Nope, I think it's quite clear that I'm refering to your assertion that wind improves performance is "simply fantastic", hence the warning. You may not think it so fantastic if you have a meltdown.
Oh, and this meltdown did not occur because it was “dry cooking". The stove was being used to cook porridge at the time. And it was windy.
You seem pretty stand-off-ish for an advice and discussion thread.... Nonetheless, it seems maybe you didn't actually read my full comment. Again: If the holes are not directed into the wind, then you end up with a back flow that causes melting - That is simply user error. I can't bad mouth a good product simply because plenty of people don't bother to read the directions.
