Trail-proven for nearly two decades. Boils water faster at frigid temps than gas canister stoves.
For nearly two decades the award-winning MSR WhisperLite has remained the stove of choice for more backcountry experts than almost any other liquid fuel stove on the market. It features a simple and highly reliable design with a shaker jet self-cleaning valve for simplified maintenance. Over the years MSR refined 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 136-minute average.

Works great!
Very nice stove. Works well and boils water fast! Very efficient on fuel too. The legs could be a little easier to use but they work.

Packs nicely
This stove is very easy to use, ignite and cook on. You can avoid the initial flare up by using Heet to prime it! Otherwise, it is light weight and the 22oz white gas canister I use, easily lasts through a week of cooking. From what I have read, I can expect this stove to last a long time due to it's extreme durability.

Fine stove, lights easily and burns hot but quietly.
Altrec went out of their way to get me this stove in time for my trip. Thanks for the great customer service.

Bomb Proof Backcountry Stove @ a Competitive Price.
The MSR Whisperlite aided myself and two others through a 200 mile trek in the Bridger National Forest. Worked well in every condition thrown at us. It's efficient enough to provide hot breakfast and dinner to three for 10 days with the 30oz. fuel bottle. Rugged and simple design sets up and packs easily when crucial alpine daylight is burning. Altrec has got a sweet price on them especially with the free shipping. Saved at least $20.00.
