Extra Wide Windshield?

6 replies

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy an extra wide stove windshield?

We have two of the suitcase style stoves like this but I can't find a windshield that will go round both side by side.

Most of them seem to be 62cm wide, I need one that is 65cm+ wide.

Are you looking for just the shield or the kitcheny bit too?

We've got this from Go Outdoors and it's brilliant. Don't really use the sinky bit, but put a chopping board over the top to make a large surface area.

Was just going to suggest something a bit like shirazplease. We just got this from Obelink (useful if you need cupboards too): www.obelink.co.uk/camping-accessories/camping-furniture/hypercamp-ambassador.html?category_params=s_company%3D4%26category_id%3D4252

I think , by the time we added shipping, it came to about £72/73.

That said, until we got that we just put a windbreak around our camping table and the stoves on that.

A budget option which I used recently (but only for one cooker) was to cover a piece of cardboard with aluminium foil and bend the two ends in to form a shield like the one in your link. Worked a treat. You could get a long piece and do the same maybe?

funny mummypig that's the same as mine, excepting that they've put a cover around it which makes more sense....

That is a very smart kitchen but we only need the windshield.

I picked up the Outwell one for £8.99 in Go Outdoors at the weekend then DH said he thought we should measure it. Good job we did because it's nowhere near wide enough to go round two stoves.

DH was threatening to make his own and I had visions of him bashing away with a hammer on a sheet of aluminium. The foilwrapped cardboard looks like a better option maybe.

Thanks for your help both.

It is the same as yours shiraz, except the cover round it is actually a hanging double cupboard with a couple of pieces of hardboard-type stuff to put in the bottom to form shelves. We also have a table which has the same sort of arrangement and it is handy for putting your food/crockery etc when you are not using it.

Quenelle, making your own metal one would be brilliant but it would need to have hinges really so you could fold it. I wondered about making a hinged one with something like plywood but it would need to be covered (with aluminium foil I guess) to avoid a fire risk. That's where the cardboard arrangement is easier (took me a couple of minutes to make one) but it probably won't last very long sadly.
