As Helen says, definitely worth using a windshield of some sort, whether bought or home-made. We used to stand a twin burner stove on a table but with a windbreak surrounding it on 3 sides (the stove had a lid and 2 folding sides too forming a further windshield). Later we went the whole hog & splashed out on a utility tent and cooked inside that.
Prior to that with a single burner stove, we experimented with various ideas including standing the stove inside a biscuit tin with the lid stood upright, we made a canvas windshield with wire supports that just pushed into the ground, and at one point we had a large catering sized tin which we partially cut down one side and stood the stove inside that (this one was the most effective). We did also buy a folding one (camping gaz) which almost completely surrounded the stove -that one was effective too (cost about £5 but that was a number of years ago). We also at one point used a very cheap quick-erect beach shelter (ours had a zip up front so all our cooking stuff could be zipped away neat & tidy out of sight when finished with).

Ah, Bob61's post appeared whilst I was typing mine (takes me ages on my tablet!). What I hadn't considered was the modern flat single burner stoves as ours were the more traditional upright ones. Some of the home-made contraptions I mention might not be any good for the flatter stoves.

I use a Kampa windshield.
I drilled 3 small holes in the table for the feet to fit into and it stays put regardless of wind.
