MSR SimmerLite Stove

Item #CAS0371 | 10 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Lite - yes, but Simmer??

By Ranked #329 - Stoves July 8, 2006

First thing is, I love this stove for its blowtorch heat, light weight, and compactness. I've used it now for three years in all seasons, including this 4th of July weekend at 12,000ft backpacking the CDT. But, I can't get it to simmer other than by dumping all of the pressure off the bottle. And even then it’s not that good of a simmer flame. I'm going to try the Dragonfly for my next all-round stove.
