I've stuffed two piezo's on the Kovea that way, using "Al flashing-type" homemade windshields. Upright gas stoves are next to useless without a windshield. Recently I've been using a commercial folding shield (Coleman). This seems to suit tall canister-top stoves well; just the right height and arc length (only reaches 3/4 of the way round, max). But ... ridiculously expensive (~$30), heavy (but robust), and doesn't have Roger's canister -top reflector. I wonder how important that is, provided the arc length is kept well short of full circle?
