Versatile fueling for diverse environments

The WhisperLite International accepts white gas, kerosene, or unleaded auto fuel through a set of included fuel injectors.

• Lightweight stainless steel legs with smart stamping
• Compact form that nests inside common MSR pots

Reliability and ease of maintenance

Field maintenance matters, and the WhisperLite International delivers. Self-cleaning Shaker Jet technology supports quick cleaning, while the one-piece leg assembly simplifies setup and servicing. The stove arrives with a practical kit that keeps you prepared for on-trail challenges, reducing downtime between meals.
