New Stoves From Msr

It looks similar MSR is putting out three, count 'em, 3 novel stoves.


UPDATED 9/6/2011 See also this related shipping which contains videos of the novel MSR Whisperlite Universal.

UPDATED 10/4/2011I pick out written a review of the MSR Whisperlite Universal.


The outset is the MicroRocket.


Basically, the MicroRocket looks similar it's simply a lighter version of the PocketRocket, but alongside some kid improvements. In particular, the pot supports are shorter as well as supposedly (per MSR) stronger, which would become a long means toward correcting the PocketRocket's Achilles heel.  Reportedly, the MicroRocket volition live 15% lighter than the PocketRocket which would hateful that the MicroRocket would weigh well-nigh 2.5 oz.  Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 German linguistic communication press free I saw lists the weight at 75g which would live 2.6 oz.  Either way, it's a really nice, low-cal stove.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 minute "improvement" is the add-on of a split piezoelectric starter (see outset photo). The starter is a stand upwards lonely unit of measurement non built into the stove. I'm non quite certain well-nigh the utility of this. Why non simply pick out matches, a lighter, or a firesteel?  Matches, a lighter, or a firesteel seem similar they'd live a lot to a greater extent than versatile. With matches, a lighter, or a firesteel, 1 tin low-cal a diverseness of fires, non simply a stove.  I haven't seen MSR's piezoelectric starter, but I mean value a piezoelectric starter would exclusively operate on a stove.  It'll live interesting to encounter if their split piezoelectric starter catches on.

The pot supports on the novel MicroRocket crease upwards a fleck differently as well as the valve command folds over the torso of the stove.  It all collapses downwardly into what looks to live a really compact packet indeed.

The novel illustration for the MicroRocket looks to a greater extent than compact overall when compared to the illustration for the PocketRocket.

Here's Steve Grimes of MSR discussing the novel MicroRocket:



The minute novel stove is the Whisperlite Universal which is a "hybrid" stove (MSR's words) that volition move both liquid fuel as well as gas.






Apparently the Universal is a Whisperlite Internationale alongside pregnant revisions. Gone are the wire legs, as well as the generator has been significantly revised. Note also the dark plastic canister stand upwards which holds the canister upside down. It appears that MSR is finally conceding that their remote canister stoves operate alongside the canister inverted (i.e. liquid feed), a fact that they pick out mysteriously downplayed for years. It's a wonder that MSR wouldn't marketplace the heck out of the fact that their remote canister stoves tin operate alongside the canister inverted since an inverted canister stove tin operate inwards temperatures at to the lowest degree xx degrees Fahrenheit (about 10 degrees Celsius) colder than conventional upright canister stoves. The Whisperlite Universal supposedly has multiple connectors that tin live swapped out for purpose alongside gas or liquid fuel. The Whisperlite Universal comes alongside 3 jets (much similar a Primus Omnifuel) for purpose alongside differing fuels.

A closer await at the burner of the MSR Whisperlite Universal

From what I tin encounter as well as thus far, this novel Whisperlite should live a really interesting stove capable of a broad diverseness of modes: upright (vapor feed) gas, inverted (liquid feed) gas, as well as liquid fuel (white gasoline or kerosene). Let's promise that they pick out non exclusively added a novel fuel to the quondam Internationale's repertoire but also increased the Internationale's reliability alongside kerosene.  If inwards fact the Whisperlite Universal does pick out increased reliability alongside kerosene, the Universal mightiness indeed live a actually proficient pick for the globe traveler, especially if the Universal were to a greater extent than accessible from a toll perspective.  Stoves currently on the marketplace that move gas, white gasoline, as well as kerosene tend to live pretty expensive.

The novel Whisperlite Universal seems to pick out an upgraded fuel line.  The fuel trouble on newer MSR stoves similar the Simmerlite as well as Windpro is thinner as well as to a greater extent than flexible, making the stove easier to pack.  It looks similar the Whisperlite has directly also been upgraded to the novel to a greater extent than flexible fuel line.  Assuming the novel fuel trouble is simply equally reliable equally the quondam one, the to a greater extent than flexible fuel trouble is a modify I heartily applaud.

It's possible, but I don't know this for a fact, that the novel Whisperlite Universal volition live a lighter stove than either the regular Whisperlite or the Whisperlite Internationale.  I tell this simply based on the legs as well as the overall await of the stove.  Of course, whatever weight shed on the legs may live regained depending on how they produce the connectors.  Assuming that the novel Whisperlite Universal uses the touchstone MSR duraseal pump (look at the photograph below; honour the duraseal pump inwards her hand), in that location volition pick out to live some sort adapter that the fuel hose volition plug into as well as thus that a either a touchstone pump or gas canister tin live attached.
MSR is smart, they pick out made the Whisperlite Universal as well as thus 1 doesn't pick out to acquit the canister stand upwards inwards warm weather, when yous actually don't need to invert the canister.

Here's a video on the Whisperlite Universal:




Lastly, the 3rd "new" stove:  The Windpro II.  MSR has improved the Windpro yesteryear adding a rotating coupler as well as including a canister stand upwards that holds the canister inwards inverted position.  Again, it looks equally though MSR is finally publicly acknowledging that their remote canister stoves tin live used inwards inverted canister vogue (liquid feed).  It's interesting to me that it took them this long to admit what has been in that location all along.  They spent a lot of coin on the Reactor, which they force equally a high destination mountaineering stove, when they had a gas stove that would operate inwards much colder conditions means earlier anyone fifty-fifty idea of the Reactor.

Here are a twosome of photos of the new, improved Windpro II.  In the outset photo, banking concern notation the MSR Whisperlite Universal inwards the background which appears to purpose the same canister stand.


Here's a video on the Windpro II



I don't pick out whatever photos, but per a press free dated July eighteen from Cascade Designs, patently MSR has also upgraded the Whisperlite Internationale if I'm reading things correctly, as well as thus it looks equally though in that location volition live 3 versions of the Whisperlite sold:
The regular Whisperlite
The Whisperlite Internationale (Improved Version)
The Whisperlite Universal
Perhaps no changes are existence made to the regular Whisperlite?

All of the novel stoves should live available inwards Jan 2012.
