Does one need a chimney cap or not? Does the rain bother the chimney or affect the soot? If there is an inch of rain that means there is an inch or rain in the chimney, where did it go? When I run the wood stove I can hear the rain sizzling when it hits the stove pipe in the chimney. Why are some chimneys capped and others not? Some I guess have problems with squirrels or birds nesting in there and I can see a cap in that case.
