Let's see, in nearly 800 trail meals since I've owned my stove (whispelite 
internationle) , I've never had to dismantle it, however, on several 
occasions did I have to moisten the gasket in the pump which takes all of 30 
seconds to remedy.

Not bad, and consider I have only used a 11 ounce fuel bottle on both the AT 
and PCT where fuel was always readily available, but I regress I did have to 
use auto once in Troutdale and that cost me 10 cents to fill.  They can also 
be tweeked to simmer, if in the mood.

And (stepping off my pulpit) if I'm not mistaken, the Whisperlite won the 
boil off at last years Ruck!
