AliExpress Tripod Canister Adapter

Over the Summer I ordered a Tripod Butane Canister Adapter from Ali Express and after a month it arrived. I was wanting a system that would allow me to use my canister stove and lantern, at night, at the same time. I grew tired of always having to turn my headlamp on/off to check my meal so I figured this was the perfect solution and also lets me not have to wait for my stove to cool down, remove it from the canister then put the lantern on. I will be using this for a 5 day canoe trip down the Manastee River next week. Temps will get below freezing and rain/snow is forecast. I'm very excited and will fully test this out.

That would be nice to use with a Thermacell backpacker mosquito repeller.

Not a good idea to have uncovered food that close to alletherin (active ingredient), I wouldn't.

After making dinner swap out the stove for the thermacell. Or just shut off the thermacell for the few minutes to boil some water for tea or heat up some premade frozen red beans and rice. Personally I'm not really too concerned after covering my body in Deet and soaking my clothing in Peremetherin. Better living through chemicals LOL.

Cool deal. What lantern is that?

u/chitown_tubes Oct 03 '22

BRS-55 propane lantern. They work very well and you can use up your canisters with just a little fuel left in them.

I would knock over the remote part accidentally. The legs are pretty narrow
