes inside your fireplace's flue, letting smoke without letting out all the heat. Different types can help your fireplace produce less smoke in your home.
