maybe use something pellet specific.
that looks to be a gas vent type cap?
 
Ths is the cap that I have:

For some reason now the water gets in. It leaks at the bottom of the T vent, and the T cap is full of water, I have checked and rechecked and the water comes from inside the vent so the problem is the cap.
I went on the roof yesterday and made sure it was level which it wasnt, maybe that was the issue, but because I dont use the stove as much I want to get a better cap to prevent rain coming in.
