Chimney cap
Hi...for those of you who burn wood for heat. I have a wood stove with a
stainless steel chimney. I have had a problem over the last week that the chimney cap on the bottom has fallen off and therefore messed up the draft, causing smoke to enter my house. No I did notice that alot of creoset (sp) had fallenon the cap and I think that caused it to fall off. Two questions. 1. Should I be removing the cap every couple of days and knocking out the stuff? I am going to be cleaning the chimney in the next couple of days. 2. Should the cap be falling off at all? Is there way of securing that on so it doesn't fall. I recently bought the house (~6 mths ago), and the chimeny has been in the house for a while 10years. Is there newer method of securing that now? Thanks Jonathan |
