My MSR Whisperlite International works well enough to call it simmering. It's 
also a multi fuel so I can burn kerosene where they do not have white gas. 
The Dragonfly simmered great, but the Dragonfly has a very CHEEZY weld on the 
bottom and regular use caused my 100 dollar Dragonfly to fail early on. I hate 
crap gear. The cannister stoves work great and do have a regulated flame. The 
problem is they focus the flame on a very small area and you'll carbonize 
anything in that area. There is a cannister/multifuel stove that has the more 
functional large stove surface.
