Not really impressed with insert because of cold draft issues. Need Outside air kit?

You need to get a liner hooked to that insert if you want it to work well at all what you are doing is fantastic and really needs to be done but without your insert being installed correctly you will probably never be happy with the performance. Yes what hog said but they are nitrile

I think you're main issue is the slammer. When I moved into an old house, my first house on my own, it has a slammer installed. That thing blasted more of my heated air up the chimney then I care to remember. It sucked like a vaccume from around the insert and surround. Not to mention it's dangerous as all hell. If your strapped for cash, line that thing with a 6 inch liner and adapt it to be 8 inch outlet on the stove. It's not the best, but it's better then a slammer

Don't mess around; Get 3M.
I tried some of these around door jambs, they work. The door closes against the vinyl tube (don't press them against the closed door too tight, or the door will be hard to close. Don't ask how I know.)

Haha! yea, no kidding. Now if I could find some more on the cheap, instead of this 250-300 a cord stuff that must have actual gold flakes in it.Cutting and splitting more fire wood will also remove it.

Does it remove it from carpet? I made a mess spray foaming the perimeter of the foam board I finally got installed in the small bedroom ceiling, some dripped onto the carpet.
Any ideas for removal without totally trashing the carpet?
Which does not preclude snipping out the welded fibers and putting a few back in. The reason there is still the carpet scraps in the basement from when this house was built 30 years ago.
