    It's called a StormShield. Prior to installing a stove, my oil burner had LOTS of issues for years. Nobody could ever solve it, until finally an engineer came over and looked at my system, and found that my system was fine, but the chimney wasn't right. So I had the chimney replaced, and since I live on the water (aka VERY high winds, often), he suggested some kind of storm cap. Well, when I switched to this cap, ALL the problems went away with the burner, and it ran more efficiently.

    So when I installed the stove, I insisted on the same cap on the new chimney. It has worked awesome, no issues at all. Personally, I think they should be standard with any install, why not? They don't cost any more really....

    I think we lost a few posts from this thread when we changed servers.
