Well I had a brain fart a while back and it has actually come good 
Taken me ages to sort it all out (not wanting to spend money on it! )
It started when on a sea kayaking trip I realised that I was lugging too much kit with me and wanted to reduce it, next was when my penny stove needed some wind protection...add a windshield in the kit, thought I... yet more kit
So I had the aforementioned episode and came up with not one but two solutions, sheesh I must have had some oats that day!
Two strips of waste ali sheet to locate over the Storm Kettle that goes on every trip, the kettle fire base acts as a windshield.
Next was when our cooker broke down and I took the grill off the back fan and came up with something that would allow bigger meths burners like the trangia, by bending down the wire loops that allowed it to be screwed to the cooker.
It will also accommodate another design of tin can burner if you make a lid for it.( seen left of pic)
The really good thing is they can handle most cooking pots/pans and pack away with the kettle with little extra weight.
Okay, the US army mess tin needed some added weight to balance ( other brands of tinned weights are available and prices may vary )
due to the handle length.
The Storm Kettle on the left is the F1 500ml anodised one and the right hand one is the prototype ali that now lives in my work van, like I said in another thread "I don't leave home without one" and these small additions make them even more useful.
Ta for looking in.
