Looking for ultra thin titanium foil

. Docooler Camp Stove Windshield Ultra-thin Titanium Wind Shield Screen Windproof Plate 15/19cm(optional .

Why not just use aluminum foil?  Thin.  Light.  Cheap. My 2 cents.

I’d prefer something more durable than aluminum foil. But you’re certainly right, it is cheap and light!

I ordered the above link, thanks!

Embossing foil is what the MSR windscreens are made of. Pretty inexpensive and readily available. Fold unfold with ease

Where does one find embossing foil?

This is usually 36 gauge 1000 series aluminum foil.  Basically, the oven foil that is used in disposable aluminum oven pans.  Grocery & party stores carry the stuff.  My 2 cents.

I used to use a screen made of that oven pan foil, but my cat food stove melted it.  I had 1/4″ spacing around a 10cm Imusa mug.  Standard hole punch stove design.  I was going for improved thermal transfer to the pot. If you just want to block the wind with a larger radius it should be ok.

You might want to take a look at the ti screens from https://suluk46.com/product/anuri-titanium-windscreen/

Not sure that  thin (or otherwise) Ti would have been any  good for repeated folding.

Has anyone tried this ?

See Suluk46’s sold out wind screen. It’s a closed cylinder.  Thin Ti can take a pretty small radius bend before permanent deformation.  He just sort of loosely folded/rolled these to fit in a pot.  Only deal breaker is if you want to fit a fuel canister in your pot.

I’ve purchased a couple of ultra thin titanium windscreens.  Modified them to my needs and lost them in the wind.  They sail like feathers.  I had some Ti-Goat material and made one out of that.  A tad heavier but I haven’t lost it to the winds yet.

The ultra thin ones will “tear” with repeated folding. I just fit mine in my pot unrolled against the inside surface. If you have a low-wide pot this won’t work of course.  Maybe that’s why you want to fold the screen.

There are a number of sellers on Aliexpress for future reference. I suspect they are the same as the Amazon one:    Titanium Windscreen

Some time ago i bought a very thin ti windscreen from aliexpress. It looked very similar to the one linked by link.

That windscreen didnt work for me. Similar to what don A’s experience it was really bothersome to use b/c wind always used to deform it and blow it away. Mine also broke at the folds way sooner than i hoped.

I had the same experience with the titanium foil. Not a game winner. Not as springy as TiGoat’s foil, especially once I put the fold in it…

I used to use a screen made of that oven pan foil, but my cat food stove melted it….

I’ve had the same experience.  Fancy Feast cat food can stove with oven pan aluminum foil wind screens.  Melted a couple of them.

I’ve had the same experience.  Fancy Feast cat food can stove with oven pan aluminum foil wind screens.  Melted a couple of them.

The melting point of aluminum is 1221 F.  It is pretty clear than the problem is not so much the aluminum but the right inlet/outlet ventilation configuration.  I would suspect that those designs caused thermal feedback in your alcohol stove thereby leading to the meltdown.  If you made the same windscreen design out of titanium, it would probably still overheat your stove.  My 2 cents.

Re. Fancy Feast, yeah, I suspected thermal run away.  But it took a couple outings before it happened and then it always happened. All the same set up.  I was surprised such a widely accepted design would do that. 10cm Imusa pot, ~3/8 gap for the wind screen, bunch of vent holes at the bottom.

That’s what happens when you don’t do system level testing.  My 2 cents.
