I had that occur when I unpacked an aluminum cone while making a video. Got to remember that they are under tension. That tension issue was a concern for me when I designed this new windscreen. I releived the tension by heat treating. You can see from my last video that there is no longer a concern of a "jumping out" issue. I consider that a major improvement over the DIY or commercial cones.

By the way, the stainless steel band closure strip that helps hold my windscreen together is in part an idea that Jason Klass came up with a few years ago. I think he called it a belt buckle closure. It had quite a few holes punched in it to reduce weight. Thanks Jason :-)

Family matters have caused me to put this project on hold.

Dan, sorry to hear it. Hope everything works out OK.

Thanks David. Son-in-law's funeral was yesterday. He was 54 years young. Heart attack/diabetes. Now life goes on for the rest of us for a space in time. Make the best of it.

I can begin my project again tomorrow.

Very sorry to hear about your son-in-law.

Thank you Brent. Really takes a toll on a guy. Takes the wind out of your sails for a bit.

Hey, just wanted to get back on track with this project. Want to show you how I pack the stove in the wood burning mode. after you watch my video go over and watch the Trail Designs video on how the TiTri Inferno stove is loaded. Big difference in the two.

I'm finished with this windscreen project. All has went well. Working with titanium has been interesting and rewarding.

New design for a welded wire pot support gives new meaning to a StarLyte stove. Yesterday I weighed a 2 cup foster pot with lid, a starlyte burner with lid and a full size ss pot support and the weight came to 1.5 ounces. Pot support fits inside the Foster can.

Thank you everyone for your help on this project.
