Easy DIY Trangia Pot Stand

Published on 03/05/2016: This is a tutorial on how to build an easy and effective pot stand for the Trangia stove. It may not be the best, but it could hold you over until your manufactured stand comes in. It might be my forever stand. We'll see. I don't take credit for its design.

For best results the base of the pot needs to be 1inch to 1.5inches from the top of the stove - see palio hiker for his exhaustive testing of this gap.

So simple and effective, I think this is the best idea I have seen yet. Well presented too :)

Just finished making mine and must say thanks for posting as it is a great little addition

[@WhiteOak26]

My pleasure! More to come

[@davidpayne1161]

What a great idea I made this tonight and used it works great thanks mate.

[@KdawgCrazyOutdoors]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks brother. Looks like you have a good distance from the pot to the jets as well to get a good burn.

[@geneo3654]

Liked your idea, made one out of stainless steel wire and it works great glad I watched your video !! Does'nt get easier then this Thanks !!

[@jamesthornton3339]

Have you thought of using a stainless steel BBQ skewer from the dollar store? May be more durable than a wire hanger.

Great, just made one in about 10 minutes. I have the small brass "cold weather" attachment for the bottom of my Trangia and made mine fit over that when packed away. It also just happens to snap nicely on the Pathfinder bottle cap which I also have whenever I use my stove.

Very clever. Thank you for sharing this!

Hi WO26, I went to Menards and bought a 3/16" brass rod for a little more stability, but it came in a 3' length. Could you give me a length dimension? It looks like your was spot on, and I can use a hanger as reference, but cutting to length makes sense. After searching, your design (or borrowed) still looks the best. Fits best, and packs best.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Nice. Great tutorial. I am definitely going to make one or more.

[@gild484]

Great idea, now I am trying to figure out how to use this to stabilize my Fancy food can alcohol stove. Thanks for the post.

[@mrwes100]

Great for simmering, and very light.

[@timpeterson7821]

I used your video to make one, came out decent. Thank you

[@earlelzy7243]

I like it a lot. It's compact and cheap, with fewer moving parts.

[@piapelzer1144]

Super! That is a easy and light stand!😊😊😊

[@donaldsaunders3059]

Great design thank you 👍

[@Semeion7]

OMG! Perfect! Thanks!

[@pedroclaro7822]

That's awesome! light and works well enough and can be made in 10 minutes! could do a design where you have 4 legs (easier than 3) that stab into the ground around you trangia, and that hold your pot up. If you're going light then make it fit around the burner, if you dont mind 10 more grams them make it sort of cup your pot of choice, and you can make it as tall as you'd like. It takes more strength and bending because you'll need to make sort of an X with two coat hanger wires for the pot to sit on, and then bend the legs downward from there.

This is great. Thanks!

[@terryoneill9163]

brilliant idea cheers

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

there is an optimized pot height which you need to be aware of.

[@conneolvera2886]

Thank you so much.

[@denismorton1269]

Great idea

[@terryshrives8322]

I like it because it still works with the simer ring

[@robertchilders4031]

Well done. I appreciate the ideas. Well presented information, too.

[@Gollammeister]

Is it not possible to get a stainless mesh screen to fit regular trangia stands to stand ur pot on

[@goatslayerwp]

Well done.

[@antsara9218]

good stuff man:)

[@paz-bird]

does that setup fit in your Stanley cup?

[@Louis-kp7pz]

fantastic

[@WhiteOak26]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@salrussano1]

a sink drainer fits right in the hole of the stove cost about a buck.

[@mrwes100]

...and you can use the simmer ring with that setup - sink drainer?

[@jasondovydaitis4762]

I was almost done aaaannnd i snapped my hanger

[@richrock8960]

Too wigle waggly imo. I make pot stands from construction flag wire and pieces of either copper tubing I scrounge from the job site or brake line that I have a god bit of. They are foldable and very sturdy, even on rocky or uneven ground.

[@WhiteOak26]

Thank Richard! it was definitely wiggly but it got me by for a while until could replace it. i’ve been pairing it up with the firebox nano now. Thanks for the comment and time
