Definition of an expert: "Someone 50 miles from home with a briefcase" (as explained to me many years ago by a senior engineer).

I've had an MSR Whisperlite for 22 or 23 years now, the only times I had a fireball was when the jet was a bit clogged or when I overprimed it. As mentioned before, it really doesn't take much fuel to prime the stove. The old Primus stoves (without a pump) tended to be far more "dramatic" to start ....
