Mine is the older version. I still have the original jet cleaning needle thingie in it's slot.
I agree that the key on the chain is a pain. I considered pitching the chain, but I just live with it
I use a craft foil screen if there is much breeze in addition to the one that the stove comes with, but take care to not allow it to overheat the stove. I used to just improvise some kind of wind break, but found the craft foil was worth a tiny bit of extra weight and bulk.
