Stove comes with bag,aluminium wind shield and small handy tool.ideal for a single gas stove set up..had a few issues with flare ups initially in a full cannister so make sure you are ready to ignite immediately..stable legs use aluminium base id ground is loose eg gravel.

I was looking for a remote canister stove with a heating tube, this knocked it out of the park. Very high quality, packs down smallish for a remote stove, works well in wind, burns butane, isopro, and straight propane really well.

The stove is ok but the burner head is oversized for any backpack cookware i own...ok for a frying pan. I would be ok with $60 but if the kovea i ordered works well then i'll return the overpriced windpro.

I've been using this stove regularly for a few years now. Originally purchased for a 12 day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in NM. I've also loaned it out to my brother for his 21 day Rayado trek, and it is currently with him this summer as he works as a Philmont Ranger. It's been my go to stove when I'm out with a group backpacking and we'll be cooking dinners as a group. The included windscreen has held up nicely, though I've had a small tear develop in the ground heat reflector from repeated folding. Performed very well at all elevations where we camped, up to 11,000'. I did not carry the fuel stand for inverting, it works well, but decided that the stove was heavy enough without it.Large pots remained fairly stable, though not nearly as comfortable as using an MSR Dragonfly. I'd say it's about perfect for group cooking for up to 6-7 people. Pots larger than that, go with the Dragonfly. The extra weight is worth the improved stability.No gripes, no problems. I've not had to disassemble for any cleaning, the jet hasn't clogged once, using many different fuels including MSR IsoPro, Snow Peak Gigapower, Coleman canisters, and Optimus Gas.

After a season's use I have come to love this little stove! I upgraded from the MSR PocketRocket which was a little small for what I need it for. This one is a little larger and much more manageable. I bought a better wind-screen (HIGHROCK® Lightweight Compact Folding Camp Stove Windscreen) that is not as flimsy as the one that comes with it and I am glad I did. This past season was not as windy as the one before but it stood up to all elements it encountered. I never had to invert the fuel canister, even in colder weather.It's easy to operate and heats up fast.The only con I have experienced with this stove is it's pack-ability. The outsides fold in on themselves and stick out a little from the center. It just gets placed in a bag with the rest of the supplies and I feel like I wish it were a little more protected.

I bought this stove for use as a guide in New Mexico, at altitudes that range from 7,000-11,000 ft. At first, with little knowledge about backpacking stoves, I was quite skeptical about paying $70+ for a stove when I could find a smaller/cheaper one for $10. (I'm looking at you, Etekcity)I WILL NEVER GO BACK.In my indoor test run, the WindPro II easily boiled water faster than my home gas stove, and also allowed for enough temperature control that I could successfully make a pancake without burning it. I was not expecting to have as much simmer control, and was astounded by this stove's efficiency.It just so happened that on the day I received my WindPro II, temperatures hovered around -4 degrees fahrenheit. I tested the stove's cold weather capabilities by packing the set into my backpack and setting it outside for an hour. Although there was a significant change in the initial performance, once I had inverted the canister, I was again surprised by the amount of heat this guy was able to put out against both subzero temps and 15 mph winds (sans windshield).If you're looking for something durable, easy to use, and powerful... look no further.Easily one of the best stove systems I've seen in my search for the perfect backcountry, group cooking system.

This is a great product. Works well. 4.5 stars. But I don't like the aluminum wind screen and heat shield they provide with it. Very cheap; wont' last. I purchased a different wind screen that folds up. I would have also liked if they provided some container to store it to avoid damaging the stove when it's in the pack. It's lights easy. I'm going to take it on a canoe trip to the boundary waters canoe area.

Out of the box impressions:A $100 msrp seems high so I'm glad I got it for the $75 price tag here. Solid and simple design - particularly with the legs, low profile, light, has a good, reliable feel.I did a ramen test for its first burn with a nearly empty canister. It took a few minutes to get a good boil going, but this was all on low fuel in pretty cold temperatures in my garage. Seemed to perform pretty well though.The few problems I have are pretty insignificant, i.e. - its a little more tricky to find that sweet spot on the valve where I can turn it quickly so the valve does spew out some gas when connecting or disconnecting a canister or finding a way to pack the hose down besides wrapping it around the stove. But these aren't quality affecting factors. Overall, I'm pretty happy. I only wish I would've bought it in the first place rather than the Snow Peak BiPod stove I got - which is a good little stove with an interesting design concept, but with how close the average price is between them, the Windpro II is a better option, particularly since it's all the more allowable for a windscreen and doesn't require quite as much of a footprint; and even though I'm not for cold weather outdoor recreation, having the ability to operate in cold weather adds to its emergency prep value for me, as well as being able to use all of the fuel left in a nearly empty canister in liquid feed mode. I also have a Pocket Rocket which can make an excellent sidekick to the Windpro II. MSR is a bit of a pricy name brand but if you can find a deal like a $25 price drop on Amazon, it makes it more worth your while.
