For nearly two decades the award-winning MSR WhisperLite has remained the stove of choice for more backcountry experts than almost any other liquid fuel stove on the market. It features a simple and highly reliable design with a shaker jet self-cleaning valve for simplified maintenance. Over the years MSR refined their fuel pump with a simplified flame adjustment and a durable design. The stainless steel legs/pot supports fold down to fit easily inside most cooking pots. Liquid fuel stoves are an excellent choice for cooking in cold temperatures. Depending on altitude and temperatures, a twenty-ounce fuel bottle of MSR white gas will burn for a 136-minute average.
Bomb Proof Backcountry Stove @ a Competitive Price.
The MSR Whisperlite aided myself and two others through a 200 mile trek in the Bridger National Forest. Worked well in every condition thrown at us. It's efficient enough to provide hot breakfast and dinner to three for 10 days with the 30oz. fuel bottle. Rugged and simple design sets up and packs easily when crucial alpine daylight is burning. Altrec has got a sweet price on them especially with the free shipping. Saved at least $20.00.
good stove
I like the stove it is vary small and great to cook with
MSR sets the standards
Just bought stove number 2, I already own the whisperlite internationale but could not pass up the deal on this one. I hike and camp with the wife and kids so having 2 stoves is a welcome option.
Overall you cannot beat an msr stove, hands down!

Fantastic, same stove for 19 yrs, still works great
For those of you who find the wisperlight throttle a bit digital, you are probobly overpressurizing the fuel bottle, I have found as little as 3 pumps gives good temp control as wells as blazing heat, longer term cooking might require an extra pump or two as fuel pressure drops off, but for one or two I have not found it needed. All in all a true long term value for your pack.
Great Stove, Lots of heat
Cooked BIG pot (10 quart) of chili for camping program. Very hot, need to constantly stir and scrape bottom of pot. Small, light, easy to clean. Tricky to start sometimes, but one gets used to its quirks.
Mountain Safety Research: WhisperLite Stove
Well it finally happened my whisperLite stove kicked the bucket. I bought it in 1990 or 91 and never had a problem until the feed line formed a crack while camping last weekend. Funny it still cooked its last diner and breakfast shooting an orange flame out the side. My new one just arrived today hopefully I'll get another 15 years out of this one. They look identical I guess you don't fix what ain't broke is the motto hear.It is a little testy in heavy winds but I built a wind screen that I always use with it. Never failed to light, cook or blow out. Why can't they build tents to last this long?
Best Stove Ever
Not just the best but it has proven itself time and time again. Never once have i ever had a problem. i've gone on long trips with this thing and used a reasonable size bottle, the mid size, and didnt run out of fuel tell the last day, it was a 7 day adventure. Also its lightwieght and adapts well for those who want to put big pots on it, great for group hiking. Its one of the must have stoves i will encourage people to buy.
great stove can be testy to start
First the stove is great.
Only two items of concern...it takes a little practice to get the burner heated so that it cooks properly. A large flame that starts the stove must preheat the burner prior to cooking and may cause you to panic if you don't expect it and have not closed the fuel off just after lighting it.
Second small concern is the in ablity for the stove to simmer. Any food must be stirred/watched at all times or it will burn.
All in all a great stove.
Hint: I recommend 3oz of fuel/perday/person.
