Caldera Cone windshield systems are special in the way that the pan will rest with its rim on the top of the windshield. The windshield enclosed the pot to a maximum in this way. Also there is no pot holder. This setup improves the efficiency and wind resistance to a maximum. If you compare for example a Trangia system or similar style there is always a gap between the pan and windshield. Furthermore the windshield usually only covers the first centimetres of the bottom of the pan instead of the full height.
The universal windshield + pot holder has the great advantage that it can be used with all kinds of cups and small pans. When you want to fry a hamburger, sausage or vegetables etc. you will most likely use a frying pan which is usually lager in diameter. In this case you can use the pot stand and the alcohol burner without the windshield.
