Mountain Safety Research WhisperLite Stove

Mountain Safety Research WhisperLite Stove

Twenty years later and the MSR WhisperLite Stove is still a favorite of backcountry hikers, skiers, campers and climbers the world over. This liquid fuel stove has an extremely reliable design with a Shaker Jet self-cleaning valve for simple field maintenance. It may be heavier than ultralight canister stoves out there, but nothing cranks like a whisper light and theres a certain pride that shows in the eyes of those adventurers that have the priming routine mastered. The WhisperLite comes with a windscreen, a heat shield, a small parts kit and a stuff sack. It folds up and bends to fit inside a cook pot, taking up a small amount of space in your pack. Choose which size fuel bottle fits your needs (sold separately) and make sure to carry it outside you pack to avoid leaks. Whether youre replacing your old model that got confiscated by airport security or youre a newbie looking for a tried and true stove for some winter camping, theres nothing like the power of a WhisperLite when it comes to melting snow or boiling water in a jiffy.

Works great!
Very nice stove. Works well and boils water fast! Very efficient on fuel too. The legs could be a little easier to use but they work.

Packs nicely
This stove is very easy to use, ignite and cook on. You can avoid the initial flare up by using Heet to prime it! Otherwise, it is light weight and the 22oz white gas canister I use, easily lasts through a week of cooking. From what I have read, I can expect this stove to last a long time due to it's extreme durability.

Fine stove, lights easily and burns hot but quietly.
Altrec went out of their way to get me this stove in time for my trip. Thanks for the great customer service.
