As of Norway, we have three weeks above the mitgehabt multifuel stove "MSR Dragonfly and tested for heart and kidney. The results and findings I will not hide from you.
was located in the fashionable, hexagonal cardboard box next to the intrinsically Lichen MSR burner in a nylon bag or the pump of red plastic, a 22 oz (0.66 l) fuel bottle in painted metal, a windshield made of soft aluminum (consisting of a floor and a portion of the pages), a repair and maintenance kit with various items and a multilingual instruction manual. We the stove with "Primus PowerFuel " have operated since we could take the fuel, yes. Thus, we should have seen the best and cleanest possible burning performance. The focal power with other substances, I will submit, if I put in the position I came to have to carry the poor MSR with cooking oil or kerosene ...
Otherwise, we have the supplied windshield not so much trust in us and yet acquired a somewhat more massive Faltwindschutz . This has proved very successful, especially since it can be fixed with two small metal pins in the ground. However, we have used the supplied by MSR aluminum floor to have a better heat reflection from the bottom. This is even after umpteen times on and fold up amazingly still usable. However, it is only a matter of time until the folds of the aluminum is sometimes carried. The fuel bottle comes with a screw cap, which one does not, however, if you have screwed the pump. The bottle's not much to say: red, metal and dense. The pump, however, is more interesting. It is almost entirely of plastic and consists of the guide for the Pumpenpömpel, the suction pipe and a shut-off valve for the fuel. It is screwed onto the bottle and connected to the fuel line of the burner. The insured with rubber seal joint of pipe to the pump is fixed with a sort of metal bracket that is part of the line. This works simply and easily and holds great. Another later to the pump.
The burner itself has three stands, which can be folded outward. This is the Bearing surface for the stove down and the pots set up. The stove is super shaky and not really, if the ground is ok. Above is enough support surface for cookware . Even my small espresso machine is not "fail". The fuel line is protected with a flexible wire mesh. In addition to the valve at the pump, the burner, a valve to regulate and ensure that the bottle can be filled by the burner kept separate. Bottom of the burner is a wick made of cloth, which can used in conjunction with a first sip of fuel for heating the nozzle. The operation of the cooker is simple. Valves to. Pumps. Cylinder valve. incorporated through the cooking fuel valve slightly to let the wick. Kindling. Wait. Boiler valve, then close that's it. It should be noted that the pump is really a bit sluggish in part and we are somewhat cautious with regard to the fact that the pump is made of plastic, should be. I have to say very clearly that as the pump from Primus that comes with a metal rod, therefore, the whole thing already gives more stability, but also heavier.
The focal performance of MSR stove other hand, is great. Together with the wind protection was the pasta water faster to cook than the competition. He particularly seems to me above all to be much more economical, compared to the Optimus Nova. This aspect should not be neglected and that surprised me very positively. The meal is cooked first, one should "burn out" as to instructions to the boil by the valve on the bottle close to the left in the fuel line still to burn. Unfortunately, this works only in theory or in still air. To disassemble my Sifft still a little gasoline on the finger. This is the Optimus solved better, since one can turn around the bottle so that the Ansaugrüssel hangs in the bottle in the air and burns it on all the remaining fuel pressure in the line yet. Whether this also the MSR goes, I have not tried to my shame. I will catch up but still! My conclusion: as a cheap entry level model in the multi-fuel stove is a MSR is a good choice. If the investment may be a little higher, I would prefer a burner with a little more solid pump design. The wind protection is good only count when it comes to every gram of weight. Our combination with the Faltwindschutz has proved great. Otherwise, the MSR has always performed reliably without complaint with constant power its service.
Here are a few more details: when
stove in!
