For surface stabilizer I use hear resistant rubber similar (i.e., thin soldering mat).
It keeps snow from melting around feet of stove, and probably lighter than brand-name stabilizer. I pack it on bottom of sleeping bag compartment to add puncture protection.
Just an observation, are you using your wind shield (shroud) as a surface stabilizer (?) for the pot ?, also, as mentioned earlier, you absolutely gotta' have the lid in place. A trick (not really much of a trick) is to dig a well into the snow (pot-deep) to
accentuate the efficacy of the alum. (heat-shield) shroud.
@summerdude600 Hey. I was just re-found this video and saw your comment. I've seen this happen quite a bit while camping and the problem is always the lack of a pot cover. Without a cover a lot of the heat escapes and any wind will just make matters worse. You can see this effect at home by boiling two pots of water next to each other, but the heat loss is even worse outdoors due to the wind.

you might want to cover your pot when you try to heat up water/snow. it'll go a lot faster with a cover.

Awesome -
can't wait for the ski-touring season to start.
I like snow shelters much better than tents in the wintertime.
You can make them diffrent every time .
More room for suprise guests, kitchen, bedrooms etc.
Snow trenches , caves, dig into a hill sideways(no heaping up of snow needed).
Endless possibilities - and compensation for added wintergear ,due to not needing a tent/stakes .
