Mountain Safety Research: SimmerLite Backpacking Stove - 5 Reviews

Jim Harris - 2005-01-25
The perfect backpack stove I have been looking for the perfect backpacking stove for me for some time. I have friends in Boy Scouts that have either the MSR Dragonfly or the MSR Whisperlite. I like the size and simplicity of the Whisperlite, but did not like the inability to adjust the flame. The Dragonfly was great with the adjustability, but the stove seemed too bulky. The Simmerlite is the perfect match of both size and adjustability. The quality of the unit and ease of use are fabulous!

Great Stove, All I expected. I had been agonizing over the purchase of a white gas stove for cold weather conditions, and purchased the MSR Dragonfly as a result of prompting by REI. Not all people fit in the same browm wraper, and I found it too big, too heavy, too complex, and unsuitable for my pots. I bought the MSR Simmer Light, and found it light, compact, and perfect for my needs. For me this was a much better choice. Stove works great and heats fast. Great stove.
