I guess I don't understand your "heavy aluminum" design. Mine is narrow enough at the bottom so it doesn't slip down over the canister. I leave one side (downwind side) open so i can reach the control and plenty of air gets in so the tank doesn't over heat and there is plenty of make up O-2 for the flame. The foil fits around the pot loosely so the hot air escapes around the pot.
