MSR Firepot

They seem to be having some problems, the nature of which are unclear to me. All production may go to military and may be a bit heavy for backpackers. That is also unclear. See http://www.vapore.com/fuelvaporization.htm
for information on the technology.

And here is an engineer’s view:

I was refering to the canister version of this stove, although the capilary version also looks cool :-)

For what it’s worth, an MSR rep told me in February via email that they were looking at “the 2007 season”.

I inquired whether that referred to the winter or summer season of 2007, and he said he didn’t know.
