Our Five Most Popular Backpacking Stoves
1. Jetboil Personal Cooking System. The award-winning Jetboil PCS integrated backpacking stove brings stove and pot together in a single, nicely designed package. No assembly or priming is required, and no matches thanks to the built-in igniter. The Anodized aluminum cooking cup holds 1 liter of water, and the wind-protected, adjustible burner heats it up fast. Not the stove for any gourmet wilderness cooking, but a great choice for light - ultralight backpacking. Total system weight is 15.25 oz.: stove weighs 6 oz. and cooking cup with lid weighs 9.25 oz. For or greater capacity, check the 1.5 liter Jetboil Group Cooking System. 2. MSR Whisperlite. The longtime liquid fuel stove of choice for gazillions of backpackers worldwide. The Whisperlite Internationale (14 ounces) burns a range of liquid fuel types, including unleaded gasoline in a pinch. It's cousin the Whisperlite ShakerJet (13.1 ounces) is a white gas purist. The self-cleaning "shaker jet" feature unclogs the needle as you hike. Compact and powerful, the Whisperlite Backpacking Stove is a classic with all the bugs worked out.
3. MSR Pocket Rocket. The Pocket Rocket is just as small and powerful as it's name implies, and is unbeatable in the under $50 price range. A great choice for travel, as long as you take along fuel canisters. For basic backpacking it's hard to turn down a three ounce stove that requires no pumping or priming and can boil a liter of water in four minutes. 3.3 ounces.
4. Optimus Nova. The venerable Optimus Nova multifuel stove is a thing of beauty. This one does it all. Burns pretty much anything and delivers both power and flame control, even in difficult weather conditions. Owners love the Nova for its combination of versatility and durability. 15.1 ounces.
5. MSR Dragonfly. What makes the Dragonfly so good? Great overall design, stability, and superior temperature control thanks to its unique double control valve system. It burns almost any liquid fuel, which makes it a popular choice for international travel. Is it better than the Whisperlite? We're not here to settle that debate. But if you want to not just boil water but COOK, look no further. 15.7 ounces.
