FAQs
Will this fit a standard flat-mount camping stove?
Yes, it is compatible with most stoves, but it is specifically optimized for taller standing canister stoves that require extra height coverage.
Is the windshield dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to clean it by hand with a soft cloth to avoid damaging the finish or hinges.
How much does the windshield weigh?
The windshield is designed to be lightweight for backpacking; exact weight specifications can be found on the product packaging, but it is optimized for minimal carry-weight.
Can I use it with a liquid fuel stove?
Yes, it can be used with various fuel types, but always ensure the fuel line is clear of the hot metal panels.
What should I do if a hinge becomes stiff?
You can use a small amount of food-safe lubricant on the hinge points if they become stiff due to debris or grit.
Troubleshooting
Windshield blowing over
Ensure the pegging pins are fully inserted into the ground. If the ground is rocky, place heavy stones against the bottom edge of each panel.
Stove flame flickering or going out
Check that the shield is not completely enclosing the stove, as some stoves require airflow from the bottom to prevent overheating or carbon monoxide buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, unfold the panels and arrange them around your stove with enough clearance for air intake; ensure the stove is not touching the metal panels to prevent overheating. When the ground is hard, you can use heavy stones to weight the base instead of the pegs. Compatibility is best with canister-mounted stoves that have a taller profile. After use, wipe the panels down with a dry cloth to remove soot or food debris. Ensure the shield is completely dry before folding and placing it back into its carry bag to prevent potential corrosion or odors.
