Moved into a very old house. There is a brick chimney with a 6 inch pipe inside. It stubs out of the stop of the chimney about a foot. I've been calling around trying to find a cap and all the places near me say they need to know the brand of the pipe to get the right cap. I have no idea what the brand is or how to tell without there being some kind of marking. Shirley somebody makes a cap that can be used on many different stove pipes? Maybe a clamp on? I'm living in a rental, will be here 5 years at the absolute most. Stove is a blaze king princess if that makes a difference
 
The stove is probably not important.
What IS important is what you have at the top of your
chimney & whether or not that installation is correct.
Can you post a pic so we can see what you have?

[Hearth.com] Universal chimney cap? [Hearth.com] Universal chimney cap? [Hearth.com] Universal chimney cap? Here it is. Looks like stainless, single wall. There are no markings on it.
 
You are correct in thinking brand really doesn’t matter. You just need a rigid liner cap. It should be crimped and just slide into your existing pipe. No biggie
