Experiments with cheap chinese silent caps

But who doesn't love the roar of a MSR Firefly??

iWalker as seen on AliExpress sure works for me ..
Would need legs but does work

 

That’s a nice blue flame

 

My vote for one of the best stoves MSR ever made. (But I'm biased)

 

I agree. Not supposed to simmer well, but it does. I like it for fixing pasta on a bp trip, using a large pot not normally taken for bping. Works for breakfast too.

Agreed. Shame they discontinued it, although the Dragonfly did succeed it spiritually. Glad I found one in primo condition.

 

The Firefly, and its huge windscreen, were destined to end.

 

HI, Guys,

IMHO, the Firefly was one of MSR's best stoves. People complain about the windscreen, but using "truncated" pot sets nest perfectly with the windscreen! Boils water like the seven hells, and also simmers very nicely! Mike Ridout, one of MSR's original stove techs, replaced my FF fuel line with the newer sintered brass covered fuel line. It's worked perfectly ever since! The silent cap in these photos, which, sorry to say, are not too good, is one I borrowed from a Perfektus stove.





I wish MSR still did the retro-fit for a new fuel line!

Every Good Wish,
Doc
