Answer:
It is best to close off the top 2 or 3 inches of the fireplace opening using a hood that comes down. You can make one to try out of sheet metal and then have a nicer one made of brass or copper if this works.
Another thing that may work is a set of glass doors since the frame effectively also cuts down the size of the opening.
