    Try this "fix". Totally reversible if it doesn't work or you don't like it:


    Tighten up slack legs:

    I have on occasion "tightened up" the leg fit in stove sockets by using small metal shims.
    I just cut some small rectangles of thin brass sheet, or even aluminium from empty beer cans.

    I insert these at the back of the socket, where they slot in and locate against the tank side.
    I find these can make a big difference to the stability of slack legs on veteran collapsible stoves.
    Give it a try!

    Regards,
    Kerophile.

    When I got my Manaslu 96 from Basecamp a few years back, the pot stands seemed wobbly in their sockets to me. I used foil and a couple of other things, and they were still wobbly.
    Then I checked and the pot stands in many of my old stoves were wobblier than I had remembered.
    When I put pans on Manaslu, they didn't wobble.
    Everything worked and I quit thinking about it.
