This titanium windscreen weighs only 16g, rolls up compactly and has several benefits.
It:
- Lets you use your stove in windy conditions
- Lowers fuel consumption
- Allows faster boil times, and finer
simmer control
It suits:
- Alcohol stoves
- Solid fuel (esbit) stoves
- Remote gas canister stoves
- Wood-burning "twig" stoves
- Open wood fires (e.g. getting tinder started)
NB: not for stoves mounted directly on a canister - it will reflect heat back onto the canister dangerously.
Specifications:
- 0.03mm thick titanium material
- Diagonally cut ends (for pot handle / lifter access)
- Holes for airflow at the top and bottom
- Edges affix together with a press button

Cons

- V cutout for handles is possibly too large
- Noisy (when setting up, and in the wind)
