I've had my SuperFly for about 18 years or so now. Still works like a champ. Really nice for simmering and doing real cooking vs just flamethrower mode to boil water. The spread really helps distribute the heat.
The Superfly has a hanging kit (Ascent), the funky canister twist clip thingy is for hanging canister. I don't think anybody other than my dad bought one.
That's the reason I bought this stove. I had access to very cheap Campingaz cylinders which are un-threaded. This stove is a must have if you are planning to go to France
The unique attachment system has a specific purpose. It allows the stove to clamp on non threaded (campingaz type) cans more common in Europe. (Google ‘campingaz’ to see what I mean) Neat stove. There was also a swing attachment available in case you want to camp on any sheet rock faces.
The first backpacking stove I bought was a Gaz stove. The common threaded type had not yet manifested itself as the clear winner in this part of the world, nor was the internet what it is today with the ability to research and endless buying options. Prior to that I lugged a Coleman duel fuel....still have it and still burn it twice a yr to keep the generator from gumming up.
@@Thereal111t I'm in Colorado. I think I got that stove in 1989 or 1990....bought it at REI and after a couple years I couldnt easily find fuel so switched to a primus stove(still have it and still one of my favs)
I had one and loved it, but gave it to a cousin on a trip to Italy. The genius of the design is that it will work on regular canisters and the ones that don't have the threaded end. You can use it on the cans that need to be punctured. So in other countries that don't have the threaded canisters you can use it. You don't see that type of canister these days, but they still have them in Europe. That was the reason they designed it that way. To use both types of canisters.
Great vid , thx for sharing :) i ordered mine and hope will not let me down on my motorcycle trip to polar circle in Norway .I planing to use it as main stove and have pocketrocket ,, just in case,, I have a question about fuel , how long last that small canister like you show on vid ? take care and cheers from Danmark

Looks like hella good burner for sure
Hi. The Reason the stove has that type of fitting is so it will work with threaded and un-threaded gas canisters

Better this MSR Super Fly or Primus Mimmer and wide MSR Super Fly or Primus Mimmer... thank before
Awesome
eBay does have some good buys. Nice find JJ2K.
I would like to get one of these stoves but it looks like it would be a pain to pack as it isn't too compact.
Good score! I keep the primus classic trail in my collection as a cooking head, when I go lite and go instant I carry the boiling head(BRS titanium).
Same burner head as windpro?

Why do you have the flame come over the edges?
could you tell me what type of fuel its using and is it refillable? thanks.
What does Jujitsu mean does it mean you are Jewish
It's a Japanese martial art...
Oh my God I thought that meant you are Jewish
And along with not being your business, why would that matter?
