Although the Brunton stove stand will allow you to invert the canister you can get sever flareups if your stove does not have a preheat tube to vaporize the fuel before it gets to be burner.

Stoves like the MSR WindPro and Primus ExpressSpider have preheating tubes or you can fabricate your own heat exchanger to try and vaporize the fuel before it hits the burner.

You should start with the canister upright to light the stove so that you are not feeding liquid fuel to the cold stove and then invert the canister once the stove is going.

Lots of discussion and some examples of home made preheating solutions on this thread.
