Who uses one for their stove? What make do you use? Store bought or
do you have a home-made one?

Windscreens For Stoves

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Windscreens For Stoves
I use a beat up MSR windscreen I've been lugging around for 13 years. I am interested in what everyone else is using too. I've been able to upgrade/lighten/improve my gear by following threads like this. Thanks in advance for any replies

Re: Windscreens For Stoves
I use a home made Caldera Clone windscreen for my alcohol stove. The cone is made out of 0.005" Ti foil which I ordered from TiGoat. I designed the windscreen to fit inside my 900ml Evernew wide Ti pot.
here's how the screen looks when it's in place around the pot and stove
and how it fits inside my pot (rolled up and tucked inside my stove)
Here's the pot sitting on top of the stove with the windscreen removed. The stove is a neat little Fancee Feest stove I got from Zelph Stoveworks.
The combination works really nice for me. Unfortunately now, with fire restrictions in place over most of the Sierra, I'm leaving the alcohol stove at home.

+1 on the beat-up years old MSR screen. I even use it around my canister stove (MSR Pocket Rocket. I know they say not to but I leave one side open so I can get to the control and the fuel canister always stays cool

+ 1 on the MSR screen with the Pocket Rocket, but usually I just prop up a couple pieces of granite or find a notch to cook in.

Re: Windscreens For Stoves
Haha... I too use a MSR windscreen for my stove (a venerable Whisperlite Int'l). 
Both stove and windscreen work perfectly for me = no need to upgrade.

Aluminum foil. Cheap, foldable, easy to make in different sizes and thicknesses, lightweight, and recycleable.
