I put a cap on my chimney and it seems to me that it may actually slow down my draft. I have 3 sections of pipe on there now and i'm thinking of adding 2 more and taking the cap off. Any suggestions?

I think it is choking it back. My dad doesnt run a cap on his either and he has no issues with a draft either. What's happening with me is the cap rolls the smoke down and the smoke just hangs at that level, it doesn't rise. I think it's because it's cooling to quick. Does this make sense?
