Any problems with making a chimney cap out of angle aluminum? Something like this. I know an HVAC contractor who can fab the cap. he is making a bigger top for an existing cap. I have another chimney that needs one and I figure I can do the frame and screen for a lot less than the 80-100 bucks a new stainless one would cost.

Why not? Something in the smoke gonna hurt it? Are you thinking it will melt or something? A quick google search shows a lot of aluminum caps out there for sale.David

Good point Mike. I hadn't thought about that. I will do a little more research. I suppose I could make it out of stainless but that would defeat the purpose - and stainless is a lot harder to work.David
