"Solid Performer" - Review of MSR WhisperLite International Stove

I have had this stove for about 6 years and have no need to replace it yet. The only lacking feature is not being able to simmer easily. But then I only eat rehydrated food and coffee when hiking so don't need to simmer anyway. It boils water really fast. I have found that 100ml/person/day is about right for white gas. Don't be put off by the ignition process. Just let out enough fluid to soak the wick, no more. Then angle the stove so the flame directly heats the fuel tube and your good to go. I found it didn't work with diesel. Fits inside the MSR 1.5L pot.
