UL fuel efficient cook system

[Eastman528]

Why not just cook inside, under the vestibule or whatever but, the whole wind issue is very easy to eliminate and I don’t really see any downside risks to it. I’ve never even considered cooking outside, unless it’s a perfect evening or something, and I just wanna be out there cooking.

Hard to cook inside a bivy sack but yes, I do when possible/necessary more so in the late season when it gets dark out early but then I usually pack my Jetboil Zip or use the wood stove and don't pack a stove cuz I am not in a hurry and its less to pack.
To be more specific even when I have a tent/tarp I am often heating water up at a glassing point in the wind breakfast/coffee in the morning or dinner particularly during early season I have found for me personally I would rather eat while glassing then after dark when I am bedded down, I am weird but I sleep better and I am sitting there anyways. If I am on the go then that's different.
This is why gear is so subjective, depends so much on personal preferences and hunting style which can change by the hunt. I am assuming based on your location your situation is completely different so that makes sense you wouldn't be doing that much.
I will say depending on shelter that little BRS is so sensitive you even notice it in a floorless trekking pole type shelter in the wind like a silex etc. but ya its never been a deal breaker. I have managed a 10 day high country mule deer hunt doing breakfast, coffee and dinner on one 100g fuel canister but that was pushing it.

question,
has anyone applied the carbon felt & vet wrap suppressor cover concept to cook pots as an alternative to coozies?
My initial concern would be bits of carbon fiber in my food, but aside from that any thoughts?

edit - ordered some. I will make a cover of some sort, test, and report back.
