Yes the Whisperlite is fiddly but works great with practice. It is much
less tippy than the tank-under Coleman stoves.  The Trillium stove base
stabilizes it quite nicely if you winter camp or just want more
stability. All that annoying foil makes a fantastic windscreen.  
The stove is also much tougher than it looks.
