Nick's Review of MSR Whisperlite Universal Stove

I have used the MSR Whisperlite stove for years. When the International model came out I switched over to it. I just purchased the Universal model, because I find that I am using a canister stove more and more now. I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it will work well, as all of my MSR stoves have. The only thing that I can find fault with is all of the small parts you need to haul along to convert it over to liquid fuel. I can just see myself trying to convert this thing over in the freezing cold and losing pieces in the mud or snow. Personally, I think that they could have made the system much more foolproof by just adding a second fuel line designed to connect to a fuel bottle. I don't know why they included two replacement orifices, when the "International" model only has one? If you are going to all the trouble of carrying a liquid fuel bottle and pump, how much more can a additional fuel line weigh? Personally, I think that this stove is a design failure for MSR and that it won't be on the market for long.
