Before you buy

Measure the outside of your flue tile before ordering. Working on a roof is dangerous, so hire a sweep if you are not comfortable there. A cap with a mesh screen needs checking for creosote.

Questions this guide leaves you with

What does it fit?

Clay or masonry flue tiles, bolted on from outside.

What does the mesh stop?

Birds, according to the listing, along with rain, snow and some downdrafts.
