What is the revolving cover on a chimney called that improves ventilation?

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.


How do you clean a chimney with a cleaning brush?

First you should cover the opening tightly if the fireplace has no doors. With a help of plastic, cover the opening. Climb to the roof using a ladder. Remove the chimney cover with the help of pliers, screwdrivers and tin snips. Once you remove the cover, check inside how much cleaning is required. Use a flash light to see inside if its dark. Lower the brush down the hole and try to brush off all the nasty soot buildups inside. Once brushing is over, check if everything is removed. If cleaning is still required do it repeately until is cleaned properly. Once done, return the chimney cover and then climb down the ladder slowly and safely.
