Awesome but don't bother with auto-igniter

By Ranked #370 - Canister Stoves May 30, 2007

I love this stove. It boils fast and has the fit and finish of a really bomb-proof piece of gear.
BUT, save yourself a little bit of money and don't get the model with the auto igniter. It's never lit using MSR's ISO fuel, which is the only fuel I've tried with the stove. It's an easy problem to fix (flick your bic or bring matches) but a disappointing waste of money.

agreed. i also do not have the auto-ignitor. it's just as easy, if not easier, to simply light with a lighter or matches and i can't imagine myself in the backcountry without at least one or both of those.
