Windscreen seems a little flimsy
I bought this stove because of the great reveiws about it and the included windscreen, but it seems like the thin sheet metal will just blow away in a good wind, and the reflector sheild, another piece of thin sheet metal, sits under the stove, making the base a little more unstable.

Any suggestions?

One option I've used is a flame resistant pad I bought in a Home Depot plumbing dept. Its used for protecting the wall in back of a pipe joint thats being soldered. Looks like a hemp mat but its made of fire resistant material (don't know how long it would last if it was directly exposed to flame). Since its 'woven', it will provide some grip between the ground and stove.
