This design for a pot stand is, I believe, a new one. The size of a credit card and extremely stable with my 5.5" pot, it allows the whole soda can stove, fuel etc, etc to be packed into the pot easily.
The stand is fabricated from wire coat hanger and a little aluminium for the hinge. In my case I have used a little bit of flashing but heavy duty oven liners from Safeway work just fine too (also for the windscreen). I would rather use bicycle spokes for the stand but my bike can't spare them at the moment. Note: Costco (US) oven liners are a little thicker/stronger than Safeway oven liners. At least, they are where I live.
If you already use a heat reflector under your stove then you are half way there. The reflector becomes a part of the pot stand, adding rigidity.
Dimensions:
Reflector radius - 2.5"
Pot stand radius - 2.25"
Height - 3"
Foot size - 1"
Hinge - 1" with 0.25" overlap (bent) to hold hinge on.
If you use a simmer ring and/or snuffer, then the hinge needs to be a little shorter than my choice of 1", or the stand needs to be a little higher.
I hope this helps.
