I have cleaned and or inspected my chimney 3 xs this winter and the damper changed nothing in respect to buildup in the chimney. Nor did it change the pipe temps measured in the exact same place before and after plate install. Only thing I see it did was slow the exhaust gas velocity making it easier to regulate the fire especially on windy days.Just like not adding a creosote collecting pipe damper before you know you need it.
