Review by mtnkid85 Good Features Excellent quality! Ive been using my Whisperlite for ~10 years, never failed me. Hardly ever needs cleaned, and when it does its a very simple task.
Cools quickly
comes with wind screens Bad Features takes a time or two to light it with out a big flare up. (Just crack the gas valve open for a few secs, light then close gas valve let that small amount of fuel burn to warm jet, then right before flame goes out open gas to ignite stove). Really quite simple and not a reason to not purchase.
There are lighter models out now, in the summer I carry a MSR pocket rocket to cut down on weight. Recommended Alternatives MSR pocket rocket

Review by fastskier720 Good Features amazing reliability and size (the bottle does take up alot of space but the stove is tiny.) the thing cools quickly and is really easy once you get a hang of lighting it. Bad Features takes a couple of times to learn how to start quickly, but is easy once you know how.
