Protect your stove even better from the elements and keep embers better contained with this replacement chimney rain cap. Featuring a closed top and slotted side vents, this is the exact same original part included with your stove, ideal to keep on hand as a spare or replacement.
Weather Protection & Spark Control Mounted at the top of your chimney pipe, the solid top shields your stove from rain and snow while allowing exhaust to escape smoothly through the vertical side openings. Alongside weather protection, the slotted construction acts as an extra safeguard that assists the stove's integrated spark arrestor in catching escaping embers. The cap is also fitted with three sturdy side rings for attaching guy lines to stabilize your chimney in windy conditions.
Keep the ribs clear of soot! Because smoke exits directly through the vertical slots around the cap, soot and creosote can gradually build up between the ribs during use. It is important to check the cap regularly and keep the openings clear:
-
If soot clogs the gaps between the ribs, it chokes the exhaust passage and reduces the upward draft in the chimney pipe.
-
Blocked airflow prevents the chimney from drawing properly, forcing smoke to leak out of the stove body and creating a very unpleasant, smoky environment inside your tent. Inspect and brush off the ribs whenever soot begins to accumulate.
