MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
Easy, light and steezy

Works well for cooking off a lot of different fuels. The modification is easy and can be done in low light with included tools.
You do need to be diligent and attentive when priming. It seems to go from empty to full instantly. It'll push gas out quickly and set you up for an inferno pretty quick if you miss that "happy medium."
The wind screen and foil reflector are splendid.
I found it adjust nicely but simmer flame was pretty hard to achieve.
It goes from boil fast to boil slow easily, but the avoid boil setting is tough to find.
Finally, it gets dirty as all get out with a dirty fuel. This is a consequence of a dirt fuel.... But just be ready for a mess.
