From Oregon Mountain Community:
"In a world that expects liquid-fuel stoves to have one setting (hot), the MSR DragonFly stands out. Since its debut in 1998, it has won numerous awards for its innovative dual-valve design, which offers an unrivaled range of continuous and immediate flame control. Simmer a delicate sauce over a candle flame or melt snow quickly over a blowtorch with a twist of the flame adjuster. The continued popularity and performance of the DragonFly can be attributed to the many features invented by MSR. CoolFuel™ Valve First ever dual-valve design offers an unrivaled range of flame control – simmer to boil with a twist of the flame adjuster. Extra Wide Pot Supports Three wide pot supports hold larger MSR pots or fry pans for gourmet cooking. Multi-Fuel Burns white gas, kerosene, unleaded auto fuel, diesel, and jet fuel. Compact Folds to 1/3 of its working size for easy storage. Remote Burner Pioneered by MSR, the separate fuel bottle and pump keep the flame away from the fuel, which allows the use of a windscreen to make the stove burn hotter and more efficiently. Self-Cleaning Shaker Jet Clean out jet debris for high performance with a flick of the wrist. Suspended Burner Cup The suspended burner cup enables the stove to burn hot and strong while reducing heat lost to the ground. Specifications: Weight: 14 oz."

I love the simmering capability. The flame can be adjusted so low I actually baked a pizza on it on Pikes Peak."

I also found that is uses very little fuel compared to what I would expect. I went on a trip with 2 full bottles, wanting to be safe, and came back with 1 and a half after 6 days or so just boiling water."

It's relatively small and folds up well, but the fuel line protrudes a little."

This stove is not exactly quiet. It's hard to converse when it's cooking for you; however, that being said it does cook fast."
