Has anyone rigged a hanging system for the XGK? Might be tricky because of the remote fuel, but I'm hoping some clever person has figured it out. I used a Jet Boil PCS with a jury rigged hanger and it turns out to be habit forming.

Hanging a liquid fuel stove is a risky endeavor. For one, the idea of hanging the stove and fuel bottle make things tricky. The other issue is lighting the stove and making sure the hanging system is long enough so nothing is caught on fire. I would HIGHLY discourage trying this in a vestibule of a tent. Hanging it outside could be possible, but the rigging needed to do so might be to complicated and weighty. That is why Cascade Designs (parent company of MSR) has not developed one and most likely will never do so. The only idea I've heard of is using a license plate rigged so it hangs (tying a braided cable into the four corners) and then the stove itself (really any liquid, satellite-type stove) can be placed on top of it. I would also recommend securing the stove onto the license plate somehow (i.e. metal clasp or metal tie like a piece of cable or wire secured to the fuel line and stove). Hanging the stove itself is too risky and complicated to make it a viable option in the backcountry in my opinion.
