Gelco Stainless Steel 8" x 8" 1" Flue Stretcher

I bought this chimney cap to address a rather unusual situation. I have an outdoor fireplace on the covered patio behind my home. Due to some sort of odd low pressure area caused by the nearness of the house, the fireplace smoked badly. I purchased this cap in hopes of getting the smoke high enough to get into the airstream above my home. It definitely helped my problem and mostly resolved it. To completely solve my issue, I added a special fire grate to really push the heat up the chimney. I had no problems installing the chimney cap. Although they seem secure now, I was afraid that the screws might loosen over time. To prevent the cap from blowing away, I added a thick layer of silicone sealant around the base. The silicone doesn't get too hot when the fire is going and will keep the cap secure even if the screws fall out. The cap is very well built and seems quite durable. It was a good solution for my problem.

Very well made product. Good quality and pleasing appearance. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Great product, well made and easy to install.

My fireplace never did draw well and discharged smoke frequently found its way into my basement because it was picked up by my second flue which vented by furnace and water heater. A 34" extension for the fireplace flue immediately solved a problem that vexed us for more than 20 years.

What can i say right out of the box up on the roof done 10 minutes ,thing is well made should last longer than me.
