The MSR Whisperlite Universal Stove features a twisting component which controls how much fuel is being released from the fuel canister, which directly controls the intensity of the flame. This can be adjusted to release as little fuel possible while still maintaining a flame. Having the fuel release at this low level should result in just a low simmer.
