The Best Backpacking Stoves announced by OutsidePursuits.comOutsidePursuits.com recently announced the results of their Editors' choice awards for the top rated Backpacking Stoves.
By: Outside Pursuits The Winners are: Editors' Choice - MSR WhisperLite Liquid-Fuel Stove The MSR WhisperLite stove has been around for decades and is the "gold" standard for what a backpacking stove should be. Lightweight and reliable, the stove just works no matter the conditions. It operates from a white gas fuel canister and its only drawback is the lack of an electronic lighting mechanism. Top Pick - MSR WindBurner Stove System The MSR WindBurner is a very different style of stove than the MSR WhisperLite. This stove is primarily designed for use in heating water for freeze dried foods and soups. It has a one liter cooking cup and can be brought to a boil in under two minutes. It features a safety turn off mechanism so that the stove cannot overheat to a dangerous temperature. Best Buy - Optimus Crux Lite Stove With Terra Cook Set Similar to the MSR WindBurner, the Optimus Crux stove comes with a smaller cup for heating up water but also includes a sauce pan giving the backpacker more versatility in what can be cooked. One of its best features is the fact that it is integrated and all pieces of the stove fit together for easy transport. While it doesn't heat as fast as some other stoves, it wins the "Best Buy" award for its unique design.
