im not sure if it is worth having it if you are always going to use the alc. burner. Seems like a simple foil wind screen will do as well. i built mine so that i would be able to carry the alc. burner and only a few oz. of fuel for very rainy days or any time i cant find a hand full of twigs. This will also save me money in the long run because i will not have to buy fuel nearly as often.
