MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove

Item #CAS0743 | 31 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good, light stove

By Backcountry.com Employee June 11, 2007

I have used this stove with Coleman Fuel only so far.
Good points:
It boils water quicker than I expected, even at 2000m altitude.
It is very light and packs inside a pot easily.
Not so good points:
It is difficult to set a good flow for simmering without the flame going out.
You have to explain to your camp-mates how to use it, even if they say they know how. You can get pretty big flames if you don't prime it right.
