Mountain Safety Research SuperFly Stove w/AutoStart

Description

Mountain Safety Research: SuperFly Stove w/AutoStart - Altrec.com Product Description:

Sometimes while taking on additional provisions you don't have the time or resources to pick and match specific fuel canisters to specific stove brands. That's why MSR designed their SuperFly™ Stove with a Multi-Mount™ that adapts to a range of self-sealing fuel canister shapes and sizes. Another nice feature is the matchless lighting on the AutoStart ignition--just in case you left your matches back at the trailhead. The SuperFly™ has a generous flame with a large burner that heats pots and pans faster than any other MSR fuel canister stove--without burning up precious fuel too quickly. The glove-friendly flame control valve helps fine-tune your cooking between simmer and boil with less hassles than full on/full off backpacking stoves. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister will burn for a 60-minute average.

Multi-Mount™ adapts to a wide range of self-sealing canisters
AutoStart ignition system for match-free lighting
Excellent flame distribution heats pots and pans quickly and efficiently
Glove-friendly flame adjustment feature
MSR IsoPro fuel boil time for 1 liter at sea level in 70F conditions: 3 min.

great little stove I really like this little and superb light stove. I used it during my last trip in Iceland and it worked really well, even in stormy conditions. The stove works with all different cartridges -thats an extra bonus if you travel to different countries.

Great Little Stove I used this stove on my entire 2168 mile Appalachian Trail thru-hike. I started in late Feb. and it was really cold. I had no problems getting the stove to cook my meals even on the coldest of nights. Maybe only once did I have to warm the canister before use.I would give it a 5 star rating but it does have a few issues. Being that it's a taller unit, you have to make sure it's on a flat surface, since balance can be an issue. Wind can rob heat from it so cook in a sheltered area away from the wind. Don't do what the other guy did, NO windscreens on canister stoves!Overall it's a great stove, simple to use, light, and maintenance free. Its small enough to fit inside your pot too. The best part is you can use almost every type of fuel canister out there, a big plus when the outfitter one carries one brand fuel.

A big shot to a big flop I bought the SuperFly with all of the great things I heard about it in mind, But alas, o my first trip out it failed miserably. I tried to use it to cook breakfast (pancakes) and not only did the flame never get up to its full heat output even after I heated up the fuel tank, but the auto started melted beyond repair when I put a heat shield around it. I was out on a warm couple of days at sea level. These sort of problems should not occur on a $60 stove.

Altrec/Vendor Response: MSR does not recommend putting any type of wind screen around their canister stoves. The heat can damage the stove or possibly cause an explosion.
