Description
The Vacu-Stack Air Cooled Chimney Cap is the best solution for wind induced downdrafts. It is designed to fit double or triple-wall, air-insulated, factory built chimneys to stop wind from blowing into the chimney regardless of the wind direction. By accelerating air flow around the Vacu-Stack, flue gasses are forced to flow up and out of the chimney.

This Vacu-Stack Air Cooled Chimney Cap features a unique design that actually increses the draft when the wind hits it as opposed to deflecting it down the chimney and overpowering the draft. A special large 16" bottom collar rests underneath the cap to keep rain from entering the air-insulated chimney and maintain the proper internal venting that is required.

Reviews

Excellent but expensive

"Excellent for high wind area(40mph+) but quite pricey. Could have a better way to secure it to the chimney. It's simply a friction fit and seems questionable for a high wind cap. Hopefully the high winds dont rip it off because there's truly nothing securing it to the chimney. ."

— Joshua J. (4/5)

Works perfectly

"I live in the forest with trees towering around and close to my house. I purchased the 8-in Vacu-Stack about 3 years ago and it works flawlessly, no downdrafts."

— Elijah T. (5/5)

Worked as advertised

"Easy changeout. With the recent winter blast and high winds smoke pretty much stayed out of the house. Before on a breezy day could not use the fireplace."

— Josh G. (5/5)

The 5"""""""" snap-lock 90 degree elbows work just fine for me.

"Light Output"

Vacustack

"This thing actually works. Live at the base of a hill and been getting crazy down slope winds this year that were causing bad back drafts. Added pipe, didn't work. Got one of the swivel caps, didn't work. Thought I might have to move the stove but tried this cap and haven't had a problem since."

Vacu-stack

"It works 40+ mph wind and no down draft."

— Sam W. (5/5)

High wind problems fixed

"This is an amazing product. I was unable to have a fire if the winds were above 15mph due to backdrafting. With the Vacu-Stack I can even start a fire in 30mph winds. This is a great product for high wind areas!"

— Gordon U. (5/5)

Vacu-Stack 8"" for Triple Wall

"I recently installed this item and unfortunately found that it doesn't work any better than the cap that I replaced, that was not designed specifically to block wind. The only time that I have a problem with downdrafts, is when the wind is blowing from the north or north-east. This doesn't seem to work for me."

— Bbailey J. (2/5)
