We recommend the use of a stand.  The stove must be supported in a way to allow
at least 8” of clearance below to accommodate the isobutane fuel cartridges.
The stand raises the stove to a comfortable cooking height and provides
room for the fuel canisters.   Some users have used the stove with logs or
rocks positioned at each end to raise the stove off the ground and provide
clearance for the fuel canister to hang below.
