Heat reflector/wind shield for Mini-trangia

[calibanzwei]

Afternoon all,
Received a mini-trangia off my bro for Xmas - it's a neat little thing compared to the SA military one I had. Needs a heat reflector/wind shield though, something like this Primus one however if I can spend less or be given enough of a mental prodding regarding making a decent one that would be awesome.
I'd like it to be foldable or pack flat.

Any ideas?

Get yourself down the local supermarkey and buy an ali foil turkey roasting dish and make one out of that

Cheers Ian/Mesquite,
Wouldn't the roasting dish be a bit lightweight? I place my tent between me and the prevailing wind, so cook on the 'calmer side' - not loads of wind, but a gust would carry the tray away.
Ian, is that cut down one of yours made from the ebay link Rik posted? Very nice - how easy to cut down? (I am limited in both tools and knowledge!)

You'd use a couple tent pegs to keep it in place.

As for cutting down a folding shield it's easy to do with a hacksaw

Triple folded cooking foil will get you up and running. I've got the Primus and MSR foil shields but much prefer the folding shields.

Yes and as Mesquite says, a hacksaw is fine for cutting them but I used a Dremmel with a diamond cutting wheel in it. You can also get 0.7mm cutting discs for a 4.5" angle grinder which are great for thin stuff.
