The Moshier family had several problems for us to solve; up and down fireplaces, smoke in the make-up air and limited clearance for a new chimney cap. We constructed a custom split lid All Season Control Cover with a custom base to solve all these problems.
Constructing an All Season Control Cover takes several skilled craftsman. Each custom cover is individually designed and crafted for a perfect fit.

Constructing a custom All Season Control Cover
Majestic Metal craftsman welds up all of the parts forming the custom bases for the Moshier installation.
A custom mounting base like this one is used when there is no flue tile to attach a regular All Season Control Cover.
After welding/grinding we are back to Stainless Steel Accessories Mfg., Inc in Salt Lake City to check fitting before powder coating the custom mounting bases.
Andy, Willy, and Mike at Metal Craft Trailers took this powder coating rush job in stride, while custom building trailers for boat owners.
Hanging around at Metal Craft (Salt Lake City), the powder coated bases and covers are baked at 400 degrees which creates a very durable finish.
It is now just after 5 pm. and we are back to Stainless Steel Accessories Mfg., Inc where Scott and Jeremy stay after hours to check final fit and finish, assembly and packaging, ready for transport at 7 pm by car overnight to Whitefish, Montana.
We left the Control Covers unsprung so that they were easier to package and to work with at the top of the chimney. The springs will be set at the chimney top as the final step of assembly.
Arrived at the Andrew Moshier home right on time for the scheduled for installation.
Mr. Moshier, gets his first look at the All Season Control Cover, saying "This is a work of art! I hope it works as good as it looks."
Heritage Hearths Masonry, Kalispell, Montana installed this cover. Jeremy Hartle and crew begin the installation, first using the masonry saw you can see in the photograph to remove the existing flue tiles because of the very limited clearance. The successful installation leaves the Moshier family with an easy to use chimney cover that can be opened and closed as needed.
