A damper is a device used to regulate the flow of air through a chimney or flue in a fireplace or wood stove. It is typically a metal plate or valve that can be opened or closed to control the amount of air that enters or exits the chimney.

If your fireplace is equipped with a chimney, it should have a damper to control the air flow. However, if your fireplace is a gas fireplace, it may not have a damper, as gas fireplaces typically do not require a chimney.

If you are not sure whether your fireplace has a damper, you can check by looking up into the chimney with a flashlight or by asking a professional chimney sweep or fireplace installer to inspect it for you.
