We love the Windburner! The fastest coffee, dinners and wash water in the backcountry, even in a wind event! Lightweight and super packable, it's perfect for any expedition.

Excellent system! Performed perfectly for all our trips this summer for a party of 12. We used both the 5L and 2.5L pot for all of us and it was perfect. Uses very little fuel and cooks fast. Only drawback I see is that you can ONLY use the pots designed for the system. Also it would be a good upgrade to have the pots lock in place. Be aware the little clip that hooks the lid on has a tendency to fall off. When you get the pot use some pliers and tighten all of them - definate design flaw. It would be simple to just make these so they don't come off.

Adjustment pin on the stove is a little finicky

The pressure regulator is genius. We cooked an entire breakfast on an "empty" cartridge. The lid is likely to fail soon. One out of four stoves already has a ripped rubber knob because the locking handle is poorly designed. The stove worked well on a recent trip, but the numerous reports about the thermal switch are concerning.

Just used for a week straight. Wind performance as expected is amazing. Pot size is perfect for 2 very, very hungry people or 2 and a kid. The pot coating is impressive. It sautees veggies wonderfully. I'd cook those, transfer to a bowl, then finish cooking in the main pot. Did not miss having the skillet really. One 8oz canister lasted 5 days, could go way longer if just doing freeze dried.

I recently took the MSR Windburner Combo system on a week-long bike tour along the central coast of California. After hours of research I decided that the Windburner Combo fit the criteria I was looking for, large enough to cook for multiple riders and easy to use in the winds along the coastline. This stove not only met but it exceeded my expectations, as MSR usually does. At first I thought that the pot was a little big for what I wanted, but once I started to pack I found I could fit the stove, my bowl, a spork, lighter, coffee, and my reusable food wraps in the pot this saved space and kept the kitchen gear organized. This stove has great temperature control, I was able to boil quickly as well as keep food at a low simmer all without having to worry about the stove blowing out. Thanks to the radiant heater being fully enclosed we were able to easily cook on the beach or on the windy hillsides overlooking the ocean. The rings on the bottom of both the pot and skillet are meant to hold heat on the bottom of the cookware, but I also found that your pot or pan will always be centered on the burner which keeps even heat over the pans and adds lots of stability this is great for people who like to do more cooking while on their adventures! The ceramic coating makes the cleanup a breeze which is great after a long day of riding. The pot lid is also worth mentioning, being made from aluminum it cools quickly so you don't have to worry about it being too hot for too long, also speaking of hot lids the lid has a built-in strainer with a lid latch so you don't have to hold that hot lid while straining your pastas. I also found that if you don't have a convenient place to set your lid while cooking you can attach it to the handle to keep it off the ground and out of the way. The addition of the skillet was very nice it gave us multiple ways to cook and make more than one type of food at a time.
