Okay, here's my next techie question:
I have an old, 12-13 year old MSR Whisperlite that's had a lot of use. It's fussy but still works. However, after hearing a (confirmed) story of an MSR stove "blowing up" and severely burning someone, I'm afraid to use the stove! Should I be?
Does anyone know what "piece" generally tends to fail on these stoves? Is it the gaskets drying out, or what? Should I just throw it away? (Lately when I need a stove, I've been borrowing a Pocket Rocket anyway.)
Thanks for any and all answers/suggestions!
