This is a tall high pressure cooker that comes with a full wind screen to guard against bothersome gusts. The windscreen helps the burner to maintain a consistent blue flame regardless of the wind conditions. While not really intended to heat larger cookers, it might be possible to do so without compromising the contents of the pot. Ideally, this cooker was designed to handle smaller containers for cooking things like French fries and various kinds of soups and stews.
