The MSR WindBurner Personal Stove System is a canister stove and 1.0 L pot that lock together into one unit. An enclosed radiant burner and a pressure regulator keep it boiling in wind and cold, and everything nests inside the pot.

What it's for

Boiling water and cooking simple meals for one person on backpacking, alpine and ski touring trips, especially where wind makes open flame stoves slow. Canister fuel is sold separately.

How it works

Radiant burner: the burner is enclosed by the pot instead of throwing an open flame, so wind does not blow the heat away. MSR states this gives faster boil times and more fuel efficiency than conventional stoves.

Pressure regulator: holds stove output steady as the canister empties and cools, with consistent performance down to a canister temperature of 32°F (0°C).

Heat exchanger: fins built into the bottom of the pot pull heat from the burner into the water.

Lock on pot: the pot locks onto the stove, and the stove threads onto the canister, so the system stays together when you pick it up.
