Vent for unused fireplace

elcummino · 2023-12-01 18:26:06

We recently removed our fireplace. But we wanted to keep the Chimney usable as we hope to someday put in a stove. So we put plasterboard about it with a round vent at the bottom for air circulation. Now though, we are getting soot coming down though the vent. Is there a type of vent or filter we could use to stop this?
