Product Description

The MSR WindPro Canister camp stove is one of the most efficient and versatile stoves available. Because of its remote burner, you can safely use a windscreen around it without dangerously enclosing the fuel canister. This not only boosts stove efficiency, but also eliminates the environmental impacts and hassle of building rock windbreaks. The remote burner offers better stability with large pots than any other canister-mounted stove, makes finding a place to set it up easy, and allows you to swap out an empty canister without moving a hot pot. Hands-down, it's one of the best all-around stoves on the market.

• Compatible with windscreen (included) for top performance in all conditions
• Supports large cook pots (up to 9inches in diameter) and can be used with bake ovens
• Lightest remote canister stove on the market - weighs less than 7 ounces
• Small enough to fit in a one-liter pot
• Made in USA

Specifications:

• Minimum Weight: 6.8 ounces
• Packaged Weight: 10.5 ounces

• Water boiled (MSR IsoPro) per 1 ounce of fuel: 1.8 liters

Product Description

If wind is your worry, but you prefer canisters over liquid fuel, then this is the stove for you. The WindPro worked better in wind tests than all the competitors, and it is the only remote canister stove sold complete with a windscreen and heat reflector.

5.0 out of 5 stars A windscreen friendly canister stove, January 7, 2008

This review is from: MSR Windpro Canister Stove (Sports)

I'm not sure what the other reviewer means. The title says "MSR Windpro Canister Stove," but perhaps I missed some other (erroneous) mention of liquid fuel in the details. At any rate, the other reviewer and the item's title are correct--this is a canister stove as is made clear by the picture. This stove is great because you can use a traditional wind-screen with it since the canister is away from the flame. MSR has achived this while keeping the stove very light...and quite stable. This is a great stove and I have no real complaints. I have 3 MSR stoves and they make quality products which they stand behind if anything goes wrong (which has only happened once to me)--Great customer service!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect stove for my needs., June 21, 2010

I just came back from a two week camping trip where I used this stove to cook two meals a day. It was exactly what I expected and wanted--a lightweight, compact cannister stove that sits solidly on the ground rather than precariously on top of the gas cannister (I like cannister stoves because they are easier to use than those which require a fluid, like white gas or gasoline, to be decanted into a fuel bottle, and the cannisters are at least as widely available as white gas). The cooking I do requires that I boil at most 2 1/4 cups of water at a time (which is sufficient to prepare a freeze-dried entree for two people) which it does quickly on the highest setting, but adjusts easily down to the low temperature necessary to cook pancakes.

I found the flexible sheet of aluminum supplied as a windscreen to be mickey mouse to say the least, but it is light and unquestionably does the job. Another small circular sheet of aluminum comes with it without any mention in the instructions as to what it's for. I THINK you might use it under the stove as a reflector, but as the gas jets point up and heat rises, I don't see the point. It also would compromise the stability of the stove if used that way. (But maybe I have it wrong and that's not what it's for at all.)

On my previous trip I used an MSR Reactor stove. While more windproof and compact (when taking into account that you don't need an additional set of pots), it costs $45 more (exactly what my aluminum MSR cookset cost) and limits you to a 1.7 liter pot--unless you want to shell out another $89.95 for the 2.5 liter pot that works with the system. Even with that, you don't have an easy way to cook pancakes or eggs.

If you want a light, reliable relatively inexpensive stove that fits inside of a cooking pot, that is stable and uses easy to find and convenient to use gas cannisters, this is the stove for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars What the aluminum disk is for, June 30, 2010

I've been using MSR stoves since the first one came out 30+ years ago. My first choice is the Whisperlite, but you can't take a used one in your airplane luggage any more. I started using a friend's Superfly but wind was sometimes a problem. So I bought the Windpro, only a couple of ounces heavier than the Superfly. It's windscreen is like the Whisperlite and very effective.

The reason for the unexplained aluminum disk is likely the same as for the disk that comes with the Whisperlite. It's to protect the surface you put the stove on. This is mainly for when you cook on a wooden picnic table or use some flat piece of driftwood for your cook bench. With the windscreen in place around a larger pot, there's a lot of heat reflected down. It is enough to char wood.
