Mountain Safety Research WindPro Backpacking Stove

Mountain Safety Research WindPro Backpacking Stove

Widely considered the best remote-canister stove, the MSR WindPro is a favorite of many seasoned backpackers and climbers. Although white gas stoves with remote fuel bottles remain popular, more and more campers are catching-on to the advantages of isopropane canister fuel. The WindPro is designed for use with isopropane, which is attractive to campers because it doesn't require priming and provides heat output similar to white gas. And working in tandem with this camping stove, isopropane fuel offers precise flame adjustment. The stove itself is the lightest remote-canister stove on the market, weighing just 6.8 ounces. The WindPro is the only remote-canister stove sold with a windscreen and heat reflector and wind tests show that it performs better than the competition's remote-canister offerings. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister brings approximately 15 liters of water to a boil from a starting temperature of 21 C.

• Wind resistant: Tested better than all remote-canister competitors
• Compact: Fits in a 1-liter MSR pot
• Wide flame output ideal for larger cookware
• Full flame control from simmer to boil
• MSR IsoPro fuel boil time for 1 liter of 21 C water at sea level: 4.25 min.
• One 8-oz. MSR IsoPro fuel canister brings 15 liters of 21 C water to a boil at sea level
• MSR IsoPro fuel canisters sold separately
• Minimum weight (stove only): 6.8 oz. (193 g.)
• Packaged weight: 10.5 oz. (297 g.)

not for cold climes
In tempatures about freezing, the performance dropped off considerably. Most of my hiking in and around the Sierra's seem to include cold mornings and evenings when I needed the most from my camp stove. In temps above 40 this stove was good.

Small weight, size and ease of use.
I purchased this stove due to the small weight, size and ease of use. It requires much less hassle than a liquid stove. The only problem is no indicator for the fuel level for the canisters.

The best cannister stove out there, and a great stove all around
There are not negatives. No priming, just instant flame. The only one in its category with the windscreen, it boils more quickly than rated. I do predict that this stove will go a long way toward making liquid fuel stoves obsolete save for extreme conditions.
