Dan's Review of MSR Whisperlite Universal Stove

This is an excellent durable little stove. I use the included lindal valve with a Primus ergo-pump. Primarily running klean heat kerosene with the appropriate kerosene jet (and added carbon felt to the priming cup), I discovered switching to isobutane canisters did not require a change of the jet. I could change it to get more BTUs, but it'll still boil a liter of water in reasonable time without any effort. Using it with the lindal valve allows me to easily move back and forth between cannisters and kerosene. Removing the generator coil first allows me to pack everything away in a 1.4 liter pot with plenty of room to spare for a lighter, spare O- rings, a windscreen, fuel pump, and a 2 oz bottle of denatured alcohol for priming.
