Does this pot stand serve as a good wind screen also?

Yes, by itself with alcohol stove (Trangia or the knock-offs) its okay but Esbit or the other tabs (Sportsmansguide and Coghan brands I think) you will want additional wind protection because solid fuel type flames are even lower velocity compared to alcohol jets and just need to keep centered on the cup or pot its heating. Just make sure enough air gets to the burning tab or alcohol flame to keep it hot. Or else set up behind a log or rock or even your pack for additional windblock.

This Pot Stand could serve as a wind screen for a very small fire or bed of coals. It does serve as a very good wind screen for a Trangia alcohol stove or the Esbit tablets.

As a windscreen for the stove itself, yes. It works very well for the alcohol stoves I use. I have not tried it with the tabs but I don't see why it would work any different for them.

yes but if you want to bring a strip of foil and a paperclip you can add a breeze buffer a few inches away from the bottom holes to help increase the direct upward flow of heat to your cup or pot becasue the flame is not much of a jet and is breeze sensisitive as a result.

It works ok to block wind, it definitely makes it more comfortable outside. It also help with drifting snow and creates shade in the summer. We put ours up about 9 months ago and it has held up to hot sun, horrible wind, snow, and rain. I do recommend zip tying the screen in the center as well as where the gromits are. If you don't you will create a bit of a sail look.

It is well made for a pop-up canopy of this type. It can be anchored both at the feet (large spikes for this included), and by guy lines on the corners of the canopy. So it should hold up well in the wind, if you anchor it properly.

You will have to weigh the base of the stand for sure - even with slight wind. I haven't used it with moderate wind.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

I'm only using it for display, lined up on a high shelf in my bookcase. So, durability hasn't been an issue. However, the pots are clay, so I wouldn't expect them to hold up outside in a breeze, if they were to hit something.

This screen tent is sturdy and roomy. We really like it. It will set on a patio fine but if it is windy you'd want to tie it down some how.

I use bricks/branches to for leveling and used bricks instead of stakes for stabilizing the top (half the time I don't need anything other than adjusting the base slightly forward or backward to make the screen level. Do not leave out if windy as it will turn into a sail however it is the last thing I worry about if it starts raining. I even sprayed down the screen once to clean it.

Yes, I have used mine for that purpose. Just watch that the wind does not blow out the flame so keep an eye on it. I put a metal wind screen against mine if it's a little breezy . It will simmer !

Not a good tent for windy conditions IMHO. The design is a tall square. It can take wind but dome will be better if you anticipate heavy winds.

This stove is very handy and I'm sure you can I'm been thinking about getting one my self the olny problem I've ever had is on windy days you need a wind shield. I work on the road and I use mine every day inside and outside.

Ours is sturdy and has never fallen, however, it never encounters wind. It stands on shiny, slippery tiles and gets bumped every day by people passing by and adjusting it. As was stated by someone else, stability is determined by keeping the panels folded, i.e., at 90 degree angles, bunched together. We learned from previous experience with screens -- if you over-extend the screen, it will fall when bumped; folded/bunched, ours never falls.

I put up a wind wall. It works as well as any of the Coleman stoves in wind conditions.

The wind screens do not come off but they and the lid will fold down to the side to allow the use of large pots, fry pans or grills. This is a pretty large stove and would probably accommodate 2 10 inch frying pans easily.

Yes it seems like a good quality screen. I have it outside in the woods by our cabin. I do not have the stand, but I attach the four corners to trees with hooks. I take it down when we are done using it. We are happy with it.

This is not a stove, just a windscreen that fits around various small stoves for wind protection and increased performance. Not to be used with canister stoves as it may get the canister too hot.

Almost all small-single burner propane stoves sit on top of the tank, and as a result this folding screen is NOT high enough to work properly as a wind-screen. Coleman used to make a small single-burner stove that sat on the ground and a 12" rubber hose that attached to the propane tank. I have one of those and it works very well with this wind-screen. You need a stove that is less than 6" high. As mentioned, the small Triangia alcohol stoves works well here.
