Partially blocking the chimney?

I just saw an ad for the Chimney Balloon company, partially blocking the chimney to reduce the heat loss.
What do you think?
My house is cold, do I need the ventilation from the chimney, in winter?

    Partially should be ok. It should always be ventilated.


    If you've got some spare insulation/fabric, then you can stuff a bin bag and run some waste pipe through the middle. It'll be just as good.
