No, you should address that smell immediately. It often indicates creosote buildup mixing with summer humidity, which is highly acidic and corrosive to your masonry. It can also be a sign of draft issues that will lead to smoke pouring into your home when you light your first fire.
Yes, a chimney cap is a critical safety device. It prevents embers from escaping your flue and landing on your roof or nearby dry leaves, potentially starting a wildfire. It also stops rain and animals from entering, both of which can cause blockages and chimney fires.

Yes, without exception. Even modern, well-maintained chimneys can experience unexpected downdrafts or blockages that push CO indoors. A detector is your only warning system for this colorless, odorless gas, acting as a necessary backup to your chimney’s mechanical safety features.
Stop using it immediately. Debris in the firebox usually indicates a serious collapse inside the flue liner. Operating the chimney without an intact liner exposes your home’s framing to extreme heat and drastically increases the risk of a house fire; professional repair is required before the next use.
