Why We Like The MSR Universal Canister Stand
To keep our meals from tipping into the dirt, we add the MSR Universal Canister Stand to our backpacking cook kit. Ultralight and foldable, this stand hides discretely in our solo pot and adds less than 2 ounces to our load. The strong stainless-steel construction won't rust in wet conditions or bend under pressure in our pack, while the spring-loaded fit system hugs our fuel canister tightly, promising a stable base as we cook up our dinner.

We love this addition to
We love this addition to our camping gear! We found that boiling water on uneven ground without it tough and always worried that the pot would tip over. Once we purchased this, it changed everything! We never go backpacking without it! It’s worth the additional weight!

Great addition to canister stove.
Mandatory for anyone wanting to use the canister directly on the ground. It is light and sturdy, unless you’re going ultralight, this has to be part of your kit.

Folds down thin, is very safe and stable in use
I like that this canister stand is made of durable metal, yet is still light weight. It functions universally for large and small canisters with a wide footprint for superb stability. It's so easy to knock a stove down, but not with the Universal Canister Stand. Add this to your kit for peace of mind.

Great stove stand.
Great light pot stand. Durable, lightweight & very very stable on most surfaces. Adds a lot of stability to the pocket rocket stove, especially with wider pots or uneven ground. Highly recommended.

A must have; should come with stove TBH
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Stands like this are a necessity for camp stoves. A real travesty they're not included with stoves themselves. This one from MSR works great and prevents heart-breaking food-prep accidents while in use. Its design keeps the canister really close to the ground while giving it a significantly larger foot print for stability so whatever's on it rock-stable.
