Ranked #2 - Liquid Fuel Stoves
December 11, 2007
This is one the stoves I've been using for winter activities since 2003. It is as reliable as the sun rising every morning. It is hot, lightweight, has multi-fuel capabilities, & now with the new MSR fuel pump, simmers even better. Also WhisperLite is appropriate for the name. It's almost as quiet as a canister stove. (As it is with all stoves, remember to burn/field test & check all rubber O-rings prior to leaving on your trip!)
