I use this in a pit on the carport and it gets quite breezy at times. It actually does quite well. The flame stays lit and blows and dances like a wood flame.

I've only used them indoors in my fireplace. And they heat up the room nicely with no Cleanup! Outside, they might not do as well in the wind without some kind of metal backdrop to protect from the wind. (Just guessing)

we use inside a chimnia - as with any fire itis affected by wind - the small can and its flame will not withstand a strong breeze just like with inexpensive can of sterno - buy one of those and test in your environment

There is not a lot of metal protecting the flame from wind. I have had to figure the direction of the wind, and place the cooker behind a building, blocking same on gusty days.

There is a little metal piece inside the warmer. You simply bend the metal piece until you hear a click. When the gel has been activated by the click, you will see yhe gel change to a more solid like substance and it will begin to warm

It is better than most in a light wind, gusting winds will flip it but normal light breezes it is fine.

I wouldn't call it a windscreen :) I will say, since I literally brewed with it today in Baltimore, that the wind had no effect on it. But I will also say I had aluminum foil wrapped around the burner. The tight flames create by this burner makes wind a non issue if you ask me and if it's what you are worried about.

This grill works well in windy conditions. Here in Houston the spring season is pretty windy. We have cooked in winds of steady 25mph. This is a great grill , in my opinion. reliable, easy to clean, and when you learn how to adjust the temps for your favorite foods, you will be more than pleased with It. We are pleased with ours...

The two top elements can ocilate from the base or they can just blow in a set direction. They ocilate together but you can offset the two so as to have a wider 'wind' zone. Hope that helps.

The Calico has a short, hot flame somewhat like a mini blowtorch. Doubt if it would ever blow out in the wind.

I live two blocks in from the water in a high wind, high humidity, high temperature location. Mine is out in the elements in an uncovered seting area. So far so good but I have only had it outside for one season.

The flame is enclosed, but like all propane burners position relative to the wind is important

It has a small wind release. Very small. Not really noticeable. Doesn't do much to help with wind.

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.

I've used mine once, so far. While there was a breeze, I was fine, but it did become overly warm under there. Still better than a sunburn.

Could it be a problem with wind? Also a possibility is the igniter needs to be adjusted a bit. Will it light with a match?

Put a brick or a couple of rocks inside to weight it down if it gets windy. The rocks will also help absorb and radiate heat.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.
