MSR XGK EX Multi-Fuel Stove

Jet Engine of a Stove

By Ranked #208 - Liquid Fuel Stoves February 26, 2010

I have used mine for years, and am always amazed. This things boils water like there is no tomorrow! As others have mentioned, this thing does not simmer, it is all out or nothing, having said that, I have not found this a problem, just plan to eat meals where you add hot water and that is it. People have mentioned that it is loud, it is, but I think it adds to the fun, what could be better then cooking your breakfast on a jet engine? I have used this in all sorts of conditions and it does not seem to care, from sea level up to 15,000', from 100F to -40F it does what it is meant to do, which is melt snow and boil water.
