The MSR WindPro™ II backpacking stove maintains the efficiency and versatility of the original WindPro while adding the ability to burn inverted fuel canisters for cold-weather performance.
- Easy to operate—no priming, pre-heating or pressurizing is necessary; attach an isobutane-propane canister and start cooking (canister not included)
- Includes a stand for inverting isobutane-propane canisters for better cold weather performance and more consistent output over the life of each canister
- At only 6.6 oz., the WindPro II is the lightest remote canister stove on the market
- Wide burner head evenly distributes the flame for scorch-free cooking
- Includes windscreen and heat reflector for increased operating performance; windscreen is designed to accommodate cookware up to 10 in. in diameter
- 3 legs/pot supports fan out to form a stable 6 in. cooking surface; folds for compact storage
- Flame is easily adjusted from a steady simmer to a full boil; long fuel line keeps control valve well away from the flame
- MSR WindPro II stove is totally field maintainable; every stove part is designed to be taken apart and easily replaced in the field
- Weight includes stove, not the canister
- Due to flammable item shipping restrictions, we cannot sell fuel canisters online; they are available at REI retail stores
Please note: MSR products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
We use this stove for car camping. It fits inside our REI medium camping pots with room to spare, but not enough for a medium size fuel can as well. Temperature control is awesome. I have only had minor trouble with wind so far, and using the included windscreen fixed all problems. I originally bought this to replace a 2 burner camp stove and I wish I had done this sooner. It has more power and better heat control than my old stove. I have used it for boiling water, omelettes, scrambled eggs, gravy, biscuits, mac & cheese, etc. If it was a little smaller it would be great for backpacking. I will take this stove backpacking if there are several people in the group, but if alone I would take a water boiling stove only.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
This is a great stove. No muss, no fuss. No messing with fuel. Works great all the time, good waether, bad wet weather, high altitude, hiking, hot, cold. Lightweight but durable. Don't ever want to mess with white gas or even propane stoves again.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
Boils water in a jiffy especially with titanium. Does have the ability to simmer, but in an exposed place on a windy day it is tough - the windscreen is light, but not too effective in the wind. Its like cooking with a miniature jet engine in the inverted position, does make some noise but much improved boil time. You really need a flat spot, preferably a rock, to keep it stable while cooking. Cooking in an uneven spot on a windy day is tough. Skeptical about the bag it comes with, the stove seems pretty solid but I got a small, lightweight plastic box to keep the windscreen and reflective pad from getting bent out of shape. One small container of fuel lasts about half and hour using inverted about half the time on a hot Honolulu day a few hundred feet above sea level. Overall, for my uses its great considering it's weight and boil time and probably pretty good for most folks desiring those two qualities in the back country. Will update review after a stretch on the PCT this summer.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
This stove is great for backpacking and hiking and cold weather camping. Our backpacking crews used this at Philmont and for all of our High Adventure training. Easy to light, lightweight, collapses well to take up very little space, windshield is useful, though the edges can be sharp. The fuel works great in all weather, especially in higher altitudes and colder weather (used twice during snowy weekends so far this year).

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
I recently bought this stove but have only taken it out one time so far- on an overnight trip on the approach trail to Springer Mountain in north Ga. I have the micro rocket stove as well and I'd say the Wind pro is better if you are trying to 'cook' things as the flame output is a bit wider than the micro rocket and more stable with a pot/pan on top of it. The temp control was excellent as well and I could keep a low flame/heat output with no problem as I fried some eggs and bacon.
If you want to boil water, it cranks up and does the job in no time too so no worries there. I like the versatility of being able to do both with ease.
I'm very happy with my purchase.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
I have found this stove to be a wonderful all-round stove. I think nothing of tossing it and a small kettle in my daypack for brewing up tea. It also goes along on winter expeditions when cold weather cancels out my other cartridge stoves. by simply inverting the cannister, with the included stand, I can boil away at below-freezing temps.
A windscreen is a must, and so it a heat reflector if you cook on delicate surfaces. It will fit onto MSR's Trillium stove base.
The only downside is that it gulps fuel when the cannister is inverted. But, given that you're only using the canister inverted WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO, it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, I find this stove to be very efficient.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
I selected this stove to bridge the gap between a servicible backpacking stove (light weight) and something suited to Moto and group camping where I'd want more control, stability, and user friendliness than is available from a canister-mount model.
The best part of the stove is its usability. The remote canister design allows me to use a windscreen & base reflector (thoughtfully included), which makes it much more efficient. It's stable, and I can adjust the flame while wearing gloves with no problem.
It packs reasonably well: After folding up the legs, I put mine into my tupperware bowl. It won't fit into as many places as a canister-top mini-stove, but it's servicible... & the price you pay for big-pot stability.
Even during inverted use (liquid flow mode) it still gave me great flame control, and I like being able to coax that last little bit of fuel from the canister.
It does a lot, with only a small compromise in weight. The added cold weather, high altitude performance makes those couple of ounces easier to bear.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
I just finished my first fuel canister with this stove. I have used it car camping to make macaroni and cheese and while backpacking on the AT making coffee and dehydrated food. In both situations this has been a great stove. It heats fast and is very stable.

Comments about MSR WindPro II Backpacking Stove:
I have been using this stove since 3/12. It has worked flawlessly in temp from 10F to in the 90s. MSR or Snowpeak fuel is a must in cold temperatures. Coleman fuel will not work below 35F, OK at warmer temps. Stove simmers like a dream. This is the perfect stove for those who like to do more than just boil water. I like to fix dumplings and pan cooked biscuits. The only thing I did not like about this stove was the price,but you get what you pay for. I had an MSR WhisperLite before, and it was OK as long as you only want to boil water, and setting the forest floor on fire isn't a problem for you. the stove fuel line developed a leak and MSR said it would cost me $20 to fix. WhisperLite is a pain to light in cold weather. WP2 in much better!
