Hi, could I ask you lovely people for your advice/ideas again please?
I'm taking a 1 burner gas stove away and don't want to take a table etc and still haven't bought a windguard for the stove. (1st time away....)
Do you have any ideas what I could use as a windguard (DIY with no DIY skills) and can I put the stove directly on the ground?? I'm very reluctant to use the stove in the tent or buy a utility tent etc. Thankyou!

Yes you can use it on the ground, just make sure it is as level as possible.

As for a windshield, if it is one that comes in a plastic carry case then you can stand the case on end, one side will tuck neatly under the side of your stove and the other can be kept in place with a heavy object.

Thanks rochford, yes it's one in a carry case.....it's plastic, will it be alright to use as a shield?


I'd almost got the foil and paperclips out! (saw that one on a backpackers forum!)

I use mine as a shield with no problem, just make sure you place something heavy behind the shield incase the wind takes it.

Pick somewhere as sheltered as possible to put your stove and place the case where needed to shelter the flame form the wind and you should be fine.

We take ours in a plastic carry crate that we also have the other nic nacs like plates,cutlery etc, canisters are wedged in so they dont roll around.

As long as they are not rolling around in the boot of your car they will be fine.

Yes to you last question.

We use our backpacker stove on a granite mat, which provides a nice stable base and is heat resistant. Not something you want to lug around if backpacking, but fine for a car. Useful for your drinks too.

The folding panelled windshields are only a few quid from such as Wilkinsons and have prongs that push into the ground.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

Remember to leave the caps on to prevent other objects pressing on the valve.
