I have been playing around with roll-up wood stoves for several years but was never really satisfied with the results. My main issues were legs and pot supports.
I think in this latest project I have finally come up with a roll-up stove that will serve my needs.
These first two images show the legs, which are 10-24 stainless machine screws that attach to the stove front and back via T-Nuts which are rivited into the flanges. I borrowed from David (Huskyrunner) in the use of MSR Alpine plates for the front and back. The legs go through holes in the stove body which is .004 stainless shim stock.
The front legs are angled toward the back and vise-a-versa so they are very stable.
I prefered the MSR over the Snow Peak Ti plated due to the slightly bigger diameter and the larger flange even though the titanium would save about 4 ounces.
The door is 20 gauge stainless for more ridgity and is hinged on the bottom with a stainless hinge.
The stove connects with 1/16" stainless aircraft cable swaged to single hook end springs.
Pot supports are stainless tubing that the cable passes through and is swaged in place.
The pot supports are tapered to allow various diameter pots to be used. The following images show an MSR Titan Kettla and a Mont-Bell 20 oz cup.

The draft holes are backed with stainless mesh - spark screen material to prevent sparks from shooting out the front of the stove.

I went with a collar that has a flat spark screen placed in it at assembly and then has a slot with a slide control damper plate. In my experience a slide damper is more adjustable and fool proof.

The stove dimensions are 7.5" x 12" and it weighs 1 pound 6 ounces without pipe or 1 pound 15 ounces with a 50" pipe.
The stove body rolls up and the roll-up pipe slides inside the rolled stove body.

It still needs a burn test, but I have no doubt it will do very well.
