Right On! Scott!

(Sorry Derek, I just can't help myself)  ;)

My best fix to date for this is to clean out the spider webs etc. if
you have them and bite-the-bullet and buy the VW cover for the flue
vent.  They are, unfortunately, overpriced as Hell ($18.00) and they
fall apart after about a years use, but they really keep the problem
from reoccuring.  I've tried to find a Tupperware or Rubbermaid 
shallow bowl that would be a good substitute, but I haven't been able
to get a good match.  I think VW researched this one real good so that
there is no bowl in the entire world that has the same dimensions.
And, of course, the material for theirs is designed to self-destruct
every year. :(
