I have a Kabola E7*, and have experienced the same windy conditions. However, I have had none of the problems you describe. 1. Is your flue as tall as Kabola specifies? 2. Do you have a proper Kabola-type terminal (i.e. cap) on it? (These caps are deliberately *not* directional, and seem to be very effective) 3. Do you have an insulated (i.e. double-wall) flue? >PS backdraft/backdraught - which is right? Neither. It is "down draft" or "downdraft" IMHO.
