Ya know, I hadn't even THOUGHT of that! Good idea! I've got plenty of 'booses that have missing or broken chimney pipes. Excellent suggestion, thanks!

Looks like a good replacement idea to me I've made one or two out of some small pieces of black wire which I glued together. They don't look bad but usually they aren't perfectly straight.
I'll have to try this sometime.
