DW,

I am a very handy guy, so the installation was a breeze for me. Considering the mod that had to be made installation was less than 1 hour total split between 2 days (allowed silicone to completely dry). Yes, the mod was unexpected. I don't think you should be responsible for mods because every project will be different and if it wasn't right you'd be liable. The top of the flu isn't perfectly flat/level, I added enough silicone to make as flat a seal as I could (it's pretty close to air tight). I am happy with the look of the ASCC. One thing I would add to your directions is to consider the wind direction for placement. Yes there was pine needles at the bottom of the flu. I didn't notice any evidence of critters. 
I found that some moron cut the original damper handle off then welded it open. They also added a flat plate of steel with 8" hole in middle to the top of the fire box. I'm guessing it either had an insert or they made a retro damper witjnthe 8" hole.
I'll send a pic of the closed ASCC and the flat steel for clarification.
 
I found that when i installed it the mounting bracket wanted to tilt the ASCC backward causing about a 1" hap when closed. I was able to add a piece of steel the outer hinge bracket to tip it forward for a tighter seal.
 
In regard to a fire with link adjustments, I have already experimented with this. I found that 2 links away from closed is optimal. 1 link from closed makes the house smell of smoke.

All Season Chimney Cover
Energy Innovator Award Nominee, 2014


" Summer months also cause [energy] loss, especially if there is a swamp cooler in use. The pressurization of the home will drive a cool stream of air out of the opening and we can find respite from the hot sun over an open chimney top." read more...
