I have run mine on K-1 it does fine, but gets a bit sooty and needs more frequent cleaning. Also take a look at the Primus Omni Fuel, I have heard some good things about it. The MSR doesn't simmer well, it can be done, but you have to learn how to do it.

Just put the K jet in, and it's fine. MSR's 'dragonfly' has a K jet included too.

The MSR Whisperlite International is hard to beat. It will burn Kerosene very well as well as diesel and jet fuel, if you switch out the jets (easy to do) you can burn unleaded and whitegas too. They work great

Did you buy a Whisperlite or the Whisperlite INTERNATIONALE? The regular Whisperlite is white gas only. The Internationale is the multi fuel.
