The revolutionary new MSR Reactor Stove is the fastest-boiling, most fuel-efficient, stove system ever made. The MSR Reactor Stove offers unprecedented canister stove performance in challenging conditions, including superior wind protection and consistent flame output at all fuel levels. It's also compact and easy to use, comprising a patent-pending canister stove and a high-efficiency 1.7-liter pot that makes it great for everything from solo trips to cooking for groups of up to three people. Recent Awards include: Editors' Choice 2007: Backpacker Magazine, Best in Gear Award: Rock and Ice, ISPO Outdoor Award, I.D. Winner 2007 Design Review.

BOMBPROOF!!!

"I'm not one who normally writes reviews on products, having said that, I felt compelled to write a review on this exceptionally designed stove. From start to finish I can have a hot meal, i.e. Mountain House DEHY, in less than 10 minutes!!! Thats from initial lighting to fork in mouth.. I have consistently seen the stove boil 16 ounces in 1.5 minutes!!!! The design, materials, and construction of this stove ar..." Read Full Review »

NO GO IN SNOW!!!

"This thing might be cool in fair weather, but its not a mountaineers tool. THE CONS: The hype about the pressure regulator making the fuel run more efficiently is total bull. If the canister is sitting in snow, the stove quickly weakens to a whimpy simmer which make snow melt times pathetic. When they say not to use it in a tent, they arent kidding either, mine belches a 24 inch fireball every time I light it..." Read Full Review »

"Well this thing was a real surprise. I have two other MSR products and I've been impressed by both but I wasn't expecting this stove to be as good as it is.

It boils FAST and boils a lot (a full litre). The thing that surprised me the most is how quickly it can be prepared. The instructions say y …" Read Full Review »

"I waited for this unit to become available and held off on buying a Jetboil. It was worth it. I think it's hard to satisfy every single desire in one product, so know what you are trying to do rather than expecting unreasonable results. That being said, this thing kicks serious butt.

"The bottom line is that this is a great stove with amazing speed and a big enough pot to be useful (bigger than the Primus EtaExpress, which would be difficult to melt snow with thanks to its tiny size). However, I have two complaints. First of all is the lack of a Piezo lighter. It would be easy …" Read Full Review »

★★★★★

5.0

"The MSR Reactor stove is well worth the price. There are several reasons for this. First, I admire the fact that the piezo igniter has been left off of the stove. Someone at MSR must have realized that these gadgets are problematic. I’ll give MSR points for honesty. I had bought a Jetboil and return …" Read Full Review »
