"light weight, sturdy, and easily packable" yeah that pretty much says it.

I've seen the caldera cone setup and it works very well, but doesn't pack all that well (there's things you can do, but it hasn't agreed with me). My brother loves his, but practically in the field he doesn't do any better than me.

Part of it is chosen by your pot .

Most of my time is spent with an anti-gravity-gear 3 cup pot. I use a penny alcohol stove. I use two
things for a windscreen.

1) I have a (solid) piece of aluminum flashing cut the same height as the pot, that fits inside. this is
then used as a small C shape (well, more of an O with a one or two inch opening) around the base of the pot. open on one end.

2) I use a piece of heavy aluminium foil, just like an MSR windscreeen. if you have an MSR windscreen
juse use that.

in heavy wind my setup looks like the short flashing screen, surrounded by the big tall MSR style piece of
foil. You don't need all them silly holes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> the tall outside foil is left with a small opening at one side opposite the open C of the flashing. My outside foil is usually weighted down with whatever I pick up nearby.

it all fits inside my pot with the stove and wire stand. if I also put my cup in the pot I can't fit the foil
inside, and leave it out folded up in the bottom of my food bag. I only use the tall foil if it's good and windy. otherwise I just use the short piece of flashing.
