MSR WhisperLite Stove

Good, but get the Simmerlite

By Ranked #303 - Stoves June 2, 2003

I've only used this stove a few times since I got it, and I had used a friend's before on a limited basis. After using it a little more, I honestly wish I had gotten the SimmerLite instead. Because this stove only has one setting (high), it's easy to burn your food if you're not VERY attentive to it and constantly stirring, and even then I've burned a couple of things. So most of your food ends up a bit runny. But other than that it's an awesome stove. Very easy to light. It fits perfectly inside my convenient MSR pots. And it boils water pretty quickly when you have the foil wind insulators around it.
