Trillium fits a bunch of old version MSR stoves, only tried it on a new Universal once but quit quickly as it was not my stove.

Do any of you Trillium users know if this will fit a Simmerlite?

I also have this base for my Dragonfly stove. It is really makes the stove stable. I like to store my things together also so good idea. I don’t see anything wrong with cutting it a bit to fit your gear. By cutting the base you will still have plenty of stove support. Use a cutoff wheel to cut and file off the sharp edges, then use a sander to smooth the edges.

I pack my pot's with cleaning gear and or salt/pepper/spices. The Trillium goes into the MSR stove bag packed as is.

My stove is probably 10 years old. It is not the universal for sure. Here is a pic of how I mount it.


What are the "wings" for? I am guessing they are for the dragonfly.

I am thinking about upgrading to the MSR 2.5L pot where I can put the stove, the base, and a couple of bowls all together in the pot. Not a lot of reviews on the MSR pot though.

Thanks, Bh! I was hoping you’d chime in with the answer!

Looks GREAT! I'm stealing this idea... :)

This mod was very easy. I used my Dremel with a cutoff wheel followed by fine-tuning with a bench grinder. The latter was not required for functionality...just made it pretty! Start to finish was about 30 minutes.

I have added the Trillium base to my stove and I love it. However, it does not fit (nesting) in my Evernew pot. I am thinking about cutting it as shown in this picture (cut along the red line). I do not use the hole that would be eliminated in this modification.

I like to nest my cookset in the pot and the base is the odd man out!

Thoughts?

the wings are for versions of the MSR XGK's or Whisperlites. Dragonfly wire loop base goes in the paired "oblong" holes under the tabs
