Description

Mountain Safety Research: WindPro Backpacking Stove - Altrec.com Product Description:

Widely considered the best remote-canister stove, the MSR WindPro is a favorite of many seasoned backpackers and climbers. Although white gas stoves with remote fuel bottles remain popular, more and more campers are catching-on to the advantages of isopropane canister fuel. The WindPro is designed for use with isopropane, which is attractive to campers because it doesn't require priming and provides heat output similar to white gas. And working in tandem with this camping stove, isopropane fuel offers precise flame adjustment. The stove itself is the lightest remote-canister stove on the market, weighing just 6.8 ounces. The WindPro is the only remote-canister stove sold with a windscreen and heat reflector and wind tests show that it performs better than the competition's remote-canister offerings. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister brings approximately 15 liters of water to a boil from a starting temperature of 21º C.

  • Wind resistant: Tested better than all remote-canister competitors
  • Compact: Fits in a 1-liter MSR® pot
  • Wide flame output – ideal for larger cookware
  • Full flame control from simmer to boil
  • MSR® IsoPro™ fuel boil time for 1 liter of 21º C water at sea level: 4.25 min.
  • One 8-oz. MSR® IsoPro™ fuel canister brings 15 liters of 21º C water to a boil at sea level
  • MSR® IsoPro™ fuel canisters sold separately
  • Minimum weight (stove only): 6.8 oz. (193 g.)
  • Packaged weight: 10.5 oz. (297 g.)

not for cold climes In tempatures about freezing, the performance dropped off considerably. Most of my hiking in and around the Sierra's seem to include cold mornings and evenings when I needed the most from my camp stove. In temps above 40 this stove was good.

The best cannister stove out there, and a great stove all around There are not negatives. No priming, just instant flame. The only one in its category with the windscreen, it boils more quickly than rated. I do predict that this stove will go a long way toward making liquid fuel stoves obsolete save for extreme conditions.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Wind Pro Heavier than the Super Fly, yet being able to wrap foil tightly around unit may allow more efficient fuel use. Still wondering if the SF will blow with same treatment. Wind much better. Fuel weight per h2o heated is the diff. Love all of them...

Is this Useful? - Yes - No
