Overview
A solo backpacker gets a full backcountry kitchen from the MSR WindBurner: the stove, a pot, a bowl and a drinking lid packed as one system. It burns isobutane, is designed to resist wind, and has an aluminum build.
Having the pot, bowl and lid matched to the burner removes the work of assembling a kit, and the windproof design helps on exposed campsites. Heat output and boil time are not stated, and the system is sized for one person more than a group.
Who it's for
Windy campsites and long hikes with one person are the setting here, since stove, pot and bowl travel together. Groups cooking full meals should look at a standalone burner with a bigger cookset.
Pros and cons
- Windproof design for exposed sites
- Pot, bowl and lid included
- Lid works for drinking and straining
- Backed by a limited warranty
- Fuel canister not in the included list
- Boil time and heat output not listed
- Sized for one person
Performance notes
Real boil performance depends on how well the windproof design shields the flame and on the isobutane canister in use. With no published heat output, plan fuel by testing on a short trip before relying on it for a long one.

Can the MSR WindBurner run on liquid fuel?
No fuel other than isobutane is listed for this stove. Treat it as an isobutane system only.
Is the MSR WindBurner sized for a group?
