Thinking about ways to reduce the massive syphon effect up the chimbley when there's a howling gale outside, I thought of one of those stack pipes that bends over to vent horizontally, but can rotate and has a vane so it always points downwind.
After some googling it appears these are called "lobster back cowls".
Anyone ever used one of these and are they effective? I can use a balloon in the unused chimney but would like to reduce the gale effect for the one that's in frequent use.
