Can anyone recommend a vent cap for a windy corner. I have a wall vent, and the stove goes out on a windy day like 25-35 mph, like today.

It's also only about 18" from a corner on a 2nd floor, probably not ideal, but had no choice.
 
the wind at my house almost always blows west to east , i have my vent pointed toward the east so the wind isn't blowing straight into the vent. i haven't had any problems

Hmmm, didn't think of that, wonder if the corner is an issue too ?
