Reactor Hanging Kit: Stove Storage Guide

Quick Answer

The Reactor Hanging Kit lets you suspend your stove and cookware, keeping your cooking area organized and off the ground. Use it to store your Reactor stove system efficiently at basecamp or in the backcountry.

How to Use the Reactor Hanging Kit for Stove Storage

1. Attach the hanging kit to a sturdy overhead point: Find a tree branch, ridge line, or ceiling hook that can support the weight of your stove and cookware. Loop the kit's suspension cord over the anchor and secure it with a reliable knot (e.g., a taut-line hitch or bowline). Common mistake: using a weak or thin branch that may snap under load. Always test the anchor by pulling firmly before hanging your stove.
2. Place the Reactor stove into the hanging cradle: Open the hanging kit's cradle and set your Reactor stove inside. The cradle is shaped to hold the stove securely. Make sure the stove is centered and the cradle's straps are snug but not overtightened. Check that the stove is level and won't tip when you add cookware. An off-center stove can shift and spill contents.
3. Hang your cookware and accessories from the lower hooks: Use the lower attachment points on the kit to hang your pot, lid, and any small items like utensils or fuel canisters. Distribute weight evenly to keep the setup balanced. Avoid hanging heavy items on one side only. Uneven weight can cause the cradle to tilt, making it hard to access your stove.
4. Adjust the height for easy access: Pull the suspension cord to raise or lower the entire kit to a comfortable working height. You want the stove at waist or chest level so you can operate it without bending or reaching. Setting it too high makes it hard to light the stove or stir food. Too low, and it may drag on the ground or become a tripping hazard.
