I bought this product but i am not sure if i can buy only Pimus cartridge for it or any fuel cartridge will do,

The EN417 canister specification and Lindal self-sealing valve are a standard adopted by manufacturers throughout the world. Because the Lindal valve is an industry standard, theoretically every brand of screw-threaded canister fuel must work on any brand of screw-threaded stove. There are legal registration requirements in each country to ensure compatibility with the standard. The basic problems are: 1) one manufacturer has no control over the quality control of another manufacturer's stove or fuel canisters, and 2) no manufacturer wants to accept any responsibility for another manufacturer's products. Especially with fuel canisters, which are a potential bomb in a worst-case scenario, company lawyers are averse to liability. So their position and message is that there are small differences (depth and height, manufacturing tolerances) in the threaded fittings on different brands of stoves and canisters. Consequently, to be on the safe side, every stove manufacturer strongly recommends using only their canisters on their stove. Some manufacturers go a step further with strong warnings such as: "Use of other gas cartridges can be dangerous." Obviously they want to avoid liability, but they also want to sell their own brand of fuel canisters. So what to do? Many backpackers have used different canisters on their stove for years without problems, and most of us do so when our brand is not available. A little experimentation quickly determines which canisters work on your stove and which ones do not. The usual indicator of canister incompatibility is no (or very low) gas pressure when you open the valve. This can sometimes be overcome by tightening the connection a little more (but be very careful not to overdo it!).

Description says it has "built in windscreen." Does it??

The fins on the burner are the “built in windscreen.”

Is it OK to use in the yard in case of power outage? Will you need the foot rest / stand even for small pots?

Yes, you can use it in the yard. I just used in the kitchen the other day during a power outage. I only had it on for 8 to 10 minutes to get a pot of water boiling.
