MSR WhisperLite International Backpacking Stove. It supports a wide variety of liquid fuel. With this stove, I don't have to buy vendor-specific gas canisters. White gas works great with it. The stove folds down to a compact form. It is easy to use.

- tombh 10y agoHave one as well. There's something primordially symbolic about having this rugged and compact device able to so easily create a safe flame from most practically available liquid and gas fuels.
- sizzzzlerz 10y agoI, too, have one and have used it for decades. Once you get it started, it puts out a flame like a jet engine. The only issues I have with it are 1, it can be temperamental trying to light it when it's cold and 2, it doesn't simmer well. Trying to adjust the flame low enough to not burn the food, I often turn it off completely and have to restart it.
