[TheForge] Forge Flue Rain Cap

[David E. Smucker]

Frosty,  I have only had the unit on my stack in operation for a few months 
now so do not have a long term history to know it this is a problem.  I 
don't expect this to be an issue any more than normal deposits of soot on a 
roof from the use of coal.  One advantage of the arrangement and the taller 
stack seems to be that more of the soot etc. falls way down wind rather than 
on my shop roof.
