I haven't ever seen a revolving cover on a chimney. Most chimney covers are there to prevent birds and other wildlife from setting up households in the chimney, smoking out the people and possibly, causing a fire.

There are wind-driven ventilation systems that are used on roofs, and possibly that is what you are thinking of.

Why does your chimney sometimes make your room smell of soot?

A smoky odor in your room could be due to poor ventilation, a blockage in the chimney, or a build-up of soot and creosote. When the chimney does not draw properly, it can cause smoke and odors to enter the room instead of being carried outside. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the chimney can help prevent these issues.
