MSR WindPro Backpacking Stove
Widely considered the best remote-canister stove, the MSR WindPro is a favorite of many seasoned backpackers and climbers. Although white gas stoves with remote fuel bottles remain popular, more and more campers are catching-on to the advantages of isopropane canister fuel. The WindPro is designed for use with isopropane, which is attractive to campers because it doesn't require priming and provides heat output similar to white gas. And working in tandem with this camping stove, isopropane fuel offers precise flame adjustment. The stove itself is the lightest remote-canister stove on the market, weighing just 6.8 ounces. The WindPro is the only remote-canister stove sold with a windscreen and heat reflector and wind tests show that it performs better than the competition's remote-canister offerings. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister brings approximately 15 liters of water to a boil from a starting temperature of 21 C.

Small weight, size and ease of use.
I purchased this stove due to the small weight, size and ease of use. It requires much less hassle than a liquid stove. The only problem is no indicator for the fuel level for the canisters.

The best cannister stove out there, and a great stove all around
There are not negatives. No priming, just instant flame. The only one in its category with the windscreen, it boils more quickly than rated. I do predict that this stove will go a long way toward making liquid fuel stoves obsolete save for extreme conditions.

Wind Pro
Heavier than the Super Fly, yet being able to wrap foil tightly around unit may allow more efficient fuel use. Still wondering if the SF will blow with same treatment. Wind much better. Fuel weight per h2o heated is the diff. Love all of them...
