Seriously, $130 for this in 2025 is an incredible deal for this level of build quality and functionality. And USA made with a lifetime warranty to boot?! AND they actually have customer support?! AND you can actually get parts for it?! Get! Out!SOME THINGS:1. It is strictly a boiler. Yeah, MSR offers some larger pots and pans to squeeze you for more money, but the stove is designed to boil, not to fry bacon and definitely not to simmer. Compatible cookware or no, the design of the stove itself precludes it's ability to do those things well and if that's what you're looking for this is not the stove for you.2. It has like three settings: Full Blast, Almost Full Blast, and Off. It does not run on a low setting and the burner is so quiet that if you turn it below Almost Full Blast it may well go out and you won't even know it.3. It's not hard to light, but you need the right tool to light it with. A little piezo igniter doesn't work. You need either an actual flame or something that drops sparks into the burner head, like a fire steel or cigarette lighter. A built in igniter wouldn't work well and would also be an explosion hazard if a person tried to light it that way with the pot on, which is why it doesn't have one.4. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! The burner has a thermal breaker that shuts it down and renders it nonfunctional in the extremely unlikely event that it overheats. You can reset it in the field, but only if you know how to.5. Only put the lid on while the cup is on the bottom by holding the pot by the handle, else the pressure will jam the pot too far into the cup and it'll be extremely difficult to get it back off.6. If packed according to the instructions it will rattle. What I do instead is put the included cleaning pad in the bottom, then drop the stove in upright, then the can stabilizer with the little hooks that hold the can facing up, then put the gas can in upright. It doesn't rattle like this and it doesn't hurt anything, but the top won't fit down completely. It almost does and it's still tight enough that you can turn it upside down and shake it very hard and it stays on, though.REMARKS:Completely awesome backpacking stove if all you need is a boiler. In the wind is where it shines, and no other stove save the MSR Reactor even comes close to it's boil times, but out of the wind it's really no better than any other similarly designed stove. Regarding the size and shape, I prefer it over something shorter and fatter for a couple reasons. First, because I think it packs better. Second, because I use a chair and the extra height makes it more convenient. I suppose you could call it heavy, but I don't care about that.As I write this, the cost of this thing is $144 + an additional 10% off coupon, bringing the total to $129 and some change, and this for the updated model. Some other retailer might match this price, but you cannot beat it and it's worth every penny IF you want a boiler. If you want to cook, do yourself a humongous favor and buy something else with a more open burner design and finer flame adjustability. Seriously, even one of those little $10 BRS three prong stoves will work better.

An outstanding stove all around. If you know what you want and dont have unreasonable expectations this is the heat. Literally. Ive had and used the “other” popular brand as well, they are poor performers / poor quality compared to the MSR. I actually giggled like a kid the first time I used this, the boil time was so ridiculously fast it surprised me. Zero and I mean zero complaints after a couple months using this. True MSR quality

La caja vino dañada, parece que no haya afectado al producto.

Je mehr der folgenden Fragen mit Ja beantwortet werden, umso besser ist dieser Kocher und umso mehr wiegen seine Vorteile gegenüber einfacheren Gaskochern oder auch Multifuel-Kochern:- sehr kompaktes Packmass- Einsatz in grossen Höhen- Einsatz in stark windiger Umgebung- Einsatz zum Schneeschmelzen- Fast nur Gebrauch um Wasser heiss zu machen (Tütennahrung, Tee, Trinkwasser)Das sind die Punkte in denen der Kocher seine absoluten Stärken ausspielen wird und vielen anderen hinsichtlich Effizienz, Brennstoffverbrauch, Zeitbedarf und Funktionalität ausspielen wird. Klassischer Einsatz auf mehrtätigen Hochtouren in Schnee und Eis oder auf langen Klettertouren mit Übernachtung in der Wand bei denen es Tütennahrung und Tee gibt. Sonst halte ich persönlich die Mehrstoffbrenner für deutlich praktischer. Auf einer Gletschertour ist Kocher der ungeschlagene Champion (auch mit dem grösseren Topf), für die Wildnisswoche in Lappland nehme ich den MSR Whisperlite mit, der mich seit fast 25 Jahren niemals im Stich liess.

This fast boil stove is perfect for making hot drinks and boiling water for freeze dried meals.

Eficiente y simple , gran estufa de su tipo ya la hemos utilizado en los Volcanes Iztaccihuatl y Citlaltepetl a 5230 y 5636 msnm (17,159 ft y 18,491) de altura, puedes preparar desde un té hasta macarrones con queso en el recipiente, no se pega la comida y es fácil de limpiar. Lo que me parece más impresionante es que a esa altura con vientos de 28 km/h (17.39 m/h) a temperatura de -17° C (1.4° F) , 1 ltro de agua hierve en 7 min, una sopa instantanea la preparas en 12 min y una de macarrones con queso en el mismo tiempo, Cabe aclarar que al ser tan eficiente se reduce el gasto de gas y una lata te dura casi el doble que en cualquier otro sistema de cococión que haya utilizado. A diferencia de algunos sistemas similares que tienen plastico en la zona donde va la llama, y esta zona de plástico con el viento provoca que este plástico se derrita y no se pueda usar más. El Windburner no tiene plastico en la zona que produce el calor no se derrite, no usa una flama "normal o común" usa un sistema de radiación que lo hace más eficiente y seguro, al tener lamina de acero ventilada que NUNCA SE QUEMA a diferencia del Flash o similares.La diferencia con las estufas u hornillas de bolsillo el viento SÍ las afecta y puede llega a hervir el agua en las condiciones que mencione hasta en 18 min y comer o beber algo caliente es algo complicado.La recomiendo ampliamente para cualquier ambiente, el tema es el costo...pero para mi vale la pena. Les recomiendo complementar con la sartén para el winburner, gran complemento y se cocina de maravilla en los lugarres con mucho viento.

Amazingly well made.PROS:1). Quality. This product is well made2). Boils FAST. the best of any of my methods (pocket rocket, wood, esbit, etc)3). Weather resistant. The ONLY method that performs well in heavy winds and cold temperatures. (Better than jetboil). If you’re going somewhere in the elements, take this over anything else4). Pretty good on fuel consumptionCONS:1) burner doesn’t have a piezo lighter built in, so you always need a fire source to light it.2). The handle is weird because it’s shaped in such a way that it’s awkward to hold the pot. Not a huge deal, but if you get it, you’ll understand3). A bit of a one-trick pony in that what it does well, it does GREAT. But if I wanted to fry anything on it, I have to purchase a wind burner specific pan, etc., which I am unable to use for anything except the wind burner because of the locking base. So it forces me to purchase accessories that are only good for the wind burner. People have suggested purchasing an adapter which might work. But right now in my car is a wind burner fry pan that is useless on a camp fire, so I’d rather have one fry pan I can use on any heating method I happen to have

The MSR Windburner cook system IMHO is one of the best designed cook systems to come out of MSR. I have used MSR stoves since the late 70’s and my original MSR stove works as well today as it did when I pulled it out of the box, MSR makes good products.The Windburner has changed the way that I cook while backpacking, no more fiddling with windscreens and carefully balancing the pot in an unstable surface.All components of the cook system are contained in or on the pot, one simple package. Assembly of the components again simple and efficient.The speed that this stove brings the water to a boil is amazing and very fuel efficient. I dehydrate and assemble all of my backpack meals to work with this system. I use the meathods for dehydrating meals that are in the Recipes for Adventure cookbook. The prepared meals and cook times described by Chef Mcallister work perfectly with the Windburner cook system. I have found no real need to use an additional cozy with the MSR pot, seems the standard MSR cozy / insulation sleeve with lid works without the need of an additional cozy.I dump my meal into the pot with two cups of water and secure the lid, let the meal soak for five minutes, fire up the stove and bring the water to a boil which takes around two minutes and let the contents boil for one minute then turn off stove and wait 10 to 15 min and a perfectly cooked meal is done. Total burn time approximately three to four minutes.When I pack with another person we carry a spare 1LT pot, we set up both pots at the same time letting the meal soak. When the first pot has boiled for the required one minute we switch out the pots and bring the second one up to boil which only adds another three minutes to the cook time for both of us. No need for her to carry another burner but she can easily carry another fuel canister in her pot. Sometimes we will use one pot to cook both meals and one pot to make coffee or tea.The ability to use the Windburner fry pan adds another level of ability to the system, we will often take the frypan to cook some more traditional meals with a small weight penalty, since one of us is only carrying a pot and no burner we can take the fry pan in place of the burner.Yes the Windburner is less fuel efficient than the Jetboil but that’s only if there is no wind. Add some wind and you have much less fuel efficiency and you are back to finding a place to stash the cook system to block the wind.
