    Fireplace Smoke Guards

    Using fireplace smoke guards can help improve your hearth experience tremendously. Wood fireplaces produce smoke as a matter of course; use our wide product selection to ensure this smoke is directed away from your room and, instead, filtered through your chimney, protecting your air quality and your hearth leisure. Easy installation is, similarly, a matter of course with these advanced options. The guards install, quite simply, in the top of the fireplace opening, reducing the hassle involved from the first moments they're in your hands. Diversity is, also, an inherent quality of these products; you'll find a variety of widths available, making locating your ideal match a simple, often, easily satisfied requirement.

    How do I know what size smoke guard to buy? My fireplace is stone & measures 47" wide and 29" tall.



    1 Answer
    To determine the proper size smoke guard, we must first determine the ideal height of the fireplace opening.  The typical formula is to take the width of the fireplace opening and multiply that by 0.75.  The height of the fireplace opening should be no greater than that amount.  So, in your case, the width of 47 inches multiplied by 0.75 gives us an ideal opening height of 35.25 inches.  As such, in ideal conditions no smoke guard should be required.  If you are needing one, the 4" should suffice.

    Do smoke guards work with a gas log fireplace to eliminate the burnt gas smell?
    1 Answer
    No, a smoke guard will not help odors from gas fireplaces. Vent free gas log sets always produce an odor. If you have a vented gas log set with a detectable odor, we would recommend having a local qualified service technician service the unit and check for issues.

    Would an 8-inch guard work better than a six or four?
    1 Answer
    It depends on the size of the fireplace opening in relation to the size of the flue since a smoke guard only resolves issues resulting from an over-sized fireplace opening. Ideally, you should have 1 square inch of flue for every 10 square inches of fireplace opening.

    The SmokeGuard Rollout Eliminators on this page are all suitable for use in fireplaces with opening widths from 28 1/2 to 48 inches wide. You just need to determine the proper height for your application.

    My fireplace measures 25" high and 36" wide at the opening. Will a 6" smoke guard fit?
    1 Answer
    The adjustable version will work, but you will need to determine if the 6" guard is the correct size to order. If you are experiencing smoke rollout due to an over-sized opening, the correct hood to order would be determined by the size of your chimney compared to the size of your fireplace opening. Your fireplace should have a 10 to 1 opening to flue ratio, meaning that you should have 1" of flue for every 10" of opening. For a 25" x 36" opening, your inner flue would ideally measure around 9.5" x 9.5" square or 11" round. If your inner flue were to measure only 8" square, for example, only then would you likely need a 6" smoke guard.

    Are fireplace smoke guards needed if you do not burn wood in a gas fireplace?
    1 Answer
    Smoke guards would only be needed in masonry installations where smoke rollout is experienced due to the fireplace being over-sized for the chimney diameter.

    Do you carry smoke guards for wood stove inserts?
    1 Answer
    Unfortunately, no. Wood stove inserts are typically operated with the doors closed, so smoke guards for them are not very common.

    How do I know what size smoke guard I need?
    1 Answer
    The size of the smokeguard that is needed will depend on the size of your fireplace opening and the size of the chimney flue. The fireplace opening and flue should have a 10 to 1 ratio to one another. Meaning, for every 10 square inches of fireplace opening, there should be 1 square inch of flue size. Based on that math, you should figure exactly how much the opening will be sized down using each guard.

    How do I decide which width of smoke guard I need to purchase?
    1 Answer
    Ideally, your fireplace will have a 10 to 1 opening to flue ratio. That is to say, your fireplace flue will have 1 square inch of area to every 10 square inches of opening size. If you know the size of your flue, you can use that to determine how big your opening would need to be to get to that 10 to 1 ratio. You can then determine which size smoke shelf would size down your opening to get to that correct ratio.

    How do I install a 4" smoke guard with a glass door fireplace?
    1 Answer
    In most cases, there will be enough of a brick ledge behind the doors to allow the guard to be anchored. However, you will likely need to remove the door surround in order to mount the smoke guard. Removing the doors will allow access to either side of the surround and will provide the ability to anchor the shelf into position. You can then re-install the door assembly.
