Widely considered the best remote-canister stove, the MSR WindPro is a favorite of many seasoned backpackers and climbers. Although white gas stoves with remote fuel bottles remain popular, more and more campers are catching-on to the advantages of isopropane canister fuel. The WindPro is designed for use with isopropane, which is attractive to campers because it doesn't require priming and provides heat output similar to white gas. And working in tandem with this camping stove, isopropane fuel offers precise flame adjustment. The stove itself is the lightest remote-canister stove on the market, weighing just 6.8 ounces. The WindPro is the only remote-canister stove sold with a windscreen and heat reflector and wind tests show that it performs better than the competition's remote-canister offerings. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister brings approximately 15 liters of water to a boil from a starting temperature of 21º C.
If wind is your worry, but you prefer canisters over liquid fuel, then this is the stove for you. The WindPro worked better in wind tests than all the competitors, and it is the only remote canister stove sold complete with a windscreen and heat reflector.
The WindPro camp stove is one of the most efficient and versatile stoves available. Because of its remote burner, you can safely use a windscreen around it without dangerously enclosing the fuel canister. This not only boosts stove efficiency, but also eliminates the environmental impacts and hassle of building rock windbreaks. The remote burner offers better stability with large pots than any other canister-mounted stove, makes finding a place to set it up easy and allows you to swap out an empty canister without moving a hot pot. Hands-down, it’s one of the best all-around stoves on the market.

* Versatile: Supports large cook pots (up to 9" maximum diameter) and can be used with bake ovens.
* Lightweight: Lightest remote canister stove on the market - weighs less than 7 oz. (200g).

Super Simple, Light, and Compact | |

| After using other people's stoves for years, this was the first stove I bought for myself. The REI salesman talked me out of the white-gas version for this one, and I am glad he did. This is so simple to use, very clean, and no mess. Boiled a couple liters of water in about 4-6 minutes at 43 degrees F for Mac and Cheese the first night and then we heated up some ready made soup. Next morning made instant oats and fried up some eggs. Loved that we could get the stove down to a simmer and do eggs over hard without burning them! Only issue I had with the stove is that the fuel pipe seems to have moved after first use and is in the way of folding up. Showed it to REI and they said it wasn't normal, so they swapped it out. Hopefully it was a fluke and the next one doesn't have that issue. Also the "wind screen" is nothing more than a thin sheet of aluminum that you fold up, but at least it works and is light. Worried it might break at the fold lines with repeated use, but we will see. | |

Excellent Stove | |

Having used many stoves here in Australia (including a Whisperlite Intl, Trangia, MSR Pocket Rocket, Dragonfly) I have found this to be the most efficient stove I have ever used. | |

Best stove out there. | |

I've seen a lot of people's stoves on the trail, and am always glad that I bought the WindPro. Most canister stoves have two modes, off and jet engine (both in noise and power output). The WindPro has the full range from simmer to blazing heat. It boils water lightning fast, and then turns down to simmer so I don't char my broccoli cheese rice. I am usually eating before my buddies with alcohol have their stoves up and running (seems like you have to perform a seance to get those things to work right). The stove is sturdy as a rock, so you don't need to worry about spilling your dinner. And it is aptly named, because the wind does not faze it. | |

Good Stove! | |

| I like how the stove has a wind shield; with the separate fuel and burner, it is safe, and it improves heating time. I also use a "cozy" on the fuel, thus the fuel burns more efficiently, so the stove behaves better. I also always turn the fuel can upside down. With the stable design, these "tricks" make the stove very efficient. I used one small fuel canister on a 7 day trip for two, using it an average of twice a day. I also like the adjustable flame. This stove also is very dependable; I have fed groups of up to 8 using this stove. I would buy again! Its extra very few ounces are worth the effectiveness. | |

MSR WindPro or alcohol | |
| Rating: | |
After several months of going very light, the fiddle factor of using alcohol just wasn't working for me. One night after being stuck in the rain and setting up a shelter I wanted something warm. Thinking about using alcohol in these conditions meant going to bed without. I don't do the big miles day after day, so can carry some more weight. Totally pleased with isobutane and this stove so far. Can pack an 8 oz canister, windscreen, stove and lighter all into a snowpeak 1400ml pot. Instant heat, complete flame control. If conditions deteriorate you can count on it to do the job and do it quickly if needed. | |

Awesome stove | |
| Rating: | |
I got this stove last spring and I have loved using it all summer. I first got to use it on the Dolores river, with some snow, so the temps were easily in the thirties and twenties, and it worked just fine. It even had enough power to heat potatoes on a cast iron pan. I took it on the PCT for a hundred miles and found it to be very efficient and easy to use. I ended up using less gas than my buddy who had the pocket rocket. It works awesome with the wind screen in place and has been very durable. | |

Awesome. | |

The WindPro rocks. Consistent flame at all levels whether boiling fast or simmering. I slow cook Pasta Sides all the time with it...and they require simmering for like 8-10 minutes. With the windscreen, this is absolutely no problem. If only they could figure out how to get this performance out of something the size of the pocket rocket...that would be the only way I can imagine improving it. The storage bag is great too. The wide burner is awesome in that it doesn't just "jet" in one tiny spot and burn the food in the pot. | |

Just got back from using this stove up in the Mountains with a wind chill of -15. I had no problems with it ever going out. Used the heat reflector and it worked great as well. Always nice to have some warm soup on such a cold day! I am very happy with this stove!!! | |

Great backpacking stove | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a nice lightweight and compact backpacking stove suitable for a wide range of environments. It has a very wide flame spreader for excellent heat distribution and wide pot supports for large pots and frying pans. If your going to be frying pancakes in the woods, this is the stove to use. | |

My new Jetboil has replaced this stove. | |
| Rating: |  |
| This stove had been my number one canister stove until recently. I liked that the stove and fuel was separated. There are times when a wind shield could heat up a canister, so having it outside the windshield is sometimes good. Problems 1 - Over priced. There are so many better stoves at about the same or lower price now. 2 - the stand is not stable. Any 3 leg stand is not stable, a four leg stand is far better. 3 - heavy - this is stainless steel. Its heavy! 4 - the fuel canister is not upside down like in the jetboil helios, hence, it does't work in the winter when temperatures are very cold. 5 - bulky For a compact design with a built in wind screen I use my Snowpeak titanium canister stove. I really love the snow peak stove. Its my most used stove now. For cold weather, I use the Jetboil helios stove. | |

not for cold climes | |

| In tempatures about freezing, the performance dropped off considerably. Most of my hiking in and around the Sierra's seem to include cold mornings and evenings when I needed the most from my camp stove. In temps above 40 this stove was good. | |
