Comments about Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer:
Depending on where you are, this is a good product for normal use. I didn't have the fit issues that some other reviews discussed, and all-in-all, I have no complaints about the product. The fuel can stand works well on 100g and larger cans, and it's key to remember that any stove this top-heavy is going to be hard to balance without some creativity. The pot support worked well for me also, but I agree that you have to be careful when removing the larger pots so as not to get the Flux-ring stuck. Everything stores in the Jetboil cup as advertised, no issues there.

Comments about Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer:
The plastic base is quite effective in stabilizing the Jetboil system.
The metal pot support however is entirely another story. It does not attach to the burner solidly. The support simply slides over the edge of the burner ring. Whenever you lift the pot off the burner the flux ring tends to catch in the fold out supports and pulls the entire pot support off the burner. In my experience the support usually lands on top of the flaming burner and immediately gets red hot. If you do not have a pot holder or other item available you must knock the assembly off the burner and wait for it to cool down so you can replace it hoping not to burn yourself in the process. You must also turn off the stove to reattach the support to the burner. All of this while juggling your pot full of hot food.
Overall this is a very poor design. Simply adding a solid attachment clip and putting a 90 degree bend in the ends of the four supports would make this a much more functional accessory. Without this support the Jetboil pot is not usable with the complete system.

Comments about Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer:
Got this for the Jet Boil Java kit. Both pieces fit into the mug so, you don't loose parts to carry. The base really does work well and the adpter work great with the skillet, although if the skillet is empty it won't stay on because of the weight of the handle. I don't know if the pot has the same issue.

Comments about Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer:
The Jetboil system is rather tall, so the can support is a real help to stabilize it and keep it from tipping over. Use the can support even in Personal Cooking (PCS) mode. The flux ring support is necessary to use the Group Cooking (GCS) pot and the frypan. The pot supports fold out and fit between the heat fins on the flux ring of both the pot and pan. However, the fins tend to catch on the pot supports and since it just sets on top of the stove ring, the support tends to lift off while cooking. The system works well but takes some practice. Both pieces will store inside the PCS boiler for transport.

Comments about Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer:
I got this to go with the JetBoil system with the idea that it all fits in the cup.
The base is great. A little difficult to get off the fuel can but makes a stable stove.
The pot stand kind of works. It is difficult to pack in the cup and get out. You have to reach in and pull it out. The stand also is easily bent and broken if not handled with kid gloves. I question in the whole thing is worth it just because of the pot stand.

Comments about Jetboil Pot Support and Stabilizer:
Ok, there is good here too - the metal pot stabilizer works fine, though you only want to install it if you are using a pot other than the standard jetboil pot, and once you use it you have to wait for to cool down before switching back to the regular pot. The plastic canister stabilizer works very well too, but removing it from the larger size canisters is all but impossible. I have now broken two of these trying to get them off. Skip this "accessory" or you'll just have to carry it out of the backcountry. Not worth the trouble.
