I have worked with fireplace chimneys that are tapered. They work great. The tapering takes place in the top 2 to 3 feet of the top and, if memory serves me, it is roughly 75%. Chimney pots also reduce the cross-section of the flue but nowhere near as much. Chimney pots used to be installed to solve smoke problems. Today they are installed because people like the way they look. If someone could explain to me why they work, I'd be most appreciative.
