ABSTRACT:
The invention is a very lightweight pad or base for use with a small portable stove such as those used by backpackers or mountaineers. It provides a stable bearing surface when the stove is used on unstable surfaces such as snow or sand. The pad comprises an exterior frame which completely encloses a spider-like structure on which the stove rests. Preferably two legs of the spider have upstanding cleats to engage the base of the stove. A third leg has an attached spring which also engages the stove base to bias it firmly against the cleats and hold the stove in place. These legs are preferably spaced about 120.degree. apart. The spider may contain additional legs to increase strength and bearing surface. Since the cleats are of very low profile the pad is essentially planar and takes up little space in a backpack.
