    Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove:

    Previous reviews sum it up. However, here's a fix for a frozen/stuck valve due to cold temps: While on the SHR last month at 25F, the control valve froze shut leaving me to enjoy balance bars for breakfast again. So, after dinner that night after I unscrewed the cannister I turned the control valve to the open position and stored the stove in this manner. The next morning, with match ready, I screwed the cannister on and lit her up real quick. Worked like a charm. I did this the next 19 mornings out of need. I imagine the manufacturer does not condone this, nor does REI, but, hey, it worked fine. Another PRO: my 8 oz cannister lasted 20 days boiling 1.5 liters of water daily at an avg. of 10k ft of altitude.

    Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove:

    I have 6 different stoves and this is my favorite!

    It only weights 4 ounces.

    The fuel attachment part is universal and accepts most any brand of fuel canister.

    I'm not a gourmet cook and typically just boil water but I have also used this with my bakepacker with no issues.

    Best for solo backpacker looking to travel light.

    Only downside – it is a little unstable and you have to make sure it is level.

    This little stove is amazing. I will buy one every time the one I have breaks. I have had it a long time, and it still shows no wear, it's incredible. It has great fuel saving power, and it cooks food exceptionally. I will always use this piece of equipment. Because this type of fuel is hard to start in cold weather, I just put it in my sleeping bad at night, and you ready to go!!! Enjoy!!!

    Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove:

    The pot supports are sharp and have put holes in every bag I have put them in. I finally ended up just grinding them down and that helped, plus didn't effect how the pots sit. It fires up instantly, keeps a good flame, and simmers well. Make sure you have it on a solid, flat base and don't use a tall, slender pot or you may end up with your water or meal on the ground. I've had close to a dozen stoves over the years and this is the easiest one to use and the fastest one to boil water that I have ever used. I have not found it to work all that well at cold temps and high altitude (mid 30's over 8000') despite what the ads say.

    Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove:

    I'll be honest, I was concerned about a cartridge stove at altitude and could not find a lot of advice before a mountaineering trip to Rainier. I brought it anyway, and I'm glad I did. We had three different stoves on the trip and of the three this one boiled fastest and was just as efficient (though using fuel faster at altitude). Melting snow and cooking while being light weight were what this this was made for.

    Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove:

    This is a great canister stove, especially for the beginner. Unlike others, this one attaches to any can that has a lip (most brands). It sets up quick and easy, and has great temperature control, just like all cannister stoves. Just like other cannister stoves, though, you quickly end up with a box of nearly empty fuel cans you don't know what to do with.

    Any cannister stove that sits on top of the gas can will be more unstable. They won't work as well in cold weather unless you warm it up first (try putting it in your sleeping bag or under your fleece).

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comes with a nice pouch, boils water fast. The 2 metal pieces that support the pot or pan slide together to further compact the unit.

          Comments about MSR SuperFly Stove:

          I love this stove. Some reviewers have found it to be unstable, I have not. But I can see how some fuel canisters might cause it to be unstable. If you are using the tall, bottle-type, then yes, this could be risky. I have had no difficulty using the round, short canisters.

          This stove boils fast, the temperature is easily adjusted, and it cools quickly for fast clean-up. And it is super light! I have used it primarily for backpacking and up to 10,000 ft, and for up to four people...not a problem yet. Great value!
