In reply to Derek Hairon's request to relate experience with the MSR Dragonfly stove with an adjustable flame, I have used one about 4 times. I purchased it in an effort to keep the temperature somewhere in the proper "BAKE" range on my Outback Oven. I have used it for that purpose and to cook pasta. Like the Whisperlite and XGK stoves, the Dragonfly boils water swiftly. The flame can be adjusted fairly easily although the metal adjusting knob under the stove can be a little awkward to get at while cooking with a big pan. It may also get hot. Baking temperature control with the oven remains something of an art, even with the adjustable stove. I think I need to get a feel of when to turn the flame down. Approximate temperatures and times usually yield decent baked goods in the Outback Oven, though. The Dragonfly did go out unexpectedly once but that problem did not recur the next several times I used it. It uses a shaker jet like the XGK. I have not tried to see whether it is compatible with the stove stand I had purchased for use with the other stoves. I hope this helps. I should check out the published review mentioned by other subscribers. I have not read it. Doug Hammond, CT _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
