At 4:37 you have the fuel bottle (and the control valve) upside down, this will cause the fuel pickup tube to be in the wrong place and make controlling the fuelling difficult (as demonstrated by your operator having trouble getting at the valve) though in the test it is the right way up.
I really appreciate you guys assessing liquid as opposed to the more common (and environmentally annoying) canister stoves. I've used various white gas iterations from the old Coleman backpacker to the MSR stoves, and the functionality is just worth the extra weight for me. Noise: there are mods for the Dragon Fly for noise reduction. Boil time: That surprised me, and I am going to do my own test now on my existing stove; I've never thought to do either a boil time or a burn time test - just an oversight that you address, so another thanks on that. I look forward to more of your reviews that look at functionality as well as weight (the highlighting of the Dragon Fly's simmer capability was important).
I have both of them, I always prefer the wisperlite. more silence, better distibution of heat. test this, try to frie some potatos and You will see, the dragon fly just heat the center of the pan, but the wisperlite have a biger Heat area. regard from argentina. (Check my preheat video)
Pump gas and diesel are way more prevalent than white gas, white gas might be the most difficult fuel to obtain in NA. White gas is available all over the place. "Jet fuel" might be considered more difficult but it's jus kerosene. As an aside, jet fuel and petrol for small planes are not the same, small planes use [leaded] gasoline.
I bought a dragonfly in the year 2000, in 22 years I've not seen a reason to upgrade to another backpacking stove.
I broke the plastic pump handle on a trip. I think I am switching to the Primus (metal handle pump) for this reason

You're welcome. Looking forward to hear how your boil test went :)
I purchased the dragonfly a last week, and I was wondering about the burn time. Thank you.

Well done comparison, subscribed
Just bought the dragonfly, with the simmer ability you can actually “bake with it” 🎉
Jet Boil for Hot water trips.😂
Does the stove come with a fuel bottle and if not what size do you use?
No, they don’t. He said he used a 20ounce bottle.

Does the dragonfly burn kerosene well ?
Naphta, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel
