For six years I didn't consistently use a flue cover and
didn't have any real problems.  Then last winter, I parked
my Westy in back where the winds and the unpaved alley
make some dust--and I didn't have a cover since it cracked
apart in the fall.

I had lots of crude in the combustion chamber in the
spring.

So where you park makes a difference.  Out here in the
West, we have dust--something you probably don't worry
about in New England.
