I've been working on a review of the new MSR Whisperlite Universal.

The big news is that the new Whisperlite Universal will run on gas as well as liquid fuel.

Running on canister gas. NICE big flames.

My review of the new MSR Whisperlite Universal is complete and now available:
MSR Whisperlite Universal Review.

By the way, Seattle Backpackers Magazine is a worthwhile read even if you're not interested in my particular article.

Configuring the stove for different fuels:


More photos:

Running on white gasoline (Coleman fuel).


Putting out some heat!

Running on kerosene.


Stove testing at First Water on the Mt. Wilson Trail.

It's a really nice stove and a really nice job by MSR.

Nice stove! Who would have thought they could adapt a stove to use either Coleman fuel (white gas) or propane/canister gas?

Your video review is good, and your assistant's comments made it even better. cool


By the way, I remember the old "universal" MSR: it could burn gasoline or kerosene.

I love my assistant. She's actually my technical adviser. wink

It's pretty sweet running a Whisperlite on gas: no priming. And because the canister can be turned upside down, you can run with gas down pretty easily to 0F, which means that the Whisperlite Universal is a pretty good winter gas stove.

For sub-zero (F) temps, then you need to switch to either gasoline or kerosene.
