Pauline w.: Looks like a quality product but instruction leaflet states not advisable to use in a gas fire flue ( which we have) so it’s been returned.

T. Smith: Works as intended, super easy to install and remove. Material is soft and forgiving, so it conforms to the size of the opening well and can be trimmed down if needed.

Mr. Ben: I had to cut this down to size but it was easy to do with a good pair of scissors. It's extremely effective at blocking not only drafts but cuts down on sound transmission from outside substantially as well. It's made a big difference in both summer and winter months, I wish I'd bought one of these much sooner.

Kindle Customer: While this works and does what it says, can't help but feel it's overpriced. But if you want your flue blocked n8ce and snug, it works and easy to place/remove.

Paul: purchased the 10" for an 8" flue and the sheep DOES fit. it feels loose to me some have been wondering if I should have gone for the 12" instead. That said - it is working. I added extensions to the handle so i could really get the sheep up the flue and voila! No more soot, and a noticable reduction in wind noise and drafts. It's relatively expensive for what it is but it does work. The offset in heating costs savings will pay for it soon enough I reckon. Too early to tell if Its going to last a long time - or if it'll really do the job during a harsh winter but so far so good.

krtaylor: Let's just deal with the elephant in the room first - this thing seems stupid expensive for what it is. I mean, 50 bucks for a circle of fabric with a cheap plastic handle, wth?
But I will say this: it works, bigtime, and for a tiny fraction of the cost of getting a chimney repairman to try to replace a leaky damper.
The fabric circle is really a super-heavy-duty, all natural, woven sort of felt from, they claim, special sheep with really dense wool. I can't speak to that but I'll admit that I've never seen anything quite like it.
Despite its thickness and solidity, though, it was not terribly difficult to trim up with heavy shears. Note: DO NOT attempt to make an exact fit! You want it to be a little big, so it'll squish into the flue and stay there from friction.
I also had to cut a perpendicular slit to allow the damper control rod to pass through. This, too, was no big deal.
And the result? Not only did all chimney drafts immediately cease, but the family noted a great improvement in allergies! Maybe pollen was blowing down the chimney along with the cold air? Or maybe they're allergic to whatever soot or ash the draft carried with...

Neil Hier: The difference that the Chimney Sheep made to the warmth in the room could be felt straight away. No more draughts coming down the chimney.
Wish we had got it years ago!
