SwampD Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Anyone have any experience with them and do they work? I'm tired of not having a fire whenever it blows above 10 mph.

We don't use it much, but it would be good to know.

From what I’ve read, chimneys have to be at least 3 feet higher than the roof where the come through and at least 2 feet higher than any roof within 10 feet. They also have to have some kind of cap. Thinking of getting this. I don’t want one with moving parts like the wind vane ones.
LTS Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Good lord that things looks insane. I knew about chimney regulations in regards to height, etc. Just never heard of a high-wind cap. Honestly I have no idea what is on my chimney. I never paid attention to it. I guess I will have to get out and look at it. I need it inspected anyway.
