Downward Draught Cowl

Hi guys, Any suggestions on which type of cowl to get for a chimney which has excessive downward draught. We currently use the fire as an open fire. Thanks in advance.

I can't advise on this only to recommend chimney cowl products as a good website to source such item; I've purchased a chimney cap from them four years ago; blocked up my chimney no heat loss atall.

H cowls are pretty good at preventing down draughts and also keep out the rain..
