Msr Windburner Stove Review

Msr windburner personal stove system.

Msr windburner stove review.

The msr windburner stove system. Unfortunately the windburner does not excel in this category. It has the heaviest trail weight in our review at 15 ounces even heavier than the liquid fuel stoves. The msr windburner is an exceptional personal stove system made by mountain safety research.

The msr windburner is a canister stove system built around the wind proof and super fuel efficient radiant burner technology that msr originally developed for its snow melting powerhouse reactor stove. The convenience and durability of the windburner are tough to beat and give it a spot among our list of the best backpacking stoves. Easy to assemble and disassemble the msr windburner personal stove is a great choice for solo backpacking. The windburner combo is the latest stove system in the growing msr lineup.

Msr has added a piezo to the pocketrocket line on the deluxe. With its windproof radiant burner and pressure regulator technology you ll get a faster boil than other compact stoves it takes an average of 4 5 minutes. The msr windburner is the latest and by far one of the more advanced lightweight stoves that the team at mountain safety research has yet developed. The gas canister is a separate item and 110g and 227g canisters can fit inside the windburner.

We love its exceptional performance in windy weather its speedy boil times and great fuel efficiency. Over half of the small and integrated canister stoves in our review sport a piezo though they didn t all work with the same reliability in our tests. The duo stove system with a 1 8 liter pot is a minimalist set designed for two while the group stove system with a 2 5 liter saucepot is targeted towards two to four campers. We are disappointed that msr could not make this product lighter than the reactor it seems like there is a lot of unnecessary metal as well as plastic parts that could be trimmed.

Unlike conventional backpacking stoves radiant burners don t have flames which makes them impervious to windy weather so that they burn hotter and longer on the same amount of canister fuel. Over the last few months our editor used it to cook all his camp favorites from sunrise pancakes to late night pasta. All in one sturdy stove msr windburner is relatively heavier and it packs the stove burner separate fuel canister folding canister stand and packtowl into the compact 1 l pot. My review tech specs and recommendations for use.

The windburner stove system combo is one of the three systems msr sells based around the same remote canister base stove.
