I am a hiker, mountaineer and traveler. I have a MSR Wisperlite International, but need a gas stove that will function quicker and be able work on most types of gas canisters.
I am very interested in a MSR Super fly stove, which claims it will work on any gas bottle types. Someone told me that the screw type gas bottle can not be used on any stove and that the propane / benzene mixtures is different for all the different makes of stoves. And the different types thread will also be a problem.
Can anyone give advice on there personal experience with this stove and name the different makes of gas bottles it will be able to use?
In reply to M. Conradie: Thought about getting a pocket rocket due to its weight, but after careful thought, figured I d rather pay a little extra, and sacrifice a little weight for the more powerful and versatile superfly.
As far as I know, the Superfly is the only stove that will run on the standard threaded resealables (MSR, Coleman, Go Systems, Primus etc) *and* the Camping Gaz resealables...
