Description
A fire that smokes back into the lounge on a windy night is often a cowl problem. This 150mm slimline storm cowl end piece sits on top of a 150mm double skin flue and shields the outlet from rain and gusting wind, so the stove keeps drawing well when the south-easter picks up.
Slimline Storm End Cowl Details

What does a 150mm cowl like this fit?
Use it on any 150mm double skin flue, which is the common size on many closed combustion fireplaces. If your flue is single skin or a different diameter, ask us for the correct storm cowl. You can see the full range of slimline storm cowls for insulated flues or browse all cowls.
Do I need a 150mm slimline storm cowl in Cape Town?
On exposed roofs, near the coast or on the slopes of the mountain, a storm cowl is usually worth it. It helps stop downdraught and keeps driving rain out of the flue and fireplace. Stainless steel also copes well with salty sea air, so the cap keeps its finish and fit for many winters without needing replacement.
