| In my mind, the Whisperlite is the best stove around. I have had it for years and it has been remarkably reliable. Be careful if using internationally though. The manual says that it will work with any fuel. We tried it with Kerosene in the Andes last year and it was miserable.
MSR tried to improve it with a carburator that would allow easier simiring. A friend has it (I forget what they call the new model) and he really doesn't like it. He still wishes he had his reliable Whisperlite (which was stolen by some slimey French mountaineers from inside his pack, inside a tent at a base camp in the Andes). Enjoy it. |
