Regular steel pan covers work well and might be easier to find/purchase. Heck, even fiberglass mesh works well for some. Here, I use unscented toilet paper for my covers and it works well. It is not perfect as on windy days it'll drive you crazy....its cheap too. Also, the latex pan covers work well. Others use old canvas cut up for their pan covers....lots of solutions...got to experiment to see what works best. Good luck.
