What's the best cap style in your opinion? My chimney has no cap at all, was just finished off with a "cap" of cement over the brick. As a result I occasionally get some water coming down the chimney during particularly heavy thunderstorms, and the living room ends up smelling like a wet chimney. As a result I am considering a cap, and if there's one that helps the chimney draw better I'd definitely be interested in hearing about it
