I am planning on ordering one but thought I would see first If anyone has one they were wanting to part with just PM me if you do thanks

I have one thats maybe, gosh, 15 or so yrs old. Havent used it for awhile as Ive moved onto other stoves. Guess I could part with it unless you are looking for the more recent ones?

I would guess seals are gone then, I am looking for one for winter camping melting snow

even if the seals are gone, the repair kit is only about 12 bucks. The whisperlite is an awesome stove (and I'm not parting with mine..)

have a simmer lite.. And have owned a whisper lite in the past.. if you have a choice definitely buy the simmer lite. More versitile and lighter too. Love the thing when in my kayak but usually use my RedBull alcohol stove when back packing.. only 1/4oz plus a 4oz bottle of denatured alcohol. I also have a Coleman Peak 1 white gas stove.. the "tank" and the aluminum seperate fuel bottle one and a MSR Pocket Rocket.. I still like the Simmer Lite he best if you have to carry a reliable and HOT stove. It was an expensive learning curve as I started camping from a canoe with the Colmeman two burner in a suitcase white gas stove!

Yes, I have one, also have a rebuild kit for it. What are you offering?

I have a couple and can part with one if you are still looking. PM me if you want one.

IIRC the Whisperlite does not offer a 'simmer' option. So I bought a Dragonfly instead and really love using mine.
Be warned though, it an addiction:

Dragonfly
A few alky stoves
Bush Buddy.

my 25 year old whisperlight is awesome and I've never had to replace the seals.

The newer ones are nice as you don't have to disassemble the entire stove to clean the orifice, just shake it...
