Adjustable Feet on Primus Firehole 100 Camp Stove for <$5

If you have ever cooked eggs on a two burner camp stove, you know how nice it is to have a nice level cooking surface. This is often more difficult than you think as seemingly flat surfaces, like this log bench I made, are not actually entirely level. Having adjustable feet on your camp stove is a nice feature and means you don't have to use rocks, wood chips, etc to try and level your stove or cooking surface. This Instructable will show you how to convert the existing feet on your Primus Firehole 100 stove to adjustable feet, for <$5.

Step 1: Buy Your Supplies

you will need:

4x M6 x30mm hex bolts (fully threaded shaft)
4x M6 hex nuts
some loctite to secure the nuts

should run you $3 to $4 depending on how/where you buy them.

Note that I purchased some M6 locking nuts to try, but the torque required to tighten them causes them to slip in the rubber foot socket. You can mess around with this if you like, but I just went with regular hex nuts and used some loctite.

Also note that I didn't use a washer but you probably could do that as well if you like for an additional... $.50 probably.

Step 2: Simply Re-use the Existing Feet

So for some reason, Primus chose to use an M6 phillips/flat button top bolt to secure the feet, even though the feet have a cut out to accept M6 bolt heads...I assume you have to buy the more expensive model to get the $3 in hardware required to make these feet adjustable...
