The notches on the JetBoil pot support fit perfectly on any Windburner ring. I own both the direct connect burner (cartridge directly under the burner) and the Windburner with the remote connect burner/mesh hose connection, and it fits both rings. I've used it with a standard non-stick skillet with great success.

Give it a try, anyway. You may be surprised. I have used a MSR Reactor w/ folding canister stand and never have had a worry. It's stable and has good balance. Although, your MSR Windburner looks taller than the Reactor I feel you should cook up a meal at home to understand the design has incorporated balance using the intended pot(s).
Strong winds? Cook behind a rock, tree or tarp.

I bought the skillet for my Windburner and got the skillet and pot for it. Pot is good. Skillet was way too hot in the center. I had issue melting a spatula trying to make pancakes on it. I did get one of the things you can set on it so you can use a normal pan. Used it once but I was nervous and didn’t love it. I have it in my cook kit though in case I need it or have my other stove malfunction.


I bring two stoves and my other stove is a normal inexpensive stove. I mainly use that on the normal pots and a really high quality camping frying pan. I use my windburner with the. 1.8 liter insulated pot to pretty much boil water and make coffee. It’s super quick and efficient. I got the French press adapter for,it for coffee and it works great. I had debated while trying to sort out my cook kit if I’d made a mistake with the windburner but was really happy with what I had and how I used it this year.

Has anybody here found a good pot support for the MSR Windburner or had an experience with a Jetboil pot support on the MSR Windburner? I purchased one and it seems to lock on and fit, but I'm hesitant to try. I know they have heat exchange skillets and pots designed specifically for MSR - just wondering of other options. Thank you.
