I use the SMS Windbreak all the time now. Great little product. $25 plus postage from SMS. I have seen them in some camping shops.

Have a look here - http://www.aussiecampovenforum.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1313290319

Same thing being used

Thanks Dave and Derek.
I had been looking at eBay listings in China and USA, have decided to buy one from SMS.
Will check the camping shops in Griffith NSW today and if I dont find one will order direct from the SMS website.
Many thanks.

Could not find in the Griffith camping shops although one had SMS products, so placed an order direct for mail to me in Griffith NSW.
Not cheap but I dont mind that for Aussie products.
However I did find a Biji-Barbi in two camping shops.............tempting!

The AUSSIE WINDBREAK arrived from SMS late today.
Quick dispatch!
Is bigger and heavier than expected.
Good the way you can make two shapes.
Needs some oil in the slots for ease of assembly, will fix that tomorrow.
Glad I did not buy cheap Chinese! Wink

Just need a decent bag to keep it in, so that is the next project. Sure is busy being retired!
Downside is, I did go back to buy the large Biji-Barbi Grin
