Hanging stove setups?

How have people modified your Jetboil or similar stove for a big wall wall hanging stove?

I have a few ideas of my own but I'd like to see what people are using.

Below is a photo from the Instagram of Kevin DeWeese. Posting a photo would be great. Thanks!

This doesn't seem to be a modification at all, but rather simply using the hanging kit that Jetboil sells. I've used the jet boil hanging kit myself and it works fine. 

Yea- that is a standard JetBoil hanging system.. (that’s me in the picture)

I actually don’t love it.. it’s a bit clumsy to install, use and pack..the wires are easy to tangle.. 

I also find it hangs too low.. 

after this picture was taken I switched to just holding the stove as it boiled water. I only use it to rehydrate one dinner and make instant coffee.. so very little time actually using it..

I played with a DIY version using thin cord. The cord could be run under the neoprene sleeve, but would probably need to be taped in place.. this would obviously hang the stove by the pot instead of the burner.. positives and negatives to that I suppose.. 

Cheap and easy solution. Hose clamp from any hardware store.

I did the same with zip ties…haven’t melted yet!

Smart!

Wouldn't be a Jetboil advertisement  if the gear was modded. 

I built a hanging stove using my MSR Superfly, a cheap aluminum pot, and some 1mm steel cables. It was basically a DIY version of a Bibler hanging stove (which I used as a model).

If I did it again, I'd probably use a hole saw on a drill press. It turned out a little janky using an ordinary drill bit and and a cordless drill. I'd also get a proper swager and swages, rather than using vice grips and some soft aluminum ferrules.

I do as above with the hose clamp but use an old g string off my bass guitar.

Aka cable for the non musicians

Yeah that's what I was thinking of, something like that. Thanks for the photo!

How did you hold it?
Wasn't there a risk of spilling boiling water on your laps etc.?

There is always that risk either a Jetboil, especially if you're boiling a full litre for coffee. 

Watch carefully, set your watch alarm, don't get distracted - it hurts. 

I've not used it on a wall but have used jetboil extensively in winter.  I hold it carefully in my lap between my legs with hands cupped around the canister.  The body heat improves performance significantly and helps prevent ice-ups.  Propane ice-ups in high humidity below freezing has been a big problem in my experience. (storm bound)

Tip:  Never multi-task while using a Jetboil.  They are too fast.

I've used a similar setup to Nathanael for years, on walls and alpine climbs. The only thing I'm doing differently is using a ski strap instead of the hose clamp.

The Markhill Stormy was hands down best design ever at the time, still would be, with the addition of modern heat exchanger like on the Jetboils.

YES!  Still have Markhill stormy. Was expensive

 Before that, I read an article for hanging stove for alpine climbing and made one. I took a 3 quart sauce pan, removed handle drilled hole in bottom center to screw my Bluet stove. drilled holes in sides for venting and made hanging harness with 1/16" steel cable and swaged sleeves. made heat exchanger tube with copper pipe flattened and drilled to mount to stove burner and bent to run down along gas canister and built an insulator sleeve out of neoprene and 1/2" foam. 

Now you can just buy a Jet Boil. Or make a hanging platform to support your stove. 

I built my own too. 2mm chord, tiny carabiners, and 2 taught line hitches.

What a great idea!  How did you ever come up with it? 

I’m not a fan of the hose clamp method.   As a mechanic I’ve cut my hand way to many times from a hose clamp tail to ever pack one on a wall.  
I use a stainless steel zip tie.
anyone who wants one can hit me up and I’ll send you one.

I never heard of them.
Do you need any tool to lock/crimp them?
