Is it true you have more control over the flame if you don't over pressure the bottle( i.e . not exceding 10 pumps max every ten minutes)?

Yes, but it also won't go as hot, so things will take longer.----------------There are several ways to simmer with the Whisperlite Stoves. The new pump has made it easier, but also reducing the amount of pressure in the stove also makes it possible to cook more gourmet meals. Some folks who have used their Whisperlite Stove for many years have gotten very adept at simmering with it. It's a skill that many are proud of and have worked at. It's really a wonderful stove once you understand it's nuances. It's one that will last for many years and be as reliable as any piece of gear you've owned.
