Windblock for Stove
Help, we're leaving on Friday and I'm yet to make a contraption to block the wind for my canister stove. What do you reccomend?

You could cut cardboard to the size you want the screen to be and cover it with aluminum foil and bend it into a circular form. If it doesn't stay round, you could clasp both ends together with a paper clip.

I make one out of a double thickness of aluminum foil. I use a big paper clip to hold it closed. I use the paper punch to make holes about an inch from the bottom on one side--they should face away from the wind. I add another double strip of foil clipped to one side. This lays out flat on the ground and I rock it to keep the whole contraption from flying off.

Cardboard. Never used tin foil but imagine it might blow around in the wind by itself.

Disposable oven liner, sold in the grocery store alongside the disposable turkey roaster pans. Cut it with scissors, and secure it with paper clips. Punch a bunch of holes along the bottom.

Listen to the foil folks!

Heavy duty Al foil, ~2.5 feet length and folded lengthwise.

I have a fancy one that came with my Outback Oven, but end up using the heavy duty aluminum foil much like Buddur suggested. Works great actually.
