The MSR DragonFly liquid-fuel camp stove takes precision-simmering performance and puts it in a chassis that's built to handle a variety of fuels and the frequent use dished-out by global vagabonds.

Tough and stable, it excels in institutional and guide service settings. Its dual-valve design gives you the flame control you need for evenly heating large pots (up to 9" maximum diameter) of crowd-pleasing gruel. Of course, when the need arises to melt snow and brew-up fast, the DragonFly goes from zero to searing at the twist of a knob.

3 stars A fragile and complicated performer Written by Richard

Having owned three (see below!) of these stoves I feel I have explored its strengths and weaknesses. It is easy to use and works well on a variety of fuels. It will work reliably on petrol and paraffin for long periods, provided it is not over- driven, when it will tend to carbonise internally. The shaker jet should be operated before each set-up to avoid blockage of the vapour jet. The simmer control aids cooking and saves fuel. Against it is the fact that the thread of the needle valve body is easily stripped and absolutely must not be closed tight- turn off using the main control valve, as per the manual. A user needs to thoroughly understand the function of all components, be able to strip and re-build in the rough, and carry a complete set of spare "O" rings to combat occasional internal blockages and fuel leaks. Finally, set-up and re-pack are quite slow compared to, say, a gas stove. Choose this if you are contemplating a long journey with infrequent opportunities to buy specialist fuels.
