Finally found a good wind shield for my KAB6 burner. The last 3 batches of beer used up 10-12 lbs of propane and took just as long to heat as my old SQ14 burner. Yesterday I made a barley wine. I heated 15 gallons of water from 100F to 170F, and did a 90 minute boil. I only used 7 lbs of propane using an adjustable cake ring as a wind screen. It can be adjusted from 6.5" to 12.75" making it easy to fit between the legs of the stand and expand to cover the burner. The metal turned darker, and was glowing red hot, but didn't melt.
I bought mine from http://www.pastrychef.com/ADJUSTABLE-CAKE-RING_p_1185.html
Here is a picture taken after it was used:
