snowpeak stove windscreen on 09/09/2007 18:33:56 MDT Print View

I tried making one just like what Snowpeak offers out of flashing and it melted. There is just too much heat in that area. A titanium version might be able to stand the heat.

I just use a doubled-up sheet of heavy duty foil wrapped 2/3 around the stove, canister, and pot - in the most traditional way - held down by a couple of rocks under a lip of the foil. It's simple, easy, and packs well. If you face the screen toward the wind and leave it 1/3 open, the canister doesn't get hot. It probably works better than the integrated Snowpeak windscreen.
