Weighing just 6.8 ounces, the MSR WindPro camping stove is highly rated for campers who need to minimize packing weight. The WindPro uses a hose to connect the stove and the propane/isobutene fuel canister -- this lets campers set the burner on its own stand, so you can use a wind screen (included), larger pots or a camp oven. In reviews, owners praise the WindPro's wide flame and delicate control. In cold weather, you can use the fuel canister upside down for better efficiency. Campers in high elevations or very cold climates may want to invest in the MSR XGK EX (*Est. $140), as it can use a variety of fuels in freezing temperatures. If you want a camp stove mainly for boiling, the MSR Reactor (*Est. $140) also gets good reviews; this model includes a pot.
We found the most thoughtful reviews for the MSR WindPro camping stove on enthusiast websites. Outside magazine gives the MSR WindPro a Best Buy tag, saying it simmers especially well and fends off the wind as advertised.
