Greatest multi-fuel for the Price!
This stove is bomb-proof. It’s more efficient than canister stoves in a wider range of circumstances. Ever had half-empty canisters with no more accelerant after a winter trip Never waste fuel again with this stove! It boils fast and furious, and can go from a rolling boil to a simmer instantly. That’s right, you can cook angel-hair pasta, rice, potatoes… virtually anything you can pack with this stove. I have been using it for about a year now and have had no problems.
Very Versatile Stove — Solid!
Have owned this stove for several years and used in all weathers - from 5 degrees and snow to driving rain - and it has performed flawlessly. Maintenance has been minimal and temperature control is outstanding — and validated by my pastry-chef-camp- pal! Stable, relatively light weight and very fuel efficient. The only items causing this to fall short of a perfect score are the relative frailty of the pump (shattered my first one with a short fall off a rock) and the loudness of the stove when on full afterburner. Otherwise, though, top-notch!
incredibly great stove
on my last backpacking trip, i was able to borrow my friend’s dragonfly, and while i probably will not be able to afford one, i was incredibly impressed by its SOLID performance. even despite my stupidity, i was able to get it started and cruising every time without a problem, even in strong winds and dampness. it boiled water quickly, and the simmer function works very well. my only qualm is the stove’s size - if you’re going to be just boiling water or doing other super simple cooking, you’d be better off with a smaller, lighter, and cheaper MSR stove. great though if you’re a backcountry chef and like doing fancy things with your cuisine. either way - highly recommended.
BUY THIS STOVE
I’ve had the dragonfly for 6 years. During those 6 years I’ve tested and sold other stoves from Vaude, Snow Peak, Coleman etc. I have yet to find a stove that is as durable and versatile. Great temp control. EASY SET-UP. Use it all year long. Handles several fuels. I cannot say enough. Time and time again I come back to using this stove. Electronic starters on other stoves are nothing more than a gimmic. Don’t get wrapped up in them. They do not work half the time anyway. Fuel canisters are a pain in the butt. You always end up with half used canisters laying around. With the dragonfly you can refill your fuel bottles. You’ll end up happy you bought this stove, do not let price deter you.
Great little stove!
I just took my first trip with this guy- light weight, sips the fuel and heats up quick. Very,very pleased with it. Make sure to buy a fuel bottle to go with it.
