I have used my White Box stove in adverse conditions and had no complaints. For windy conditions I dig a small hole to fit the stove and windscreen which just gets around my kettle.

Admittedly I wrapped a kevlar wick around the stove. I drip some of the alcohol onto it and light that which acts as a primer to ignite the main stove. It's much easier than trying to light the fumes directly inside the stove.
