Leveling device for portable stove

A combination, comprising:

• a leveling device and a portable stove placed on top of the leveling device;
• the leveling device comprising
• a substantially straight spine component having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end;
• a plurality of arms coupled to the spine component, the plurality of arms comprising a first arm pivotally coupled to the first end of the spine component, a second arm pivotally coupled to the first end of the spine component, a third arm pivotally coupled to the second end of the spine component, and a fourth arm pivotally coupled to the second end of the spine component, each of the plurality of arms having a proximal end coupled to the spine component and a free distal end;
• a plurality of leveling members, each of the plurality of leveling members coupled to the free distal end of one of the plurality of arms, each of the plurality of leveling members is independently adjustable such that the portable stove is configured to be substantially level with respect to an underlying surface,
• wherein the spine component comprises a substantially straight, elongated, monolithic first spine member and a substantially straight, elongated monolithic second spine member adjustably connected to the first spine member,
• each of the first and second spine members contains an upper surface, a lower surface, and apertures extending through the upper and lower surfaces;
• and
• a tab containing a first set of apertures on a first side of the tab and a second set of apertures on a second side of the tab, the first set of apertures matching the apertures of the first spine member and the second set of apertures matching the apertures of the second spine members,
• the tab connecting the first and second spine members in an adjacent parallel relationship by fastening the first set of apertures of the tab to the apertures of the first spine member and the second set of apertures of the tab to the apertures on the second spine member.
