    The wife bought me a Taykit stove but was told that the windshield is missing. I've never seen one of these stoves before and it's usually a stove I wouldn't have bought (coil stove) but she was trying to find me something I don't have ..so...
    Anyone can take some dimensions?

    I'll post photos when I get it! Coming Monday!

    Somewhere one here IIRC is a detailed post with dimensions, I found it years ago when I needed to make one.

    @Majicwrench I ended up folding some brass sheet and got a very noticeable change in the way it burns... Way more consistent. I'll look and see if I can get some measurements by looking through the forum again but didn't have too much luck last time

    I made one out of some little tin unit much like you have shown above. Was not made to the OE dimensions.

    Now I'm wondering where my Taykit is......

    @Majicwrench made one like this...cut some triangle cuts into the sides to vent and hold together without needing to silbraze...
