Covering the OAK, and outside exhauste pipe

[smalltown]

What's a good method of covering these during the summer months?
I had thought of covering the exhaust with a large freezer bag, don't want to secure it with tape that seems like it would be difficult to remove in the fall. Not sure about the somewhat flat surface of the outside OAK.

Many will just stuff a fist full of fiberglass insulation into the pipe.

I used shrinkwrap (same stuff that is wrapped around boxes on pallets) on mine. A few wraps around the OAK and exhaust and you're good to go. A quick slice with a utility knife takes it off come heating season.

I just used some scrap screen and wrapped it over the opening. Taped over the screen not the pipe.

Tape over bag, not pipe.

I cover the OAK with duct tape, and stuff an old rag into the exhaust pipe. Make sure to leave yourself a note to remove them in the fall

I just slip on a pipe cap sized to match the o.d. of the venting. Simple and seals really well. Credit goes to smoke show!

anything to keep the critters out, just remember you have to remove that stuff in the fall!

I still think you deserve some credit. You answered my question in that thread! Whoever deserves the credit it is a really easy way to plug the venting.

This year I tried a coffee can taped to the pipe and I Disconnect my oak at the stove and put plastic bags inside. On the outside (oak) I place mailing tape over the dryer vent screen. Inside my stove/ bin I place newspaper and a container of damp rid.
