MSR XGK EX Multi-Fuel Stove

Item #CAS0365 | 8 in Stock
3 Star Rating

xgk stove- as advertised?

By Ranked #353 - Stoves October 17, 2005

This is my third stove I've owned. A big reason I picked it was the simmer capability. The stove lights easily and puts out plenty of heat. Unfortunately, it sounds like a jet engine. It's very loud. Also, the simmer capability goes from extremely hot to quite hot. To simmer adequately, I would alternate between off and the lowest setting. Not quite what I had in mind.
