The aspirator is a wind driven chimney cowl in 316 stainless steel. The aspirator cowl fits chimney pots with an internal diameter or 150-225mm (6-9 inches). This cowl is good at stopping downdraft and can help to increase draw on a sluggish chimney when it is windy. In fact in some situations an aspirator cowl is the only answer to sluggish chimneys. An aspirator is not suitable for an inefficient stove or a fireplace as the cowl is liable to become tarred up. It is best to use this cowl on efficient stoves that will not be run slowly or overnight. The aspirator cowl should be checked and cleaned every year to make sure it is free from tar and check that it can spin freely. We recommend that you avoid the use of aspirators on oil fired stoves, the reason is that in high wind conditions they can create excessive draft and damage the stove as a result.

The Spark Arrester chimney cowl is designed to prevent sparks going onto thatched roofs. Spark arrester cowls are still required by some insurance companies however most are now veering away from them. This is also increasingly in line with advice from fire brigades.

Spark arrestor cowls for thatched roofs are very dangerous if they are not cleaned properly – at least twice a year. This removes the tar deposits that build up on and in the cowl – if they are not removed then the tar can set alight and burning fragments set fire to the roof. They nearly always are not cleaned properly – this requires knowing that they need cleaning and remembering to do it plus raising a ladder up a thatch roof can damage the thatch so many people do not clean their spark arrestor.

If you do not clean the spark arrestor then it is more dangerous having one that not.

For these reasons we will no longer be supplying spark arrestor cowls.

The stainless steel birdguard comes in a terracotta finish and is ideal for stopping bird entry and will also very much reduce rain entry. One advantage of this cowl is that the opening to the chimney pot is left very open and so this is a suitable cowl for open fires.

As you can see the Euro Top Guard chimney cowl has a very open mesh with a great deal of vertical space. This leaves the chimney unrestricted and makes this a cowl suited to open fires (open fires need a great deal of air flow through the chimney or they end up smoking). The Euro Top Guard also provides some protection against rain entry.

This cowl is made of stainless steel but is available as zinc coated steel.
