derek may not find the magazine in the UK!! don't know about foreign delivery,
i don't have experience with the dragonfly, mine is the MSR XGK, which has off
and blow torch settings, in the past it has always won "fastest to boil" in
any review. also does not simmer at all. great for bachelor weekends, you know,
boil water in the morning for coffee and oatmeal, and then canned
soup/veggies/stew
for dinner ;-)
