For nearly two decades the versatile MSR WhisperLite Internationale has logged more miles than almost any other liquid fuel stove available today. The WhisperLite Internationale adapts to burning a range of fuels, including kerosene and diesel, but most backcountry and international travelers prefer the cleaner and consistent properties of MSR White Gas fuel. The Internationale features a simple and highly reliable design with a shaker jet self-cleaning valve for simplified maintenance while traveling through areas with less refined fuel sources. Over the years MSR modified their fuel pump with a simplified flame adjustment and a durable design. The stainless steel legs/pot supports fold down to fit easily inside most cooking pots. Liquid fuel stoves are an excellent choice for cooking in cold temperatures. Depending on altitude and temperatures, a twenty-ounce fuel bottle of MSR white gas will burn for a 110-minute average.

Like a jet engine
Great backpacking stove. As soon as I got it I tried it out and had no problems figuring out the start up process. We used it in Kentuckey in the Red River Gorge and the first night we had tornado warnings (we found that out later)60+ mph and still boiled in less than 5 minutes the wind screen that came with worked great to keep wind out and increase proficiency. Only problems I found were that there was no heat control. Its jet engine or.... Jet engine. Also even though other stoves have same problem, after you turn it off it keeps a large amount of leftover gas inside that leaks out later no biggy though. All in all great stove would recommend to beginners and advanced backpackers as well.

Great compact stove
I got it for my first backpacking trip and found it easier to use and setup than my old coleman. It is very lightweight and compact and boils water very fast. It is just simply the perfect stove for backpacking.

Best field repairable stove.
I've used this stove for many years. It is so simple you can easily take it apart in the field and remove any clogs in the jet or line. Sometimes it is tough to simmer on and also tends to prime with too much fuel. But over all this is the best stove money can buy.
