What's it for? Backpacking? High country? Or a day pack stove?
 Reason I ask... A lot of dudes dint realize the propane fuel sucks at altitude on cold days, spitters, sputters, and sometimes flat out don't work..
If your not a high country cold weather dude, she be alright...
Thing to think about, is you still need to store it in your pack, shy of stuffing your pan with paper clothing etc, it's gonna rattle like hell when u put ur stove and fuel inside it..

A easy all in one is a Jet Boil.. Used to hate em until they fixed their auto ignite (and came out with a french press :chuckle:) Pretty small, fuel source, stove, and pan all together.. Quiet, light weight, and fancy! Plus, four a double serving Mountain House meal, its perfect amount. Does me an the ol' lady awesome for multi day backpack hunts!

Just my experience.... I've had em all, and for size weight, simplicity, and option's its hard to beat a Jet Boil....

I have the MSR pretty much the same as posted along with a jet boil. I bought the MSR just to carry as a backup. My JB died on a trip due to neglect. JB packs down as small or smaller by the time you get a pan or cup. I go three or four days easily with camping food and make plenty of coffee with the press in the JB. Having both options is great when you have a second person. The JB is also great for coffee for fishing trips.

I have had a Snow Peak stove for about ten years. It is very light and dependable.  Do not count on the piezo lighter always working: carry something like matches in case it fails.  Other than that, no complaints.

If you want something that boils water extremely fast, get the MSR Reactor Stove.  There is absolutely nothing faster including Jet Boils.  It is heavier and has no temperature control: on or off.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

The SnowPeak kit's are a great choice for lightweight backpacking or to carry in your day pack. It's lighter than the JetBoil and a bit more compact. Good little kit IMO.

I have used the whisper lite international since 1992, have only gone through two of them and they burn all types of fuel. Can heat up a canteen cup of water in about 3 minutes

I've had the snowpeak gigapower for 7 years. Works great.

Also have had the whisperlite int. for 15 years. Works good.
