How often do you encounter a level picnic table while out camping? Or even your own folding table you might set up for a cook surface?
If you are like me, I have often sourced various leveling devices from nature found around my site. Pieces of wood, flat stones, etc. Nothing ideal for sure.
I have several camp stoves. For one, I carry a leveling frame made out of light gauge angle iron. It has 4 adjustable feet.
For a vehicle that I have to really be frugal about anything that uses up storage space. I decided to just add screw in/out leveling feet to the stove I keep stowed in the vehicle.
I have the luxury of a Rivnut crimp tool. So that made my idea a simple one.
From Home Depot, I purchased a pack of 4 furniture leveling feet. The package didn’t state it, but the threads were 1/4×20. I had Rivnuts on hand that matched that thread. Then some washers out of one of my scrap parts bin.
I removed the white plastic insert nuts on the 4 Furniture leveling feet.
I drilled 4 holes in the bottom of the stove. A hole as tight as possible for the Rivnut to just slip through.
I screwed the Rivnut onto the crimp tool, slipped on the washer, inserted the Rivnut from the bottom into the drilled hole, then crimped the Rivnut.
After removing the tool, it was as simple as threading in the furniture leveling foot.
