DIY Scorch Buster | Stop Burning Food! 

AWESOME! JUST AWESOME! I used your idea to place my outdoor Sizzle-Q Grill on my gas kitchen stove! I worked like a charm the two can lids help prevent the hot spots from the burners on my grill allowing me to have an awesome grill on my stovetop! Thanks for the great idea! 👍🏻

Thanks Devon! I stopped your calzone video in the middle to go search for your scorch buster. Very cool! I'm going to go dig in the trash after I finish watching your calzones come to life. Thanks so much!!

I wonder if a guy were to mark where the three pot stand arms contact the diffuser then cut out the notches with a dremal so it sits locked on to the stove.

I am so glad I've found a youtube channel that likes to cook in the back country. In this regard, we are kindred spirits.

That's a awesome idea man. I have scorch problems as well, not so much with the jetboil minmo though but you still have to keep an eye on it.

Definitely going to try this, thanks!

Great idea Devin! Awesome work my friend!

It's also noteworthy that piece of can is rippled like some of the store bought scorch busters which say the rippling helps distribute the heat

I bet you can use a long rivit and sleeve it with metal tube to get the stand off for the pot. Just an idea to take a little weight off compared to the bolts.

I know this video is at least five years old, but I thought I would add this fact in case anybody is still watching: the warnings that come with the MSR pocket rocket say that using a diffuser can cause the gas canister to explode, in turn causing injury or death. It’s hard to imagine this happening. I’m guessing the risk is that the diffuser reflects back so much heat onto the canister that it overheats and expands the canister contents to the point of explosion. Anyone with useful/scientifically accurate information about this (or, heaven forbid, a relevant unfortunate experience) please comment.

Love the idea. However, I’d use rivets instead of nuts and screws. Less weight. Less things poking out.

Would you use a heat diffuser anytime you are baking in the backcountry? Does the fry-bake, because its heavy annondized aluminum, reduce the need for a diffuser?

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Can you use this with the JetBoil?

Awesome. I might try this with an old stainless steel plate.

I'm wondering if just a round piece of carbon felt placed between the stove top and bottom of the skillet would work?

new sub , and a great idea my friend billy joe

A paint can will work too! :) Awesome video!

This is by far the best, Great job on sharing this !! Do you think this would work with the MSR Pocket Rocket ?

good idea. why not eliminate the stand offs and use a hand brake to bend three points of the edge up to create stand offs? then you only have the lid weight.

Dig it Dev! This beats the one I built hands down!

Do you think this would work with an alcohol burner like a White Box stove?

is better if i use copper? how thin have to be?

This is by far the best !! Do you think this would work with the MSR Pocket Rocket ?

I had the msr one for my whisperlite. never thought of one with an adjustable stove. I'll find a can.

tell more about your frying pan, tpe of metal, size, wherd u get it etc. What do you use to hold it?

What a nifty hack! Did you come up with this on your own?

wouldn't it be more efficient to have some holes in it to let the heat/flames through?

How efficient is this? Does it take more time (and therefore gas) to boil water with the diffuser than without?

Sa weet!

Great little tip for stoves. Thanks. I sent you a PM message
