Why I like this stove.

I own both a Pocketrocket and Wisperlite International. Both are great and I use both, but both have their place. As for the Wisperlite, It just performs every time. Hot weather, cold weather, rainy weather, it just performs. You should practice a few times with the stove before you actually use it on the trail. The initial flame at priming and startup will take practice, but after a few times, you will have it down. The Pocketrocket works great and is VERY easy to use, no priming etc......unless you are faced with very cold weather and not so cold weather if the canister is about out of fuel. When I get ready for a weekend trip, and I have to try to decide which stove to take. I shake the gas canister and say to myself, Is the weather going to be bad? cold? Is there enough gas in this to make it? Hmmmmmm. Better not risk it. Wisperlite International.
