Never had a problem in 37 years. Oh, make that 36. The chimney did not
have one when we moved in but after getting the squirrel out I put one
on. Get stainless steel or you will have rust running down the chimney
in a few years.

Agree. Hard to imagine a chimney cap could get clogged by snow,
especially with an oil furnace putting out hot exhaust. Even without the
furnace running, it has big openings on the sides, any snow that blows in
is going to go down the chimney. I suppose you could come up with some
pathological scenario with the perfect ice storm, the furnace not running,
etc., but if that happens, I've never heard of it.

When I moved in, I found two birds in the attic looking up at me from
the pink insulation. Ithink the screen over the soffitt was messed up
at one end enough for them to get in but they couldn't find their way
out. Oh, yeah, they were dead, but they had buried all of their bodies
but their face within the insulation. Either they did it themselves or
other birds did and then left.

Thank you for your replies. Were there any downside to having a chimney cap? I'm really on the fence. The cost isn't a big deal. My house was built in the 1950's and never had one. In fact, I notice most chimneys in New England don't have them.

The only negative for me is that the smoke does not go as high before it
stops going up. A cap should significantly reduce snow getting into the
chimney. Keeping the rain out should improve chimney life.
