What is the best terra cotta chimney cap on the market?

Answer by  mb (5482)

I personally do not like the terra cotta chimney caps. These are prone to temperature differentials that are potentially dangerous. If you have a really hot fire and a really cold winter they can crack. I like the cast iron caps, they have more give. You can probably get away with a Craftsman model but don't expect it to last.

They are generally all the same but the trick will be getting one that matches you existing roof. There are manufacturers that will specialize in making a special cap for an increased price. Depending on how bad you want it to match this would be a good option Free Brick is one of the best.
