MSR DragonFly Multi-Fuel Hiking Stove

 

Powerful, Versatile Multi-Fuel Stove for Hiking, Camping & Expeditions

The MSR DragonFly Multi-Fuel Hiking Stove is a high-performance liquid-fuel stove designed for hikers, campers and adventurers who need reliable cooking performance in demanding conditions. Offering excellent flame control, multi-fuel versatility and a stable cooking platform, the DragonFly is built for everything from lightweight backcountry trips to extended expeditions and group cooking.

Unlike many liquid-fuel stoves, the DragonFly features dual-valve flame control, allowing you to precisely adjust the flame from a powerful boil down to a controlled simmer. This makes it particularly useful when cooking meals rather than simply boiling water. MSR identifies the DragonFly as its liquid-fuel stove designed for boil, cook and simmer applications.

The DragonFly can burn white gas, kerosene and diesel, with current MSR documentation also listing unleaded auto fuel and other compatible liquid fuels depending on application. This flexibility is especially useful when travelling where your preferred stove fuel may not be readily available.

With wide pot supports capable of handling larger cookware, the DragonFly is well suited to preparing meals for groups. It folds down to approximately one-third of its operating size and can fit inside a 2-litre MSR pot for compact storage.

Precise Flame Control for Real Cooking

The DragonFly's dual-valve design is one of its biggest advantages. One valve regulates fuel flow while the second provides fine flame adjustment, giving you significantly more control when simmering sauces, cooking meals or preparing food that requires more than simply boiling water.

This makes the DragonFly particularly useful for longer trips where you want the flexibility to cook a wider range of meals.

Multi-Fuel Versatility

One of the biggest benefits of a liquid-fuel stove is the ability to use different fuels depending on availability.

The DragonFly supports:

White gas

Kerosene

Diesel

Unleaded automotive fuel

Other compatible liquid fuels listed by MSR

White gas provides fast, clean-burning performance, while alternative fuels provide additional flexibility when travelling or operating in remote areas. MSR notes that automotive fuel can cause faster clogging and should generally be used when preferred fuels aren't available.

 

Ideal for Group Cooking

Wide pot supports provide a stable platform for larger cookware, making the DragonFly a practical option for preparing meals for multiple people. The broad support design can accommodate cookware up to approximately 10 inches in diameter.

Whether you're preparing a large camp meal, melting snow or simply boiling water after a long day on the trail, the DragonFly provides the stability and control needed for outdoor cooking.

 

Built for Field Maintenance

The DragonFly incorporates Shaker Jet™ technology, allowing the fuel jet to be cleared and the stove maintained in the field. This is particularly valuable for extended trips where access to replacement equipment or workshop facilities may be limited.

 

Compact for Backpacking

Despite its robust construction and large cooking platform, the DragonFly folds down to approximately one-third of its operating size. It can fit inside a 2-litre MSR cooking pot, helping keep your stove and cookware organised and compact in your pack.
