Yes, it happens with mine. I think its from the priming. It usually flakes off to some degree.
mine too... i think it's the priming. the initial 'burn' isn't too efficient or hot, and not all of the gas gets completely burned up...
cool, i didnt think it was all that big of a deal i was just wondering if it was normal, thanks!

just wipe is down with a wet bandana every once in a while. (or not...it doesnt really matter)
There's a reason why the sack for the MSR stoves is black.

prime it with alcohol and you will not get any soot. Of course then you have to carry two fuels.
