Comments about M S R MSR® Dragonfly™ Stove:
We've been using this stove for 7 years backpacking, canoeing, hunting and winter camping. This is, without doubt, the best backpacking stove for frying fish on the market. Stable, fantastic heat control and easy on fuel. The pilot light is very nice while winter camping. It allows the stove to stay lit while consuming very little fuel inbetween cooking tasks. This means I don't have to take off my gloves and re-light the stove. A huge plus when it's below zero.
This stove has become mandatory gear for every BWCA trip as well as any trip where we processing fish or game in the field via backpack or canoe.

Comments about M S R MSR® Dragonfly™ Stove:
The MSR Dragonfly is a great little stove! It's powerful, easy to use, has great simmer capability, requires minimal maintenance, and burns a multitude of fuels. With that said, the Dragonfly is also extremely loud! When it's on high, it can be heard from 50 feet away, and easily drowns out all conversations within 20 feet. If you're looking for peace and serenity, buy the MSR Whisperlite or the XGK.

Comments about M S R MSR® Dragonfly™ Stove:
The MSR Dragonfly is not the most lightweight option for backpackers, but it is reliable and versatile. For an extended stay out in the wild, I'd prefer to have this with me, knowing it can take cold temps and versatile fuels. It can crank out high heat fast or simmer slowly. I use the product backpacking and carry 1 cannister (partially filled) with white gas. I wish it weighed less, but now that I have it, I wouldn't leave it behind.
