[QUOTE="SLE, post: 199746, member: 3889"] To be honest, I was only trying to match and build a giant version of the actual "Sewer Skewer". I spent some time on their web-site looking at there different products and extensions and decided to build my own out of better material and larger/longer. I assumed the sewer skewer has closed ends for a reason other than manufacturing so I did the best Chinese copy cat that I could. With that said, I have only had 1 freeze up instance so far this winter so I would thus far say it has been better. I actually think they cap the ends so it forces/traps the warm air/gas in the T and keeps the smaller cross drilled holes in the T open better and helps defrost the area around the outside of the copper to keep the vent frost free. I may drill the cross holes in the T out slightly larger for next year so they flow a little more air. When My vent froze this winter, the cross drilled holes were still thawed and open, they just weren't able to exhaust quite enough air. I assume there's a balance of moving to much air where the air/gas begins to cool; and to little, where you start to get some back-up on the few days it almost freezes shut.
