help MSR Dragonfly FAQ
Which fuels can the MSR DragonFly burn?
The DragonFly is designed for several liquid fuels, including white gas, kerosene and diesel, using the appropriate jet. MSR recommends white gas where available because it generally burns more cleanly than automotive fuel.
Can the DragonFly simmer, or is it only for boiling water?
It can simmer because its dual-valve design provides substantially finer flame control than many liquid-fuel stoves. That makes it useful for frying and cooking sauces, not just melting snow or boiling water.
How heavy is the MSR DragonFly?
MSR lists a minimum weight of 14.1 ounces, or 401 grams, and a packaged weight of 17.8 ounces, or 506 grams. The fuel bottle is sold separately, so the complete carried system weighs more.
How does the DragonFly compare with the MSR WhisperLite International?
The DragonFly offers finer simmer control and supports pots up to 10 inches in diameter, but it is heavier and notably loud. Its pump is also DragonFly-specific rather than the standard pump used by most other MSR liquid-fuel stoves.
