This is a great stove and I would only buy an MSR stove for any kind of serious backcountry usage. The stove doesn't simmer in the sense of your kitchen stove (at all), but it's not too bad compare to the torch-like power of other MSR stoves (good tip from SandyBeach to use low pressure). But great for all conditions, boils water FAST and still can cook normal food on it too. Very light, field maintainable and you can be sure that MSR stands behind it's products -- I've got lots of their gear and have only good things to say about their products and customer service! And no, I don't work for them... just a big fan! Great stove!

The Simmerlite is a very versatile and powerful little stove. Also very light and compact. One trick that MSR doesn't really tell you about is to use very low fuel pressures (about 5 pumps or less)for a delicate flame. With a low enough flame I can cook perfect omelets on this stove. Burner size is good for medium to larger pots. May be almost too big for individual cooksets.
