does wind affect the quality of burn?

I've been using thick aluminium foil as a wind screen. It's no different than the pocket rocket and uses. I took it on a seven day trip thru the Smokies and it this little gem did great when it came to fuel consumption.

I camped at 12,000 feet in Colorado with wind and this unit is amazing and not impacted by the wind at all. Once you start it it will not be an issue. The only negative for this unit is that is slightly unstable as the base is so small. A larger pot you need to be careful not to tip over. But for the price and weight this is a great buy.

I believe so...it is not too heavy and the heat is protected so no concern with burning. We hang it from our Gazebo top. Hope this helps!

I have had no issues personally. I have a mowing business on the side and I have not burned at all.

Pretty good in my opinion. If it's to bad you can always use some foil as a wind break also

I have used this unit in very windy conditions with no problems. Once lite and the lid closed the fire and heat is maintained. As with any gas fired unit the fire maybe blown out when the lid is opened in high wind conditions.

the flame is not fully enclosed. We have only used the fryer once, and the wind was not an issue then, but if it was blowing very hard, it may become an issue and blow the flame out.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

Mine died awhile back but, as I recall, it does get rather hot. Perhaps not enuf to cause any burning but certainly enuf to be very warm.

I would not depend on the fire pit giving off enough heat when windy or below 60 degrees; get an infrared overhead propane heater to supplement the unit's heat for comfort. It does give off heat, but mostly it is "eye candy". We are very satisfied with the build, design & function of the unit - a very good buy for the price.

It depends on how windy it is. Regulating the flame regulates the heat for everyone's comfort.

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?

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

It burns pretty well, but that burn time is going to depend on wood type, air temp, ect....

We have had ours for 10 years and never had a problem with wind. If you are buying it for the applicable Weber grill model it should fit well and wind won't be a problem.

I usually don't use it with a wind over 15mph...but I just read that owners are using bungee cords to stabilize the reflectors and am going to try it, but am looking for a picture of a sun oven fixed with bungee cords. That would help an awful lot, as we have had a lot of wind this summer.

It gets very hot so I would not recommend that. I have never had a burn using the iron normally.

Take the grid off the burner, put some small pebbles in the dish - this will allow the pot or pan to be a lot closer to the flame = wind not so much of a problem.
