    Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove with Piezo Igniter:

    I have had one of these since they first came out with the built in igniter - circa 2000.

    First bought it as a replacement for a white gas MSR that had given up after about 15 years of hard use.

    The convenience and safety of the butane gas vs. white gas more than compensate for the slight inconvenience of having to carry a nearly empty canister along with a full spare when you head out, but the weight of the total package is so light when compared to other stoves that it really doesn't matter very much. I have used it with various fuel blends and at various altitudes, all the way up to 14,000 feet through summer and winter. It has never broken down or failed, despite no maintenance other than an occasional cleaning over seven years.

    Lighting is super simple - open the gas valve, then click the igniter. The unit that I am currently using has a fully integrated igniter that does not appear to replaceable, this is a shame, as I think that ceramic post in the igniter unit may have broken - I have seen add-on igniter units now available, and would probably recommend that you purchase the unit without the igniter, and buy the bolt-on igniter, this way it could be easily replaced if necessary. I am still playing with mine, and may yet figure out a way to replace the igniter unit, will let you know.

    The big positive points of this unit are:

    1. Weight
    2. Flexibility with fuel canisters, there are a variety of fuel mixtures available that fit and work just fine. Some are better for low temperature or high altitude uses, check the specific brand of fuel for your needs.
    3. Efficiency - this stove will easily boil a liter or so water in just two-three minutes. You can get a lot of mileage out a single canister, I have gotten as many as four trips out of a single small one.

    There are down sides to this design.

    1. It sits fairly high when attached to the canister, so blocking wind sometimes requires creative solutions.

    2. The same height also causes the unit to be somewhat unstable, especially with larger pots. I tend to find a few flat rocks about the height of the canister and build a "kitchen" around the stove that braces the canister on all sides with the top of the stove sticking out. Works fine where you can find the right rocks, not so good if you can't of course!

    3. Heat control is tricky, this stove is pretty much all ON or OFF - you can tweak it a bit but simmering requires a very close watch.

    Overall, the durability, workmanship and reliability of this unit have been top notch. I tend to take pretty good care of my gear, but at the same time demand a lot out of it. This unit is ideal for light backpackers cooking for 1-2 people in 3-season conditions. You can use it in winter with the right fuel blend, providing that you keep the canister warm (i.e. in your coat or sleeping bag before use)

    Overall a great product that I have never regretted purchasing - a great basic stove for general backpacking use!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove with Piezo Igniter:

      This stove is so lightweight, that I took it as backup on a recent Canoe Camping trip on the Suwannee River in Florida. The Jetboil GCS was my "primary" stove. It's jets got badly clogged and I simply put the GCS pot on top of the MSR and it worked as well or better than the Jetboil. I may "jet"ison the Jetboil burner in the future and use the MSR with the Jetboil pot.

      Great backpacking stove

        Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove with Piezo Igniter:

        This is a great little stove! Super powerful, great temperature control, very light weight, definitely lives up to MSR's reputation of high quality gear.

        My only suggestion is that you skip the Piezo igniter option. My SuperFly has this function, and frankly, it very rarely works for me. I have tried bending it closer to and further from the ports, but with no consistent results. I have given up on it in fact, opting to light it with a match (which is very easy and works every time). I am not the only one to have this problem, either. I did not heed the advice of a friend who told me to avoid this feature, as it hadn't worked on his SuperFly, but alas, I was lured in by the promise of match-free lighting (though, come on, how hard is it to light a match?)

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove with Piezo Igniter:

          This lightweight stove is great for the backcountry...as long as it's not too cold or windy. It's helpful to rig your own windscreen. The igniter is finicky; it's probably better to save your money for a good lighter. With that said, this stove is so light and easy to use it's still my first choice for low key trips. I even had my first one stolen and bought another one!

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            I bought this because I wanted the convenience of a canister stove that could use a variety of manufacturer’s canisters.

            I had another stove but could never find the canisters to fit.
            This baby fits every canister I've tried. It has always lighted right always regardless of the temperature and altitude.

            Good temp control.

            Normal pot stability of a canister stove.

            Light as a paperclip.

              Love this stove. I would higly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new one.

              The canisters burn for a long time as well. They say 1.5 - 3 hours but I anticipate I burn them longer. The only downfall is the required flat surface to cook or it will be tippy.

                I took this stove out for the first time. The first night it was very windy and temperature about 50F. I made a windblock the best I could and it took about 30 minutes to boil 1 L of water. The second day it was warmer and no wind and it took about 7 minutes to boil 1/2 L. The third use, the fuel level was low, temperatures about 60, and it took about 15 minutes to boil 1/2 L. The fuel was the MSR canister of iso-pro mix.

                  I was sick and tired of dealing with white gas so I bought a primus stove. The only problem, I could never find fuel. So I bought this puppy and have always found fuel.
                  I hate to carry in a half empty butane canister so I use them up on day hikes and always carry in a full canister for a backpacking trip.
