WindPro has a near 6 inch diameter support and will stably support a 10 inch pan. I have used such combos on a regular basis.

Fry bake pans .. don't leave without them. Best piece of cooking gear I have ever bought.

Has anyone tried to use an MSR WinPro for a fish fry. Wondering if one stove is enough to cook with a 10 inch cast aluminum Dutch oven. We usually do these over the fire however, that clearly will not happen this year. It appears to be fairly wide and have a lighter flame than many other canister stalls is why I am leaning this way.

I've used a MSR Windpro II with the the GSI 10" anodized aluminum dutch oven for frying fish. Its a functional combo, i had no issues getting to temp, maintaining or temperature control.

Just got back and I will never cook fish over a fire again. Thi
stove with a GSI Anodized aluminum Dutch oven is the way to go.

Yes. I was in the Quetico last week and used the Wind Pro II for a couple of fish fries. It worked just fine. My Coleman propane suitcase two-burner would no longer light mid-trip; fortunately, I had brought the wind pro II as a back-up given the fire ban.


It’s much, much harder to cook on an msr one-burner versus a Coleman two-burner. Flame control is way better on the wind pro, but the cooking surface is ridiculously small. And of course there is just one burner. So instead of fish and beans or fish and rice, it was fish period.


I purchased a new Coleman propane suitcase model earlier this week. Unless I’m going solo, I’ll always take a two burner Coleman.

I've used my windpro II for many fish fries with both the gsi 10" pan and a fry bake expedition pan. Works great!
