Portable stove with folding stand

A stove and stand system, comprising:

• a stove body comprising an outer width, a cavity having an inner width, and a bottom portion;
• and
• a stand comprising:
• a central region;
• and
• a plurality of legs extending radially outward from the central region, each leg comprising:
• an inner link extending radially outward from the central region;
• and
• an outer link pivotably attached to the inner link and pivotable from a first position parallel with the inner link to a second position angled relative to the inner link,
• the stand having a first width when the outer links are in the first position and having a second width smaller than the first width when the outer links are in the second position, the first width being greater than the outer width of the stove body and the second width being smaller than the inner width of the cavity of the stove body,
• wherein the stove and stand are configured such that when the stove is on the stand:
• the bottom portion of the stove rests on at least one of the central region and the plurality of legs, and
• a standoff of each leg arrests the stove from moving laterally beyond a radial position.

• a stove body comprising an outer width, a cavity having an inner width, and a bottom portion;
• and
• a stand comprising:
• a central region;
• and
• a plurality of legs extending radially outward from the central region, each leg comprising:
• an inner link extending radially outward from the central region;
• and
• an outer link pivotably attached to the inner link and pivotable from a first position parallel with the inner link to a second position angled relative to the inner link,
• the stand having a first width when the outer links are in the first position and having a second width smaller than the first width when the outer links are in the second position, the stand being sized so that the central region is introducible into the cavity when in the second position,
• wherein the inner link and the outer link are structurally configured such that the outer link can pivot lower than the inner link but not higher than the inner link.

A portable stove, comprising:

• a stove body comprising an outer width, a cavity having an inner width, and a bottom portion,
• an outer surface comprising a single circumferential panel defining the outer width and having a plurality of rows of ventilation holes extending about a circumference of the stove body, the rows being disposed along a lower portion of the single circumferential panel of the outer surface;
• and
• an inner surface defining the inner width and forming a combustion chamber, the inner surface having a row of ventilation holes extending about an inner circumference of the stove body in an upper portion of the inner surface, the ventilation holes in the outer surface being in fluid communication with a) the ventilation holes in the inner surface through a vertical passage between the inner surface and the outer surface, and b) with the combustion chamber through a horizontal passage extending above the bottom portion.

A stand for elevating a portable stove above a surface, comprising:

• a central intersection;
• and
• a plurality of legs, wherein each leg comprises:
• an inner link extending radially outward from the central intersection;
• an outer link connected to the inner link by a hinge, the outer link movable to a position extending radially outward from the inner link;
• and
• a foot coupled to and extending transverse to the outer link, the foot comprising:
• a standoff extending transverse from the outer link in a first direction;
• and
• an interference arm extending transverse from the outer link in a second direction opposite the first direction,
• wherein when all of the outer links are in the position extending radially outward, a width of the stand is such that the stove fits between all of the interference arms, and such that the stove is arrested from motion in any radially outward direction.

• the stand having a first width when the outer links are in the first position and having a second width smaller than the first width when the outer links are in the second position, the first width being greater than the outer width of the stove body and the second width being smaller than the inner width of the cavity of the stove body,
• wherein the inner link and the outer link are structurally configured such that the outer link can rotate lower than the inner link but not higher than the inner link.
