1. A portable, collapsible holder for a cooking container, the holder being releasably connectable to a fuel container having a neck and a top rim, comprising:
- a collar having an opening therethrough forming an inward facing surface configured to rotatably engage the neck during use of the holder, the opening having a longitudinal axis;
several panels each rotatably connected to the collar with an offset hinge, each panel rotating between a first collapsed position in which the panels are generally parallel to a top surface of the collar and a second position in which the panels are in a deployed position with the panels rotated at an angle of 105 to 155 degrees outward from the top surface of the collar; and
a rotation stop on at least one of the panel and collar to limit the motion of each of the several panels beyond the deployed position.

Abstract
A portable, collapsible holder for a cooking container has a threaded collar that screws onto the neck of a chafing dish fuel container. Three panels are each rotatably connected to the collar with an offset hinge. The panels rotate between a first collapsed position in which the panels contact a top surface of the collar and a second position in which the panels are in a deployed position at an angle of about 105 to 155 degrees outward from the top surface. Rotation stops on the panel and collar limit the rotation.

14. A portable stove kit, comprising:
-
a container of ethanol, methanol or glycol based fuel, the container having a neck extending from a top surface of the container, the neck defining an opening for access to the fuel for burning, the container having a top rim connected to the top surface; a collar having an opening extending through the collar and configured to rotatably engage the neck of the container during use; several panels each rotatably connected to the collar with an offset hinge, each panel rotating between a first collapsed position in which the panels are generally parallel to a top surface of the collar and a second position in which the panels are in a deployed position with the panels rotated at an obtuse angle of 105 to 155 degrees outward from the top surface of the collar, the collar and panels configured so at least one of the collar and panels can rest against the top rim when the panels are in the second, deployed position during use; a rotation stop on at least one of the collar and each panel to limit rotation beyond the deployed position of each of the several panels. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
