MSR Universal Canister Stand

The MSR Universal Canister Stand is a folding tripod made from stainless steel and ABS plastic that addresses a common problem with canister stoves — instability when a full canister tips on uneven ground. The tripod widens the canister's base and reduces the risk of a pot tipping over. A single-point spring-loaded clamp adapts to canisters of different diameters, so the stand works with both small and large canisters without needing adjustment or swapped parts. Once removed, it folds flat to 13.7 × 2.5 × 2 cm and weighs just 34 g, so it barely registers in pack weight or volume. It's a typical example of a small accessory that doesn't save weight on its own but improves safety and stability while cooking in the field — particularly useful on rocky, sloped, or otherwise uneven ground where an unsupported canister stove could easily tip over.
