A supporting device used to securely mount a selectively removable portable stove and a fuel tank to a planar supporting structure without the use of hand tools. The supporting device includes a flat rigid base to which is attached a strap fastener for securing the fuel tank, and one of several mounting assemblies, each of which being adapted to secure to the base one of several different types of stoves. Thermal insulation is located between the mounting assembly and the base so that heat generated from the stove does not reach either the base or the surrounding area.
