In short
Good for
- Exposed pitches, ridges and coastal camps where wind makes a flame stove struggle
- Autumn to spring three-season trips and shoulder-season wild camps
- Solo walkers or pairs who want steady, fuel-efficient boiling in poor weather
Strengths
- Enclosed radiant burner with a pressure regulator: all six outlets rate its wind performance well
- 18 litres per 227 g canister (12.6 g per litre), so a small canister goes a long way
- Burner, canister stand and lid nest inside the 1 litre pot, with the bowl snapping on the outside (packed 11.5 x 11.5 x 18 cm)
- Regulator helps keep power steady in cold weather (MSR)
Weaknesses
- 465 g packaged, in the heaviest weight band we score
- Boils 1 litre in 4.5 minutes by MSR's own figure (270 s)
- No built-in igniter: SectionHiker, CleverHiker and BASE all carry a lighter
- CleverHiker finds the handle flimsier than it would like
- MSR gives no winter rating, so we do not mark it winter-ready
