Great stove, though to simmer but with time you'll get it, just don't over pump it. You can pretty much burn anything with this stove, which is great when you are far away or just lazy about finding a camping store to get canisters. Be ultra careful if using it inside your tent, this thing is a torch and you are playing with liquid fuel. Have in mind this stove is a no-no for TSA agents, you must clean them really good before getting on a plane, and sometimes even if it is clean they'll just take it. Also some crazy lady from Aloha Airlines may think you are some kind of a terrorist(it happened).

You don't have to dismantle a firearm to transport it on a plane, simply declare it at the counter.

Just like a gun where you can bring it if it's dismantled, and the trigger assembly is stored separately from the rest, you can field strip an MSR stove and they will allow it on a plane.
