What is a windscreen?
A windscreen is a protective barrier designed to shield camping stoves from wind while cooking outdoors. It typically consists of lightweight, foldable aluminum or titanium panels that surround the stove burner, creating a more controlled cooking environment. By blocking wind, it improves fuel efficiency, reduces cooking time, and helps maintain consistent flame performance in breezy conditions that are common when camping or backpacking.
