Likewise with my Coleman gas bullet. Wind would blow the whole thing
over on its side before it would affect the pan or the foil. I can't even
remember how (exactly) the original pan was shaped, but my current
replacement pan has a rolled rim which I literally crimp the foil to all
the way around. I think I would rig some kind of wind break, if I had
to tolerate strong wind gusts
