G'day Anthea,

As long as the metal windshield isn't heating up and touching the physical sides of the pot, and the flames from the Whisperlite are not exceeding the max flame circle printed on the base of all X-range cook wear, you shouldn't have any trouble!

G'day Meredith,

We don't currently have any stock to physically try this out for you, but based on what we know these pot sets are a little too small for the Whisperlite Stove. The burner is a little larger than your average hike style stove, so we'd recommend a pot set with a wider base of support like the MSR SS Alpine Set, or the MSR Ceramic Pots.

G'day Nick,

The Furno Large Cookset & Kettle is a good option to use on the Whisperlite stove, however, you can use most of the wider based pot sets in the Hiking Cookware category will also suit. The Sea to Summit Sigma Pots and the MSR SS Alpine Cooksets are quite popular.

G'day Patrick,

It's not something we've been asked before, or something we'd recommend to be honest as they've not been designed for heavy cast iron pots. MSR stipulate that pots larger than 25cm diameter shouldn't be used, which would rule out most camp ovens, other than maybe a 2 Quart size, but even then it's not something we'd really recommend. 

G'day James,

Thanks for getting in touch, we're not aware of any specific issues with the fuel pump, but it could be that people have issues if they're always running these on petrol. They will run best on shellite, and it is recommended that shellite be the main fuel source as petrol can leave behind impurities that could clog up your pump. If you're regularly using petrol then it might need a little more regular maintenance. If there are any warrant related issues then these can be assessed and addressed by our national warranties team for you.

G'day Jason,

I've just double checked the manual and chatted to one of the staff members who has the Whisperlite International and he said there is just one jet in the stove so you can use shellite without having to switch or change anything. He did suggest that using shellite will give you the cleanest and fastest burn. 

G'day Jason,

Generally, the Whisperlite International Multi Fuel Stove will run the cleanest and hottest on Shellite. Shellite is different to Turpentine so they're not able to be interchanged. 

G'day Adriane,

The Whisperlite International Multi-Fuel Stove can be used with Shellite or Kerosene. You should be able to pick this up from most camping or hardware stores. You won't be able to use gas with this stove. 

G'day Christian,

Sorry mate but the MSR Whisperlite International won't run on methylated spirits. It's designed to burn shellite, kerosene or unleaded fuel. If you're after a stove that runs on methylated spirits have a look at our range of stoves from Trangia here. 

G'day Andrew,

The MSR Whisperlite International Multi Fuel Stove doesn't come with the fuel bottle, they're sold separately. You can grab one of the fuel bottles here. 

G'day Paul,

The only way to control the temperature of the MSR Whisperlite International Multi-Fuel Stove is to reduce the flow of fuel through the fuel bottle valve. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a regulator to allow you additional controls to maximise simmer options.
