User Review: MSR SimmerLite

MSR SimmerLite
Above: The current SimmerLite, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4.5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $87

This review is an update to my previous one. I am going to eat a bit of crow here.

As I mentioned I was going to try it out on a camping trip to Jasper National Park in Alberta.

I found that this stove worked very well for my purposes...making a hot meal and drink. Ok, so you can't get a true simmer on it (like I was going to make a cream sauce in the Rocky Mountains!). I did find that I could get some decent flame control from it after I got used to it and what that did was prevent things from boiling over.

The stove also fits into my small pot with a lid and so gets good marks for compactability.

I have therefore upped my rating to 4.5 stars.
