i have two auburns. one vented to the east and one to the west. stove to the east runs all levels and never needs cleaning. stove facing west always #2 error on windy days. not sure about solution to wind protection. also is the wind effecting the fresh air vent or exhaust vent? I have them vented straight outside the house exposed to direct westerly/northern winds.
thanks for your help.

Place an elbow on the end of the air intake pipe aimed down. An elbow on the exhaust end can be tried or extend the pipe into something like a metal garbage can or a large diameter section of stove pipe with a hole cut in the side for the exhaust pipe to fit in, or you can use a tee in the larger pipe. Anything to shelter the end of the exhaust from the wind.
