Today I did some testing with the MSR WindPro Backpacking Canister Fuel Stove. I have had the stove for a couple months but this was actually the first time I used it. I just wanted to give it a quick test to see how easy it was to set up, how quick it was with boiling water, and the overall use of it.
If you are looking for a great canister fuel stove that is compact and easy to use, the WindPro is a great option. MSR also makes the Pocket Rocket which is a nice stove if you are looking to cut down on weight, but the WindPro really provides a lot more stability then the Pocket Rocket does.
Weighing in at only 6.8 ounces this little bugger will boil a litter of water in 4.25 minutes and 2 cups of water in about 2 - 3 minutes. Not too shabby, eh?
Some of the other great features I noticed:
- The burner is extremely stable
- This stove is safer then others because the fuel canister is separated from the stove and the flame adjuster is on the canister as opposed to underneath the pot.
- The coils and burner cool off very quickly so by the time you are finished eating, it is ready to pack up.
- Package includes 1 large windshield and a ground reflector/cover.
- Instruction manual comes in LOTS of different languages.
- Whole package is very lightweight!
