MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
Remove the White Pump Filter!

I took this on a weeklong backpacking trip but couldn't get a good flame at all. So after the trip was over I took it apart to figure out what was wrong. The problem: the silly white filter that MSR put at the bottom of the pump tube. I removed it and all of the problems went away. Now the stove is like the MSR WhisperLite we all know and love: reliable, lightweight, and hot. Remove the filter before your first trip and you'll be satisfied; leave it on, and you'll probably have the same problem I did.
