It refuses to die | |
| Rating: |  |
I have used this one for the last 8 years or so... I don't ever really maintain it, Don't treat it with respect, left it in rain, droped it down a cliff (whoops), have had it completly submerged, left it in a car in the middle of a desert (probably not safe, but whatever), had it burried in a drift, draged away by a racoon, and yet it is still going strong. This stove has had a miserable life, but outside of some discoloration of the metal this thing is still going strong. The only problem I have had with it is that at about 13,500 feet it doesn't seem to work as well, and it absolutly refuses to die so I can't get a newer model... So if you are like me and like to get new stuff every ONCE in a while.... this stove is NOT for you, but if you want something that absolutely will not fail... look no further... | |

I've had mine since me and a highschool buddy when to Isle Royale National Park in the middle of Lake Superior back in 2001 for a 11 day trek of the Island. it worked like a charm the whole time, and to this day I have yet to clean, or do any maintenance to it, and it still works like the first day I got it. If only everything else in the world could be made so perfectly. Folds up nice, and stores in carrying case for minimal space and weight. The only thing different, is i have the pre-filled canister bottle version(which we didnt even use up 2 for both our meals, 3 times a day for the 11 day trip), and mine came with a Heat Reflectors, which BC states this one does not? Im sure its not to different. | |

very durable | |

I've had my WhisperLite for about 4 years and it hasn't let me down yet. Although I prefer the PocketRocket in warmer weather because it's easier and lighter, the WhisperLite is still very durable and fairly easy to operate - just hook it to a fuel bottle, prime it, and then light it. Shaking does clean it, but it is still in your best interest to take it apart and really clean it. As others have stated, it is very quiet and boiling (depending on altitude) doesn't take that long. To make it more efficient, I usually make an improvised windscreen out of aluminum foil and that's all I have to do. Overall, you really can't go wrong with this stove because of its durability and overall ability to handle all climates. | |

Works great, everytime. | |

This is my first white gas stove. I have always had a butane stove and after using it for the first time I thought to myself " Why did I wait so long" I love this stove, and no more guessing how much gas I have left. It is not very good at simmering, but I'm not the greatest cook, and I am backpacking. If I want to cook a fantastic meal I'll do it when I get home. It has never let me down, and I really don't take that good care of it. I clean it now and then and use a little oil on the "O" ring. It's very lite and packs down great. I store it inside my 4 QT. pot when hiking. | |

"Works, practice with it, will work" | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought it here. Had a year or so. It works good. I leave the pump in / on the bottle all the time. Takes some practice to get it goung fast and with one try. Use a big old (metal) coffee can lid under pot to help simmer. Can be slightly unstable as pot surface is slick. I also got The MSR stainless steel pot set it fit well inside it. The bag is nice and heavy duty. The windscreen has held up well, it is heavy gauge aluminum (not tin foil) The small Moosejaw "bumper sticker" looks cool on it. Happy glad I went with it rather than the canister type. It's just more old school. | |

Mountain Safety Research: WhisperLite Stove | |
| Rating: | |
| Well it finally happened my whisperLite stove kicked the bucket. I bought it in 1990 or 91 and never had a problem until the feed line formed a crack while camping last weekend. Funny it still cooked its last diner and breakfast shooting an orange flame out the side. My new one just arrived today hopefully I'll get another 15 years out of this one. They look identical I guess you don't fix what ain't broke is the motto hear.It is a little testy in heavy winds but I built a wind screen that I always use with it. Never failed to light, cook or blow out. Why can't they build tents to last this long? | |

Great Stove | |
| Rating: |  |
This is a great stove for all sorts of backpacking trips. It is easy to use, easy to repair/maintence, and boils water pretty quickly. It is also nice because you can adjust the size of your flame so you are not scorching your dinner! The main drawpack to this stove is that you must carry a bottle of white gas with you. This adds weight and often times makes a mess. Oh yeah, it takes some time to light too because you have to prime it, light it, let it heat up, and then light the flame. This stove's best feature is that it is extremely reliable. | |

Hot, Quiet, & Efficient | |
| Rating: | |
MSR knew what we wanted when they designed & produced the enduring WhisperLite. Built-in shaker jet cleaning tool makes it even easier for your stove to work @ maximum heat output. Quiet & fuel efficient. The twenty-two ounce MSR fuel bottle lasts eight days @ four uses per day for me. My original WhisperLite has been going strong since 1988. Simmers great @ a low setting & on the upper end, very hot. Remove fuel line cable once a year for inspection & make sure to check all rubber pump parts for cracks & hardness on a regular basis to avoid accidents. | |

great stove can be testy to start | |
| Rating: | |
| First the stove is great. Only two items of concern...it takes a little practice to get the burner heated so that it cooks properly. A large flame that starts the stove must preheat the burner prior to cooking and may cause you to panic if you don't expect it and have not closed the fuel off just after lighting it. Second small concern is the in ablity for the stove to simmer. Any food must be stirred/watched at all times or it will burn. All in all a great stove. Hint: I recommend 3oz of fuel/perday/person. DO NOT USE INDOORS. | |

This stove will keep you cooking year after year. Contrary to popular belief, you can simmer with this stove. Prime it, light it, turn it off, release the gas pressure, pump it about 3 times, connect it, and light it again. | |

Built to last | |
| Rating: |  |
I've had one of these stoves for over 10 years, it's the old stand-by for car camping. I also have a MSR Pocket Rocket, which I prefer on the trail due its minimalist size and weight. However, I have to say I'm all about using canisters not fuel bottles, so my Whisper Light is getting a little dusty these days. | |
