Wind shield and stabilizer for VAR II gas canister stove
An important accessory of the stove is the wind shield, which is newly designed so that it can serve as a stabilizing support for the cartridge - stove system in the opposite position.
In practice, especially in windy weather, there is a considerable saving of fuel up to 25%! The wind shield really effectively protects the flame from wind gusts and the large reflective surface reflects all the heat of the combustion gases under the cooking pot.
Fitting and removal is very simple, the storage of the stove is preserved and the weight of the wind shield in terms of fuel savings is negligible. The wind shield is perfectly compatible with the three-piece cooking set known as an 'mess tin', so it takes up virtually no space in relation to the weight of the fuel saved.
The wind shield can be used with smaller pots from the camping kits we offer, such as Makalu, Everest, Al-inox, Titan kit - it is perfectly compatible with mess tin.
A great advantage is also the very easy "assembly and disassembly" of the wind shield, thus maintaining the storage of the stove itself.
Stabilizer or tripod function of the cartridge
In a very simple way, the cartridge with the stove is clamped on the opposite side of the wind shield, the resistance to tipping over is strengthened beyond words - whoever's cooked soup has tipped over into the grass in the moment before the desired consumption, knows what we are talking about.
Reliable clamping can only be achieved with VAR CGV 425 cartridges or other cartridges of the same diameter (110 mm).
