I've got a 1.3L Evernew Non-Stick Ti Pot on order and I'd like to make a windscreen for it while it's in the mail.

Evernew lists the dimensions at 5.91" x 3.03" but I presume that's the inner dimensions. I would appreciate it if someone could measure the outer diameter for me, not counting the lip at the top, so I can size my windscreen accordingly.

The non-stick and untreated 1.3L Ti pots are both listed with the same dimensions, so I presume that the outer diameters for both pots would be the same, so a measurement from either would be appreciated.

While I'm starting a thread, how much gap should I aim for around the pot? I've heard 1/4", but perhaps an even tighter fit would be more efficient (and a hair lighter). I was thinking something like an 1/8" might still vent the exhaust fine, yet be slightly more efficient.

Mine measures 5.86 inches in diameter. If you're using an alcohol stove I'd recommend a gapposis of 3/8" and no more than 1/2". The windscreen should be as tall as may be easily stored, so as to cover as much of the pot side-wall as possible. Best idea is to get a Caldera Cone for the pot and solve a whole lot of "alcohol stove" problems at once.

Better yet, remove the pot handles and brackets and install a Ti spoke bail handle. Lightens the pot and you can leave the pot gripper at home.

Thanks for measuring. I sincerely appreciate that.

Is that a FeatherFire stove I see poking out in the last picture?

I was wanted to make a caldera cone but Dave from PackaFeather said that the FeatherFire doesn't work well in the low oxygen environment. If that is a FeatherFire, do you find that it burns okay with the Caldera Cone? I guess I have enough aluminum flashing to make a dozen windscreens, so I may as well give it a try.

I could also make sort of a cone shaped windscreen but one that still leaves a tiny gap (ie. 1/8") and doesn't support the pot. This might work effectively, breathe well and it would put the pots weight on the stove which is desired so you can use the adjuster without worries of tipping the stove.

How much weight did you save with the wire bail instead of the handles?

Dan,
It is the Packfreather stove and it works almost as well as the standard Caldera Cone stove. There are so many variables in actual field use I can't tell the difference. The Packfeather allows me to simmer.

The Ti spoke bail saves about a quarter ounce.

Thanks for the info….I'm going to make a few different windscreens and try to do some controlled testing at home to see which works the best for me. I think I'm going to do a 4" high one, a 5" high one and a cone. If there isn't a difference then I'll take the lightest one.
