When they moved to Branford, we fixed their managers car. I told him it was hard to find good stuff with them now, they had turned into a boutique. He agreed but said it was hard to compete with on-line sales. Then they changed to 'Denali' and added a few stores and started carrying gear again...........now they are gone. Unfortunate.
I use a bit of Armor-all, or other silicone lubricant. Vaseline or other petroleum-based lubricants can affect the rubber o-ring in the stove. Better to use silicone or wax. I also keep my stove in a baggie to keep it clean, and use the cap that comes with the canister. Seems to me the things that are most likely to go wrong with good canister stoves would be caused by dirt.
Be careful when extending the pot supports on the BRS3000T stove. I'll try to do a video soon on how to extend them. Do not force the supports open against each other and do not use large diameter pots. Be sure to center pot onto supports.Max size pot should be 700ml capacity. The stove is awsome when used correctly. A 25 gram stove....whoda thunkit!
Also, be sure to purchase only from BRS on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/BRS-BRS-3000T.../dp/B06XNLSNFR
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM EBAY

Zelph: excellent input
Why wouldn’t the 1.6L Stowaway pot from MSR work on the BRS?
It's too large and heavy.
specs BackpackingLiquid Capacity (L) 1.6 litersLiquid Capacity (fl. oz.) 54.1 fluid ouncesDimensions 8.5 x 7.5 x 4 inchesCookware Material Stainless Steel Weight 19.5 ounces
The BRS is for ultralight kits.
Toaks Light series of pots are ideal.
GSI Halulite minimalist, .6L pot more appropriate?
Just a different opinion here regarding lubing canister threads, but I would caution against lubricating canister threads with anything. No stove manufacturer's manual that I've seen suggests that any thread lubrication is necessary. Oil, grease, wax, etc. are not just dirt magnets, which is bad enough, they can themselves contaminate and/or block the VERY small orifices (about 1/100th inch) in the stove valve/regulator, and could render the stove inoperable. And eventually, whatever substance is put on the threads gets forced up nearer those small passages in the internal valve assembly.
Yes, that's better. Make sure pot is centered and on a level surface.
Hold the stove upside down when extending the pot supports and hold upside down when retracting them. Place into small provided stuff sack right side up. Stuff sack will help keep stove threads clean.

I have a BRS 3000 but now that hiking partners all switched back to alcohol and complain about my noise it looks like I'm headed back to the intrepid Starlyte and ss screen stand.It's quiet,dependable,and you always know how much fuel you have left.
I have 6 BRS that I will be giving a maximum burn test to see if any of the pot supports will fail.....when I find the time ,-)
Used the 110g with the brs. It worked. It’s loud. But fast to boil 2 cups. Meh. Mood noise?
