What do you reccomend? I have a couple of MSR bottles lying around so that seems to be an option. My budget is $150.
Coming from a mountian team I would want a stove that works well in winter in the mountians as well in the summer in the swamps of Florida.
I still have my old heat tab stove that will do in a pinch but I think I want to move up a step or two! 
Thanks for your input! |
I just replaced my old Whisperlite International with a new Whisperlite Dragonfly last winter.
It will also burn Coleman Fuel, unleaded, kerosene, or diesel.
It is not silent, but is a lot better than the old XGK my Team Sergeant had. Not a C-130 prop sound, more like an F-16 on afterburners.
It will boil a liter of water in less than four minutes with any of the above fuels, and will run for more than 2 hours straight on 20 ounces of fuel.
Also has a very sturdy base if you want to cook in something more substantial than a canteen cup.
Weighs less than a pound, empty. Good company (they want me to send in the old stove for repair), great service, outstanding products.
