MSR Universal Canister Stand

I bought this canister stand as an alternative to the many plastic stands on the market. This stand is much stronger than the others while still being quite lightweight. If you want a stronger stand it is worth the price. The cheaper plastics stands will do but I like the peace of mind that comes with this stand.

The media could not be loaded. Much better than the cheap plastic bottle bases

I use my isobutane stove quite often when hiking, and camping. Sometimes I can easily find a level spot, and am good to go. Other times I would often resort to a stick or small rock to shim the stove level, which generally worked, but I felt was awkward.After looking at quite a few canister stands, I settled on the MSR Universal Stand. It fits the various canisters I have tried, and based on the flexible design, this really is not a surprise. The other stands I considered all appeared to only fit well for specific canister base diameters. I originally thought they were all the same size, but if the reviews I read were correct, they are not. So, for me the choice to avoid any doubts of the stand fitting a canister, the MSR was the easy choice.
