This MSR stove is a true option for international travel.

Review of MSR Whisperlite Internationale
Rated as 4/5 on May 25 2007 by robinb

4/5

I’ve owned the MSR Whisperlite for years now, and it’s never failed. It burns just about anything from white gas & kerosene to unleaded petrol (personal choice). It boils a pot of water in under 2 minutes and is ideal for cooking up hot drinks or pasta dishes after a long day.

It is very field serviceable and easily comes apart into its individual pieces (I’ve done it a few times) and includes ’shaker jet’ technology, which is effectively a little pin that cleans out the vapouriser as the gas shakes it at high velocity. Great kit, great stove!

The only criticism is, with no heat adjustment it does two temperatures - Blowtorch or Off!

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Geared Up Blog) - Yesterday i was with the first group of people in Ireland to see MSR’s new revolutionary stove. The Reactor is by far the coolest stove ive ever seen. It took 2 and a half minutes for it to boil a litre of water right in front of us. But the coolest thing by far is that you can hold the stove while you cook. With most stoves you need a foil windbrake and a stable platform but you can easily hold this stove while it cooks your meal. The heat was quite overwhelming when the pot top wasnt on but once the pot goes on can feel not heat coming from the stove. It just shows you all the energy is being concentrated on the water. It’s due for release in either July or August and will retail at roughly €150. The gas and the burner also fit nicely into the pot for compact carrying and transporting.
One last thing, the MSR logo is etched into the top of the burner so it burns and reads with the MSR logo!

“The Fastest, Most Efficient, All-Condition Stove System. Ever.”

I’ve just found this new tent from MSR, I’ll get it on findmeatent.com tomorrow morning. Looks good, but havn’t had time to go into detail on it yet. Looks like it’s for pointing into the wind alright! Odd exo skeleton pole.
