MSR LowDown Remote Stove Adapter

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

An upgrade for your canister stove, the LowDown remote stove adapter adds stability and versatility to your backcountry or frontcountry camp cooking system.

MSR says:

The LowDown Remote Stove Adapter is an upgrade for your canister stove or stove system, allowing it to do more than you ever thought possible. It can turn your tiny, ultralight stove into a group cooking pro or transform a tall stove system into a non-tippy coffee machine on your camp table. The foldout legs create a wide, super stable base that significantly lowers your stove height, providing increased stability on uneven ground or when cooking around young campers. It also allows stoves of nearly any size to support larger pots and pans with ease, whether for gourmet meals or cooking for large groups (PocketRocket, meet a 2.5L pot). The LowDown’s remote valve and fuel line move the flame control away from the stove and pot, making cooking adjustments easier and more secure (no sticking your hand under a full, boiling pot). And it folds up nice and compact for easy stowing whether you’re backpacking with friends or base camping with the family.

Our Verdict

MSR’s LowDown Remote Stove Adapter increases the versatility of your lightweight canister top stove. It’s a great idea because you can now boil a big heavy pot and do it safely with the added stability that this device brings. They’ve kept the weight down so you could even take this backpacking if you find yourself going with a couple of other people and you want to boil water for everyone on one stove. Genius.
