MSR  WhisperLite International Stove

The whisper light international is by far the gold standard of backcountry guides, trip leaders, those wanting extreme reliability in cold weather or unreliable fuel sources. This is a lifetime purchase. You will not be disappointed.

I've had my whisper light for decades, that old saying "an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure" is a fact! Spend ten minutes to clean after ten or so hours of use and no worries, no hassle. You can cook slow, simmer a stew or stir fry some potatoes in a pan without burning anything. My favorite accessory is the foldable aluminum wind guard. It holds the heat in and keeps the flame nice and strong. I buy the replacement o rings and plunger each year to stay on the safe side.

bought this stove a little while ago because I was not wanting to take my 2 burner propane stove. this stove starts easily and burns hot. simmering takes some practice but this stove is amazing. we cooked whole meals on this and it done great with regular pump gas. highly recommend.

great lightweight camp stove, needed to replace my Coleman/Peak 1 stove and this was a great replacement

BUY THIS STOVE. The Wisperlite is the best stove on the market for cooking in the outdoors. This stove is the do-it-all stove that you can use on backcountry trips and fully trust in its reliability. I've had my Whisperlite for over 20 years (!) and I've used it 100+ times. Unlike the jetboil style stoves, this uses white gas, which is cheap and you can refill the canister, thus reducing the waste of the one-time-use tanks. I see people buying a box of the one-time-use canisters for their jetboils and shake my head. Buy a Whisperlite! You'll save money in the long-run. This stove is the best option is you are actually cooking--it sits steady on the ground and you can put pots and pans on it. I use it for cooking trout in the backcountry. I can't do that on one of the jetboil-style stoves. This also works great for a car camping stove. When I'm car camping I put it on a picnic table and fire it up to cook steak dinners and breakfast. I even put my cast iron pan on it and it works great. You can also use white gas in below zero temps without any issue. You can't go wrong with the Whisperlite.
