Backpacking stoves seems to be a good topic for the campfire!<br><br>I like your idea on bending the extended ends down (and in). The trick, although not too difficult, will be to make sure the hieght of each prong is the same so the pot sits level. <br><br>Perhaps I could start by making a loop of heavy gauge wire as a guide. Then wrap the prongs down and around the wire loop and then remove it once the wrap is complete. You could leave the loop in, which would add some rigidity, but I widen the screen to pack it on the outside of the pot. It's too tall to pack in the pot. Have you made your's shorter? Then the base, stove and support screen could fit inside the pot.
