The present invention relates to a dripless chimney cap [1100] employed in the protection of a chimney flue from the natural elements of the outside environment. Said enclosure protects the opening of a chimney flue by acting as a barrier to entry while preventing condensates from dripping down the outside of chimney. These condensates are the result of the combustion process occurring within a heating source to which a chimney is connected. The dripless chimney cap [1100] includes a top cap [1110], which is a cone-shaped plate at the top of the chimney cap [1100] for stopping liquids and objects from falling into the chimney. A condensation drip pan [1120] in the shape of an inverted cone is positioned below the top cap [1110] and functions to catch and collect condensates which drip down from the top cap [1110]. It directs the condensates toward the inside of the chimney flue. A mounting flange [1130] attaches to the chimney and secures the condensations drip pan [1120] and top cap to the chimney. In an alternative embodiment, a flared lip [1150] on the mounting flange [1130]] extends outward to catch condensates falling through the screen mesh [1160]. A screen mesh [1160] located between the condensations drip pan [1120] and the mounting flange [1130] is designed to allow cross air flow so as to provide the chimney effect needed for proper usage of a chimney.
