MSR Windboiler Pot Stand

I like using my MSR windboiler with its attached pot but I also wanted the option of using a wider pot or pan. Unfortunately MSR don't currently make a pot stand for their windboiler stove but Jetboil (a different company) do make a stand that almost perfectly fits. I felt that the diameter of the opening on the stand was too narrow and would block too much of the flame so I used a mini cutting tool to widen the opening. I'm happy with the result as it gives me the option of using other cooking gear with the wind boiler stove.

The diameter of the opening blocks about 1cm of the burner flame all around.

Grinding

Some grinding was necessary to tidy up the cut edge.

The pot stand works perfectly to support a pot or pan. A quick test boiled 500 ml of water in about 4 minutes. The pot may be a little high from the flame if using in a windy or exposed location and that may reduce efficiency but at least the burner won't overheat.
