Backpacking stoves

I own a MSR I think its called a micro? and I also have a jetboil. believe the model is a flash? Both worked very well and honestly which ever you choose will do the job. nice thing about the jet boil it comes with the igniter attached and you can buy frying pan attachment for it so you are not limited to just using the pot. But I think I prefer the msr for the sole reason that I can interchange the pot size to fit my need for each trip. so ill probably end up selling the jetboil.

boils faster, more fuel efficient, wind does not effect it, nor does elevation.

Thanks for the info Scott

I used the Primus on my sheep hunts and it worked great ..As for wind I brought along a 2ft x12 inch piece of light aluminum ...Its very light and you can fold it and reshape to any configuration ...It stops wind from the sides and speeds up the boil ..Doesnt weigh more than a few ounces ...Dennis

Regular cannister stoves aren't that pricey, so if you intend to do any sort of frying pan work, you'd be much better served with something other than a JB or MSR Windburner.

Frying will be kept to a minimum, just some Stone Sheep tenderloins and backstraps !

Another for MSR wisperlite. It can be easily taken apart and cleaned in the field if it gets too much carbon in it, or has anything else preventing it from achieving its full potential going on. Also comes with foil wind break and splash mat/reflector.

x2 . If your boiling water for mountainhouse,coffee or porridge, this can't be beat for the speed and ease of use. Mine has been used really hard over a 7 year period. In some really nasty conditions. It has has never failed . Getting a little banged up but the Durability has been excellent with zero maintenance.
