I need to buy a stove that will also be used by our Scout troop. Thus, I'm looking for a remote canister and the Windpro seems to be the best choice for that. I know Kovea makes several of the MSR stoves, so I'd guess there are cheaper versions out there. However, I can't find them. Any tips? Other remote canister models that may be superior in reliability or performance to the Windpro?

Aug 27, 2009 at 3:31 pm #1523275A little heavy at 39 oz, but that includes the burner, windscreen, 2L pot, lid, grips, stove tool, and cozy. That's a whole lot more gear than comes with a Windpro. And better yet, if you go to campsaver.com right now, you can get it all for $5 less than the Windpro. Amazing.
