Custom Chimney Cap Work, Hartford CT

Jeff Jacobs came to us with a very unique problem facing his historic home. We were able to design a unique All Season Control Cover for his chimney based on his particular needs.

Problem:
300 year old Connecticut home, two fireplaces and wood stove all venting through a wide open chimney.

Special Consideration:
Work around brick pillars

Solution: 
Custom designed and fabricated split lid dual control All Season Control Cover with stove pipe support ring

Here is the letter we received from Mr. Jacobs:

     DW,

     Outside Dimensions - (long side) 36 1/2" 
     Inside Dimensions - (long side) 29 3/8" 
     Outside Dimensions - (short side) 32"
     Inside Dimensions - (short side) 25 3/8" 

     I have included a few more pictures. One is a shot looking down the chimney. You can see the split which I hear is
     called a "Y" design. There are 3 fireplaces, 2 on one side and one on the other. However, there is a belief that there
     is a 4th one that was covered up years ago which would explain why there is a "Y" design. These 300 year old houses
     have a lot of mystery. 

     Regards, Jeff Jacobs

Using his photos and drawings, we were able to create a split lid cover with a ring built in to support the stove pipe. 

Here is what the finished product looks like:

This 300 year old house will be now able to keep those chilly winter drafts from blowing through the fireplaces.
