I take it that the vent/flue is a straight tube with a cone shaped grill on the end as it comes out the wall of your house.
I have had this problem in the past, there are two things that may help one is extend the flue and fit a 90 degree elbow so it comes out the wall and points up. I have not seen this done so ask or wait for further advice on this one.
The other is a metal housing that has a flat metal sheet approx 12" x 12" unfortunately I don't think I can draw pictures on here other wise I would illustrate. I have seen this, to the sides top and bottom it has a grill bar assembly and fixes to the wall.
basically its designed so the wind does not blow into the pipe and blow out the pilate light.
