Used on Aconcagua with 3 nights at 20k for a great Summit. Efficient and effective for boiling water from glacial run off. With only snow available above 20k, would have preferred an XGK. Went through gas very quickly at those temps and at altitude. Preformed very well for 3 overall. Would take again. Packs up great, but ensure you pad stove and canister tightly in pot before transport on mules or airplane, titanium pot is naturally soft and will bend and scratch easily. Low profile was great in the winds with confined space use.

This stove system does a terrific job. It’s very well made boils super fast in all conditions and doesn’t use much fuel in the process. Ya it’s a little on the heavy side so if you’re wanting to go ultra light you’ll probably consider something else.

I really like the size and compact design. Great for camping, hiking, fishing, or hunting. Boils water fast to enjoy morning coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this stove for a multi-day, backpacking trip where there would be three people in our group. As a means to boil sufficient water for three meals, it performed exquisitely. The radiant burner is extremely windproof and efficient. I was able to boil 5 to 6 cups of water in about six minutes. I used less than one 450 g fuel canister over four days. overall, it performed as I expected, and we were not disappointed. It is not a light stove, but it is perfect for a larger group. The quality of the build is also exceptional and met my high expectations.

It’s a great product. Quality construction and ease of use. I feel like its to big for just a one person hunting trip. But it did the job it was intended to do. I would recommend this to anyone that needs a portable stove.

Base was very sturdy and folded up very compact. Boils water very fast compared to my 30 yo whisperlite.

Perfect size for 2 person climbing system or a luxurious sea kayaking setup for 1-2 people. Much more stable for bigger pots and use of the frying pan. Also nice to accommodate a larger fuel canister in the pot. I regularly make Quesadillas and sautay veggies and sausage with this system or fit a few boil in the bags in the pot.

There's a lot to love about my Windburner Duo. It's incredibly fast and efficient, especially in the wind and it's a perfect size for two people. And unlike the personal, the stove sits on the ground so the pot doesn't sit nearly as tall. As a bonus, the stove fits perfectly inside the personal pot so you can buy that separately if you want a system which will cater to both the solo and group user. My main gripe has to do with the bowl. The bowl is useful but from time to time, it seems to get stuck on the bottom of the pot. When this happens, I'm forced to spend a few minutes fiddling around before it comes off. My other complaint is with the plastic lid in that its never able to pour water without dribbling down the side. I make sure to always seal the lid but I always lose around 1/10th of my water as it gets diverted to the ground.

Took this camping with a group. Water was boiled before other stoves were even done setting up. Impressive!

We have purchased several Windburner Group Cooking Systems for use on Sierra Club National Outings backpack trips in the Rocky Mountain Region. The performance, efficiency, reliability, and ease of use is a whole new level for group cooking. The one issue we have is that the 4.5 L pot isn't quite big enough for group size greater than 8-10 or so, and we often run trips with 12 to 15 total people including leaders. Having a 6.5 L pot would make this truly a group cooking system. Just make a taller version of the 4.5L pot. - chair, Rocky Mountain Subcommittee, Sierra Club National Outings

This is an awesome product I have used for years. It is ideal for a couple on extended trips. We have used it from Alaska to West Virginia camping on backpack and rafting trips

It’s the best choice for snow camping in the Cascades.

The unit is most excellent in function, operation, performance and value. Thanks for making such a great stove product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely easy to use. After using whisper lights my entire life. This has added a very convenient (quick setup & boil) element to trips. At any given stop a hot drink or snack fits right in. (about 12 minutes faster) Robust feel and design, would take effort to break. 8oz can fits nicely inside the 1.8L stove. And good for boiling 15-20L of water

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was trying to decide this MSR or the slightly cheaper JB. I got both and sent back the JB. The MSR is better built than most, has a better warranty, and is mostly made in Seattle. I haven't invested in the MSR cookware yet, but there are very simple mods that allow you to use other cookware. Nice and stable, fast boil, good heat control, works well in wind. Looking forward to using this more this summer.
