MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
(whisper) Lite it up

Ranked #127 - Liquid Fuel Stoves
December 28, 2010
I can't begin to tell you how many times this stove has saved my trips. I've never run into any problems with this little guy. It burns hot, quiet, and on anything that's flammable. I've run white gas, aviation fuel, jet fuel, and standard 87-octane through my stove and it performs flawlessly. Burn time and BTU output vary with the different fuels, but knowing that you can boil water, cook a meal, or warm frozen digits makes this a moot point. The shaker jet cleaning needle is straightforward and efficient. My only complaint is that the flame control leaves something to be desired; it's either off or on. No in-betweens. If you're looking for a stove that's easy to use, efficient, and will last, do yourself a favor and pick this bad-boy up.
