MSR Universal Canister Stand

I've now used this four or five times to get a brew on hillside and this is a great product. As you may know, MSR just don't make bad products and this is no exception, solid contruction, weighs almost nothing and is compatible with any brand and size of gas canister. It solidly grips the can and the extra stability it provides is priceless, this canister stand will also fold down and can be included in your cook kit. I keep mine in a tiny bag with my F1 stove and a firesteel. This is a fantastic product and I'd recommend it to any outdoorsman.

I've had a Primus plastic stand (c£5) for years. It finally broke and I got this. It's c 3 times the price of the Primus and about 100 times better. It's very ight, not that long (c13cms) and the two short arms have a good reach c(12cms). It's metal so it will last. Just make sure you keep the two rivets that pivot the arms rust free and you should get many years service from this. The longer arm has a sturdy, sprung, plastic grip on it (the black bit you can see in the picture). This is what sets it apart from the Primus and makes it a must have. It "grabs" a 110gm or 230grm or 500grm canister effortlessly and securely; the Primus is well fiddley on this aspect. Spend the money, get this and get a proper job!

Excellent quality and very reliable

This is good quality and does what it says, keeps your gas cylinder sturdy, never seen one before I would buy again but only when I loose this one.

I've upgraded to this from the plastic triangle stand that's available in most camping stores, the weight is about the same but this has a much wider base and so it's much more stable.If you camp, you'll know that it's a pain trying to balance a pot if the ground isn't perfectly level but this is easy to use and I've not had any issues with it leaning or tiling when you put your pot of water on.While it's more expensive than the plastic stands I've found it is easier to stow away in my camp pot setup and it feels much more robust.

Quite impressed with this, it grips the bottom edge of the gas cylinder very securely and makes it difficult to tip over.Initially I was concerned that if it was knocked very hard maybe the sharp "grips" could puncture the cylinder.. however was reassured after attaching it to an empty one and giving it a few kicks. Only the slightest mark was left on the cylinder, and as it begins to deform the flat edge makes contact. You would have to really stomp on it to risk bursting the cylinder! This is a very nice design, strong and lightweight.

Fits small cartridge really snugly. Expensive compared to the plastic ones, but just so much better. Packs down well, already an essential item for my backpacking rucksack -- will be nice not having to worry about the toppling towering inferno so much.

I bought a cheap plastic base because I was reticent to buy the MSR version. Big mistake - I broke the plastic one just getting it out of the packaging. In contrast, this is a nicely made, well designed product that’s light and folds up to a thin, light strip. It’s worth the money, so save yourself the hassle and get the real thing.
