Windshield Build Advice

[Blundstoned Love]

Hi All

I want to make a windshield for a Trangia type meths burner.

What DIY material and method do you recommend?

Thanks

Depends what pot you want to support. Thick aluminium disposable cooking pans work.

Thanks

I should have been clearer.

I have a pot support - I want something collapsible to shield that.

Yeah cut up a heavy duty disposable foil tray. Pound shops etc

I use a strip of oven liner, 10cm x 30cm with a hem sewn in each end so it can be held in place with a paper clip or a couple of wire tent pegs.

Second that. I add two small bits of wire coat hanger to each end (roll foil around them) to allow it to be spiked to the ground.

Super cheap and light. I only put this in my hillwalking stuff for light weight along with a coke can stove. A trangia triangle is my choice with a trangia burner. Solid.

Excellent.

You can get a solder-sheet from Tool Station - anyone know if it's the same thing?

I used to use Aluminium cooking foil, folded a few times to make it a bit thicker but eventually invested in a Trangia Triangle which I really like, fllat pack, light, easy to assemble.... suits me!
