I’m still happy with the Coleman Fold-N-Go stove I wrote about (here and here) earlier this spring. But shoppers should be aware that its open design does make it more sensitive to wind. It’s blowing a steady 5 knots or more on Lake Union today, even between the boathouses. That’s enough to carry a lot of the heat away before it can go to work on the bottom of a saucepan or teakettle.
We were obliged to relocate the Fold-N-Go to the cockpit floor this afternoon, and once we did that we were able to get the water boiling!

You should be able to get a heavy foil heat reflector and wind shield at REI for around $15 or make something similar yourself. Take a look at .
