corvallisclimb Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Hey I all I just got an MSR windpro stove for a little backpacking with my grilfriend. Were taking a 5 or 6 night trip and I'm wondering how much fuel this thing uses. As I have not gotten to use it to feel it out yet. This going to be one of those trips where every once counts... so how many 8oz fuel cannisters, 2 or 3? Well be using it for dinner and breakfast. mostly boiling water and stuff but cooking some meals 2 or 3 nights, and making freezedried eggs and warming precooked bacon. sorry for the dumb noob question. but i hate carrying extra shit.

DPS Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As long as you aren't melting snow for water, just heating liquid water for cooking then 2 8 oz cannisters should be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSky Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Two should be plenty. In the event of shortage, flip the canister upside down and squeak out a few more btu's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
