In the early 1970s, Mountain Safety Research (MSR) designed a pressurized burner stove intended to address performance shortcomings of white gas stoves in cold or adverse conditions, in particular for mountaineering use.[28] First introduced in 1973 and designated the Model 9 (and later as the XGK Expedition), the MSR stove had four main parts: a free-standing burner assembly with integrated pot supports; the fuel bottle, which doubles as the stove's fuel tank; a pump that screws into the bottle; and a flexible tube or pipeline connecting the pump/bottle assembly to the burner assembly.[29] This type of stove design, with the "outboard" fuel tank held away from the burner, is primed in the same manner as other white gas stoves; however, because the tank is not self-pressurizing, the tank must periodically be pumped to maintain pressure to the burner. Most commercial liquid fuel camping stoves on the market today are of this design.
Pressurized burner stoves are now available that are capable of burning multiple fuels or volatile liquids with little or no modification (due to variability in the volatility of different fuels, the "jets" of multi-fuel stoves may need to be changed according to the type of fuel used),[30] including alcohol, gasoline or other motor fuels, kerosene, jet propellant, and many others.

The damper being used in the video is in fact an original BernieDawg cap as it has the paw print on the top and not a Quietstove cap.

Hi nice vid, yeah I've still got the old XGK over 20 years old now been on many trips and two expeditions but i see the burner has been vastly improved and of course those flimsy pot stand posts now replaced by proper ones. I 'd like to get another one but as the old one is still raging, can't justify it. I also just reviewed the maintenance on it too and fire up.

[@meltedwellies1728]

they just work 24/7 thanks for watching

[@BushCampingTools]

Yes they do. No problems!

[@craigslaunwhite579]

That burner does not come with the stove originally it is an after market silencer/dampener

[@BushCampingTools]

@@craigslaunwhite579 Hi, yeah I'd since found that out thanks anyway. I think I wouldn't mind getting one too just to keep other campers happy.

[@femix]

does this stove come with the fuel pump built in or do I need to buy the MSR standard fuel pump separately from the XGK EX stove?

[@deanparkes2994]

Have you ever had any issues when disconnecting the stove from the pump and a little bit of fuel coming out the hose?!

[@johnroberthanna1623]

what type of fuel were you using..? I understand this stove can use unleaded gas, white gas, diesel, kerosene, even charcoal lighter fluid.

[@yummycookable]

I wonder where to get the QUIETSTOVE SILENT MUTER DAMPER like the one you use in the video. so cute and so cool I want one! Really nice video!

[@Kurogane_666]

I was going to ask where I could get a cap, I love my stove, it froze up on me this winter, needs a artic pump me thinks

[@africantwin173]

Can u also regulate the heat, or is it just full open or closed. A little simmering is all i need if the water or food is heated up.

[@meltedwellies1728]

very hard to simmer its usually full on or off

[@africantwin173]

QuietStove is available here: store.quietstove.com/select-stove/quietstove-store-category-msr-stove/quietstove-for-msr-xgk-ex.html

[@musicalintuition]

white gas or kerosene?

[@MrMeltedwellies]

White gas thanks for watching

[@jackduffy1817]

It looks like you have wasted a lot of fuel in just turning the stove on. When it starts to run on low, Place pan or pot on stove, After a minute or two, Turn up stove to the required heat. Don't west fuel. Over.
