    Many OAK is in an inside corner. We have a solar greenhouse next to it. The wind just can't get in there. The exhaust from the stove goes straight up. Seems if you can find some sort of wind block outside, this might address the issue. Things like snow fencing or shrubs could change wind patterns near the home.

    set up your OAKs so that from the wall entrance 90 deg up ,90 deg over and then a 90deg pointing down, pretty much negates wind effects you can of course put some straight section inbetween the 90's or on the last one but is not always needed.

    Good choice, why do something now when you can put it off till later and drink beer instead.

    Might get some wind tonight with the cold front coming down. Put the beer down (o_O) and tinker before you are tinkering in Feb and ducking from the cast frying pan :p.

    Better yet, it's Saturday, tinker while having the beer :D

    OAK seems to be working good so far. Winds 25-30mph gusting up to 40 today, maybe stronger.
