Two comments: Be sure that the windscreen is positioned above the canister to prevent overheating of canister & potential explosion. Also, bear spray isn’t intended to be used for human attackers because the large amount and force of the spray in close quarters is very likely to cover you as well. It’s really intended to be used on charging bears at a distance of 25 ft., so by the time you realize a person is going to cause you harm, s/he is too close to use bear spray on. You really don’t even need it. Bears won’t be a problem as long as you practice good food handling/securing and separate your kitchen from your camp.
Give it some thought.

Thank you Ann 🙂 I like the idea of having dinner, and then camping a few hours later. That way all of the woodland creatures do not think you are making them dinner. I’ve had more conversations with raccoons than bears out there. I didn’t think about that for the wind guard, thank you.

There is a small hikers camp stove that recharges electronics while you cook. Might be worth looking into.

I just saw this again and saw a hiking review that the stove isn’t worth the effort. Sorry.
