hi warthog,
what sort of woodburning stove? the right type could work well with a meths burner but with the trangia its the enclosed sides that funnel all the heat past the sides of the pan which are important, the height above the burner varies. i dont know if you know the trangia design very well, the pans sit right inside the windshield about 50mm above the burner, but the frying pan sits on top and must be at least 100mm above the burner but the heat still gets to it fine, in fact my frying pan still has half of my thumb skin melted onto it

i guess 50mm would be a good start point, experiment with different heights before making anything permanent. i know lower than that starts sooting up the bottom of the pan and a good windshield is important meths blows all over the place
