Mabe y you have a ghost that put it there. I think my mother in law haunts us. Strange things have happened in the past with no explanation. Gary S.
 
Not looking forward to the pin wash. It would be easier if i gave it a gloss coat i think, The panel line washes won't run on this mat.

Where is Chris when you need him :) Should that H above the funnel be drilled ? ie: is it a pipe outlet ?
God's Truth! I was goofing off again!! Yes, the top and bottom of both sides of the vent pipe should be hollow.
Apologies!
 
It is known as an H-Cowl. In the marine environment, a ship's pitching and rolling is constantly changing wind angles and can cause backdrafts. Any wind going over the top of the vertical legs will create a low pressure area (Bernoulli effect) and suck the exhaust up and out. If there is turbulence causing downdrafts, the exhaust will be pushed out the bottom of the legs and not back into the ship. It will also keep rain, snow and debris from dropping down the flue.

They can be seen on chimneys of houses and industrial buildings in areas of turbulent airflow for the same reasons
