Use your Jetboil burner with any pan: all about the Jetboil Pot Support

The Jetboil Pot Support is a smart and indispensable accessory for anyone who wants to get more out of their Jetboil stoves while cooking outdoors. While Jetboil systems are designed to accommodate the included Jetboil pot, the Pot Support opens the door to many more cooking possibilities . Think cooking with traditional pots, larger pots, or even a percolator for fresh coffee around the campfire.

In this article, you'll discover how the Jetboil Pot Support works, what its benefits are, and what you can use it for during your camping or hiking trip.


What is a Jetboil Pot Support?

The Pot Support is a compact, collapsible stand that easily fits over your Jetboil's burner. It creates a stable surface on which you can safely use traditional pots and kettles – ideal for adventurers who don't want to limit their culinary options to the standard Jetboil mug.


How do you use the Pot Support?

Installing the Pot Support is quick and easy:

  1. Place the pot support on the burner
    Open the legs of the support and click it onto the top of your Jetboil burner. It fits perfectly into the recesses of the burner.

  2. Check the stability
    Make sure the pot support is securely fastened and doesn't wobble. A stable base is essential for safe cooking.

  3. Place your pan or pot
    Now use a regular pan, small wok, saucepan, or other cooking vessel. Make sure it's properly balanced on the support.

⚠️ Please note: only use cookware suitable for open fires or gas burners.
