I'm mostly content with my PocketRocket and in fact, selling my Whisperlite as I never use it. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...417725/MSR_Whisperlite_stove#Post8417725 You can remove the Jetboil pot and use it like a regular burner/stove. It works well in that configuration too. Travis Ah, I did not know this. I know you got yours a while back and are totally sold on it. But I didn't know the pot could be removed so it could be used like a conventional stove. There may be a need to check out the local outdoor store or REI this weekend! Thanks for the info.

What we're all used to seeing: Without pot: With the stove adapter (it was included with mine, not sure about other models) I can use it with my regular titanium mugs with the adapter.

The isobutene/propane is the way to go IMO. I do have an MSR Whisperlite that is a bad ass stove. But quite frankly, if it's so cold out that I need a white gas stove, I'm probably not backpacking.

If I could only have one stove, it would be liquid. For most uses, or at least three season stuff, the IsoPro are much nicer to use. IMO.

I use an Iso/propane stove for 90% of what I do (Jetboil). For cold weather I go with White Gas (Coleman Fuel) in either my old Svea 123 or MSR Whisperlite International. “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I found that carrying a bottle of lighter fluid for priming helps a lot for getting them going. The newer ones have pumps to get the priming fuel out. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

I carry an eyedropper with the stove, suck out a bit of fuel from the tank, douse the "spirit cup" and light it up... it will roar to life in any condition. I got mine in 1975 and it's still going strong. “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery
