I have seen several hacks to an HX pot to adapt it to a regular canister topped stove. Most of these have been to slot the base of the HX pot to allow the pot support arms to either contact the fins or to rest between the fins. This solution seemed a bit risky to me due to the pot support arms potentially getting entangled inside the pot/fins.
While surfing the web, I came across this pot that I had not seen before: the Fire Maple Steamer. The fins are exposed with no surrounding structure.
Rather than buy one, I hacked the shroud off; it wasn’t hard to do (I used a WideSea HX pot, and it cost about $20). FYI, removing the shroud knocked off 0.9 oz as well. The setup works great with pot support arms that are radial to the center of the pot (Soto Amicus & Pocket Rocket Original). The Pocket Rocket Deluxe & 2 are not radial and don’t fit. Neither does the BRS or Fire Maple 300. The pot support arms can be tweaked to match the radial fins (not the Pocket Rocket Deluxe or Soto WindMaster 4 Flex as the arms are too thick). This looks like a much safer way to mount an HX pot to a canister topped stove. My 2 cents.
