Great product at a nice price. for a simple, light weight bivy the wire screen is a nice feature. I used it in fare weather and light snow (sub zero) and it perfomed great. Not sure I would want to be in a rain storm with it. but for alpine accents in the snow ... thats what it is made for and it is just the ticket if traveling light is what you want.

Was one of the rist on the block to get this stove. It works well and the best part is that you can use gaseouse fuel with it. Gaseouse fuel is cleaner burning and does not need priming. Nice thing about this stove is that you can warm it up using a canister and switch to liquid fuel without haveing to prime it. (be carefull going the other way). It is a bit heavey and a little touchy to simmer but once you get used to it it does great in all kinds of temperatures.

Had one once, glad I dont anymore. Priming was a pain, liquid fuel is a pain and now that they are so picky about flying with stuff that smells like fuel I will never own one of these. Best thing I ever did was getting ride of this stove. It flaired up, sputtered, stopped working and was just junk, and now that MSR is no longer standing behind their stuff ... Well enough said.
