Pot Stand-Windscreen

Step 3 Outline of Instructions

Outline of Instructions:
a) calculate needed aluminum flashing:
measure diameter of pot + 1/4" + 1/4" = pot stand diameter
pot stand diameter x 3.145 = pot stand circumference
pot stand circumference + width of angle (>1/2" or more) = aluminum flashing length
b) calculate optimum pot stand height depending on stove.
c) calculate windscreen height & cut
windscreen height to be equal or greater than pot stand height
windscreen height + 1/4" able to fit inside pot for packing
windscreen height must allow for pot handle (or needs a cut out)
d) cut aluminum angle (pot stand height)
file edges smooth or round
e) calculate pot leg location
pot stand circumference / 3 = distance between legs
f) drill holes for leg screws in flashing
use a nail and template to mark holes
drill holes in flashing at each leg location
g) drill holes in legs and attach to flashing
use a nail and template to mark holes
drill pilot hole using a smaller bit
drill hole for screws
h) complete assembly and test
i) determine final aluminum flashing length
remove one end of flashing from assembly
collapse flashing into a smaller diameter and insert inside pot
mark where flashing overlaps & cut
j) make binding post slots
use a nail and template to mark holes
drill holes in flashing
cut flashing to connect holes making a slot
k) reassemble and test
l) GO COOK SOMETHING! [smile]
