Scott, you're thinking of T2s...T3s are remarkably good in crosswinds. In any case, my point is that the fridge combustion system is designed to operate correctly -- and safely -- under almost any conceivable condition of wind. Driving down the road is not a challenge for it. This is a remarkable achievement given that the flame approximates a candle flame. But in order to achieve the design goals, it has to be sealed up perfectly so that the two flue openings are the only entries into the system.
