For backpacking, I got an awesome little water boiling stove: an MSR Reactor system. This is like the JetBoil: an integrated system with a 1.0 liter pot with heat sink fins on the bottom that fits directly on top of a catalytic burner. Lousy for simmering a bernaise sauce, but the bomb for boiling water (1.5 minutes), especially in the wind.
I figured, why not use this for car camping, since I am always boiling 16 ounces of water to make coffee. The only problem is that these backpacking stoves are so tipsy.
So, I came up an idea for a project. Take the cool little Snow Peak aluminum table, drill a hole in it, and put the stove through the table so it can't tip over!
The 1.5 inch hole is small enough that the table is still useful by itself, but also turns the MSR reactor into an ultra-stable water boiling machine for car camping. The table is light enough (11 ounces) to maybe even make it into a backpacking kit.
