ABSTRACT:
A campstove is provided with an adjustable grate legs for supporting a cooking utensil. The grate legs are movable between a compact, storage position and an extended position in which they provide a relatively stable support for a pan or a pot. The campstove includes a base, a fuel tube which extends upwardly from the base, and a burner mounted on the top of the fuel tube. A burner bowl is rotatably mounted on the fuel tube for rotation relative to the base. Each of the grate legs includes a bottom portion which is rotatably mounted in the base, an intermediate portion which extends below the burner bowl away from the axis of rotation of the leg, and a top portion which extends above the bowl toward the axis of rotation. Abutments on the burner bowl are engageable with each of the legs for rotating the legs when the burner bowl is rotated relative to the base. Rotation of the burner bowl in one direction moves the legs to an extended position in which the top portions are positioned relatively far from the burner, and rotation of the burner bowl in the other direction moves the legs to a retracted position in which the top portions are positioned relatively close to the burner.
