I bought a roll of aluminum roof flashing from Home Depot and cut a
windscreen from that.  It's perhaps slightly more heavy-duty than absolutely
necessary but it has a springiness that helps it hug the pot and not get
blown around.

That's assuming an alcohol stove, of course.  I think canister stoves are a
bit more tricky to screen because you need to be careful not to let the
canister overheat.
