If you have ever watched your boiling water or freeze-dried dinner tip over into the dirt because your backpacking stove was top-heavy, you know exactly why this little gadget is essential.
I love this particular jetboil accessory so much that I bought an extra to use with my backpacking stove. Some of the reviews on here say it isn't compatible with other canisters, but I can say for certain that it DOES fit onto msr fuel canisters as well as the jetboil fuel canisters. I used it for a week at Philmont on an msr canister with no issues. This little tool is lightweight and really helps on uneven ground.
This is very lightweight and performs well with both size canisters. Snaps in well and releases fairly easily. One thing I do like about it is when I put it in the bottom of my Toaks pot it helps prevent it from rattling
The plastic stand from my Stash kit broke on its very first adventure as I was taking the canister off it! Planning to replace it with the MSR metal stand but it's quite expensive... Considering the brand's reputation, I would have expected the stand to be at least somewhat durable? Disappointing to say the least, I think the company should replace it for free...
Packs down small enough that it sits on top of my fuel canister while in my Soto cookset when packed down
Doesn’t fit on other brands of isopropyl/butane gas canisters. Also, used a jet boil branded gas canister and it was very difficult to attach a 220 gm canister.
Fits in the bottom of my titanium pot. The top of a 100-gram fuel canister fits in the center, upside down, preventing metal-to-metal contact. Once set up, it keeps the stove from tipping. I'm pleased with this purchase.
It fits way to tight onto any can. So tight that it broke when I tried to take it off. It's more of an inconvenience than it is useful for how much time I spent putting it on and taking it off or breaking it off I should say.
I wanted to be able to use my isopropane stove in the back of my car but was concerned about the stove tipping, this little gadget solved the problem very effectively!
