MSR WindPro

This stove is remarkably compact, easy to clean, easy to light, good for bigger groups, has great temperature control, is remarkably lightweight, powerful, and stable.

The only major con with this stove is the cable not very flexible.

I like how the stove has a separate wind shield; with the separate fuel and burner, it is safe, and it improves heating time. (this stove is under NO risk of the heat buildup that many canister stoves are prone to.  I also found that using  a "cozy" on the fuel enables  the fuel to  burns more efficiently, so the stove behaves better.I also always turn the fuel can upside down.

With the stable design, these "tricks" make the stove very efficient. I used one small fuel canister on a 7 day trip for two, using it an average of twice a day. I also like the adjustable flame. This stove also is very dependable; I have fed groups of up to 8 using this stove.

I would buy again! Its extra very few ounces are worth the effectiveness.

I purchased this stove from REI over a year ago and have used it for work, backpacking, and kayaking. I also own a Soto Micro Regulator and a Coleman Feather 442 and I always go back to the WindPro. It is very stable, has great flame adjustment with true simmerability, and is very fuel efficient.  

I thought the wind screen was kind of corny at first but then after using it so many times I grew to respect it, it just works, and has lasted for over a year, maybe due to me rolling it up instead of folding it. I did buy a replacement wind screen but haven't needed it yet.  

I would highly recommend this stove to anyone wanting a stove they can actually cook on or if you just want to boil water.

I've used the stove through our Australian winter with temps down to -5ºC (in the vestibule). It has always been a great, and never had a thought of it failing. The three legs offer great stability, especially when having a large pot (suitable for 3) being supported. I use ISOBUTANE/PROPANE gas cannisters in the snow and the cheaper BUTANE/PROPANE mix in the warmer months. When the cannisters are getting low, this is the stove where I can invert them to get the gas flowing into the stove without a worry due to its PREHEAT tube. (WARNING: DON'T DO THIS WITH ANY GAS STOVE THAT DOESN"T HAVE A PREHEAT TUBE!!) This allows a constant stream of liquid gas (similar to a conventional liquid fuel stove). The simple wind shield alows me to cook outside in most winds and still retain a rapid boil time.

Wow, it took some serious wind up here in middle and north Alaska. I bought it for a light, consistent stove. That it is! I've set it up on top of some windy domes and cooked great. It also made a great trip to the Brooks Range. It used less fuel than MSR and a salesman calculated. I was impressed.

...then I tested it during the winter... It was -10F and the stove wouldn't have it. I finally got it lit to test it out and all the fuel in the canister went bye-bye ever so quickly. In -20F, it won't light.

Bottom line: Great all around, light stove down to freezing. Works even in wind (as designed).

I like this stove a lot for a few reasons; here goes. It easily breaks down for storage and cleaning. I've used this stove in the late fall about 30 degree weather and it lights right up. Also had the opportunity to use it in the rain and had no problem starting it. Wind screen works well + reflects the heat. Flame adjustment knob feels like it can break easily.

Cons: Compressed fuel canister is difficult to determine how much fuel is actually left after use. Best to always carry a second canister as a back up. Other than that the stove works great with no hassle of having to pressurize a separate fuel canister. Recommend.

This stove is great! I would like to think of myself as an ultralighter but this stove warrants carrying a few extra oz.'s Being safety conscious on the trail is important to me. Having a stable base for the one dangerous item in my pack is a necessity.

Cooking with this stove is a dream with fine tune adjustment of the flame for simmering or searing. Boiling water is fast and easy in large quantities.

The included wind screen adds the efficiency of the unit. One canister of fuel was enough for a three night kayak trip which included use for all three meals and late night coffee.

Seriously, I argued with my girl that I would break this thing within one outing, but I should know that I should just listen to her and shutup. One of the best stoves ever. Quick to light and one seriously hot flame for as fuel effecient as it is. One of the few stoves I can say actually lived up to the "Will boil a liter of water in X number of minutes" standard it set for itself. As thin and light as it was it stood up to all of my abuse well and hasn't failed me yet. MSR has a good thing going with this little guy.

This little stove throws out some great heat. Boiled a bowl of water for my Mountain House meal at 12,000 feet within a few minutes. I have not yet used the metallic windshield that comes with it because I have yet to need its application.

I like how the stove is separate from the fuel canister, which lowers the center of gravity in helping prevent spills or even being blown over from strong winds. The stove lights quickly with either a ferrous rod and steel, or matches - whatever you use. Great, compact, simple backpacking stove.

I would recommend this stove.

Love this stove. Previously had used a Whisperlight and have not used it since getting the Windpro four years ago. I was worried at first that the canister might not last long but I have never run out of fuel on a week long hike boiling water for two in the morning and evening for food and hot drink.

Puts out good heat and always use the included wind screen. I use it in temps between 30F and 90F. Wish it was a little more compact but it treats me well.

Awesome stove that stands up to its reviews! It's small, lightweight, and with the accessories like reflective bottom foil and wind guard foil, it all packs nicely inside its pouch and stows inside my MSR mess kit pots. The fuel cans are small, and in my humble opinion, last quite a long time. It boiled 6 cups of water (for mac and cheese) at my last outing with the boy scouts in less than 4 minutes, using a covered pot. You can't go wrong with this stove.

If you are looking for a lightweight, easy to use, compact stove to use in windy conditions look no further. This stove is all you will ever need. The best feature of this little flame thrower is the "sturdy-ness" factor it brings to the camp kitchen. Just find a reasonably flat spot for this heating wonder, light, cook, and enjoy. It holds pots and pans without the worry of tumbling/tipping over.

You almost don't need the windscreen with this stove. I used this stove on South Bass Island, Ohio, next to Lake Erie with a nice breeze blowing off the lake and was able to cook a small pot of stew with no windscreen!

This little beauty is small but can really put out a roaring flame and cook your food quickly! This stove is well worth the money!

Best stove ever! It's hot, very adjustable, compact, light weight, stable and burns clean. 

I've been at this for 50 years and I'm done. This is the one.

I am a Boy Scout and used this on a 90-mile hike. It performed great and I love it and will be using it a lot.
