MSR Stoves

[snag]

I understand the Jetboil is not a "simmer" type of stove. It is great for a quick boil. Is the Whisperlite a stove that you can cook things a little slower...have a wider range of temps?

I guess I got some bad info. from the place I was looking at them...

Snag:

It is essentially just like every other canister stove regarding flow control of fuel - quite good.  JetBoil, however has a fantastic heat capture/exchanger ststem that really picks up the efficiency.

There is now a GCS (group cooking system)for JetBoil which is a larger pot and I have seen a fry pan too with the "flux ring".

MSR makes a heat exchanger for use on pans if you are not using a jet boil stove, and I highly recommend it for fuel conservation.

Funny observation:  If JetBoil wasn't so good (Backpacker Magazine Product Award Winner), them why did MSR come out with one last year?

On a side note, I still use a stove with a "remote" fuel source as I enjoy using an Outback Oven.  Can't do that with a bottom mounted canister - too much heat - BOOOOM!.
