windscreen for esbit stove

Anyone have any experience with Wetfire? They claim it is weatherproof and will still burn strong in wind or rain. Any validity to this? If this is true, I'll just start using the Wetfire product instead of esbit.

if you search for Esbit in the G Spot forum I did a comparo between esbit and wetfire- no comparison in the end- the wetire makes a great emergency tinder (even if things are soaking wet), but it does not perform as a stove fuel

I also have a couple of the pics of the windscreen (Ti) that I came up w/- pretty excited about it as I got good performance out of the Esbit and I have it configured to burn wood as well (that performed very well too) :)

Thanks mike! I will do a search for your post and check it out.

cut aluminum flashing (trapezoid) to fit between the support ends. It is light and fits inside the stove when packed. Just make sure to sand the protective (plastic) coating off the flashing. And don't breath the alum fumes.

I folded some aluminum foil , four layers thick, wide enough so that it comes most of the way up the side of my pot. Then I rolled it into a cylinder a little larger than the outside of the pot, so that I have about a 1/2" gap between windscreen and pot. I stapled the ends together. Works great.
