    Thanks, if you wish more accurate measurements just ask. Mention which base. As i said, i used the actual stoves for most of my references. Also, metric is possible.

    Hi Thomas, Just come upon your post about the stove board, amazing , Could you possibly share the measurements for a Whisperlite? I will give it a try myself.

    Vielen Dank / Thank you very much Thomas
    Any experience with the boards in hard packed snow? I have had some problems with boards slidding off easliy due to the slick surface. The cutout in the version you build may help. Thanks again!

    Cookeez, The version I built, as you put it, is simply me trying to replicate what UCO produced and no longer manufactures.
    I am adding pictures with a ruler so you can see (both metric and imperial measurement) and then plan your construction based on those measurements. I hope this helps.
    In the last two photos you can see the stove attachment mechanisms. I simply cut and bent an old copper serving tray to make these.
    This was a fun project for me. I wish you all the bet in your build! Post pics!

    Oh, I forgot to mention, I have not used this in snow yet, so cannot say how it works that way. However, I have seen Shug (youtuber) use his (UCO model) in snow and it seems fine.
