The WhisperLite International is a pressurised liquid fuel stove that will run on white gas (Coleman Fuel), petrol and paraffin (kerosene). It is compact and folds up small, fitting inside most MSR® pots.
The most notable improvement in this version is a one-piece, stamped stainless steel leg assembly that boosts stability and simplifies maintenance while also reducing weight. This has been combined with a collection of subtle engineering refinements that boost overall efficiency.
It is important to change the jet if you are changing fuels but this is fairly easy to do. The two different jets are stamped:
UG: White Gas/Petrol.
UK: Kerosene/Paraffin.
Like all MSR stoves, the WhisperLite International is simple to maintain and uses self-cleaning Shaker Jet technology and redesigned leg assembly to facilitate fast cleaning and easy maintenance in the field.
Included are the stove, pump and a windshield and heat reflector. There is also a good stove bag.
Weight: The stove, pump, windscreen, bag, and spares weigh 432g. To this needs to be added the weight of a full fuel bottle.
NB a fuel bottle is not included and must be bought separately.
