I think any camping stove is useless without a windscreen. The big old Coleman style with the fold-out sides work fine, but all of the cool new designs that fold up will take forever to boil something in even a moderate wind.
My old "Scorpion" backpack stove has a nice windscreen/reflector, as does the Jetboil series. I'm thinking about changing to a Jetboil for car camping, as we get a lot of unpredictable wind out in the desert.
Anyone else have a suggestion?

Are you cooking or just boiling water? A pepsi can stove is fine for boiling and you can get fuel just about anywhere. I used to use a sterno stand for a pot holder/windscreen.
Cheap fun and American made. I assume or whatever your country of origin...
