This MSR SImmerLite Backpacking Stove has gone everywhere with Wayne and I.  From the depths of the Zion Narrows to the Little 5 Lakes Region of Sequoia National Park.  We have also taken it on less extreme adventures such as car camping at Big Bear Lake and RVing at Doheny State Beach.  We highly recommend this stove!

Here is a description and specs straight from the REI website (we couldn't have said it better ourselves). 

*Fine-tune the flame from rapid boil to slow, stable simmer for even, consistent cooking; control valve is at the pump, well away from flame.

*New self-purging pump won't leak when you remove it from the stove after cooking, is easier to adjust and is more durable

*Wide burner-head distributes flame evenly; includes widescreen and heat reflectore for increased operating performance

*Three leg (pot supports) fan out to form a stable six-inch cooking surface: Legs fold for compact storage

*Durable six-inch long fuel line keeps bottle away from flame for ease of use and safety

*Totally field maintainable- every stove part is designed to be taken apart and easily replaced in the field, including the fuel pump

*Shaker Jet technology makes cleaning as simple as shaking the stove

*White gas offers the best heat-output value, plus it performs well at any temperature 

*Requires MSR fuel bottle for operation, sold separately

*Weight (w/no fuel)- 8.5 oz

*Dimensions- 9 x 6.7 x 5.8 inches

*Fuel- White Gas

*Average Boil Time- 3 mins 33 seconds

*Burn Time (max flame)- (pint of fuel) 77 min. 10 sec.

*Water Boiled per 100g fuel- 6.6 liters

Needed: MSR Fuel bottle, Stainless Steel pots and pans set (see gear review on StanSport 3 Person Cook Set), plastic utensils.
