Chimney rain cover over stack
« on: February 10, 2014, 01:39:45 PM »
Is there any good points to putting a rain shield above the outlet of the Chimney or is it not recommended I put one above mine a couple of year's ago its about 8-10 inch's above the outlet. I did have a Chimney fire 4 day's ago and noticed that i had some build up on the stainless steal cover I had installed that was smoldering. Thanks for any input :)

CB makes one I have two 6048's one has a cap on the other one I use a bucket in the off season I think a good chimney fire is a good thing every once in a while it helps keep it clean
The burner with out the cap plugged last year, the one with the cap not yet, I also have one extra section of stack on both?
