An Open Flue Is A Drain
Pointed Straight Into Your House.
With no cap, every rain goes down the flue and soaks into the masonry from the inside, and every spring something builds a nest in there. A cap stops the water, screens out the animals, and keeps downdraft from pushing smoke back into the room.
Rain Out Of The Flue: Water inside the chimney rusts the damper, stains the firebox, and freeze-cracks the liner from within.
Spark Arrestor Mesh: Screened sides keep birds, squirrels, and raccoons out and keep embers from landing on your roof.
Custom Full-Coverage Available: Multi-flue and full-coverage caps fabricated to your exact crown dimensions in stainless or copper.

What A Cap Actually Keeps Out
Rain, animals, and embers. All three cause damage that costs far more than the cap does.
Lid Plus Screened Sides
The top sheds rain and the mesh sides let smoke out while keeping embers, leaves, and animals from getting in.
An Uncapped Flue Is A Den
Raccoons, birds, and squirrels nest in open flues. Nesting material is a fire hazard and a serious blockage.
One Cap Over The Whole Crown
Full-coverage caps shield every flue and the crown itself, which also slows the freeze-thaw damage on the masonry.
