MSR Dragonfly Camp Stove
Recently started using an MSR Dragonfly stove after having used Coleman Peak 1 and a Bluet. The Dragonfly is a multi-fuel capable unit that will use regular gasoline. Now I carry 26 litres of camp fuel with me all the time! An optional 300 ml fuel canister is all I take along now and I just use a quick disconnect to drain a little gasoline from the motorcycle tank into the canister. Then, after dinner, I just pour the remaining fuel back into the tank. Handy!
The stove runs best on white gas (Coleman fuel) so that is how it is used when backpacking. Gasoline burns a little sootier but it still boils water quickly and simmers without difficulty. The stove is quite stable and comes with a windscreen.
The only downside so far is the noise. It almost sounds like a jet engine!
Overall I give this item a thumbs up.
