MSR WhisperLite Stove
Great Stove for Extended Trips
By Chops
Ranked #686 - Stoves
February 16, 2005
I've used the MSR Whisperlite stove for years. It's an outstanding stove for extended backpacking trips. The stove weighs approx. 14 ounces (w/o fuel and canister weight) and doesn't take up much room in your pack. Since the stove is a liquid type stove it needs to be primed prior to use. Priming the stove causes a carbon buildup that needs to be cleaned before storage. The stove's pump is also made out of plastic which cracked after 5-6 years use. A replacement pump is available from MSR.
