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. Please note that this kit does not include the fuel canister. Please order fuel seperately.

Anonymous - 2009-06-26Just what I was looking for!
I purchased this stove because of all the good reviews it received. I am not disappointed, it's compact, easy on fuel and durable. I have purchased other MSR products and have yet to be disappoited. The fast boil time is no joke!
Randy - 2009-06-17Amazing!
The stove arrived via Fedex during a typical Colorado summer afternoon rain storm (heavy wind and rain). I ran out to the back patio with stove and pot (w/ 1 liter of water). I used the spark of my 'bic' to light the stove, set the pot on the stove, and I ran inside to view the pot from a window. Even in the driving wind and rain, the water boiled in ~3.5 minutes. The system is 5 oz. heavier than my current system, but we bought ultra light stuff sacks and pack covers to make up for the weight difference. The fuel savings may help, too. I am very pleased with this stove. Being able to know that I can make a hot cup of tea, quickly, on a cool and windy morning for my wife and me gives me a very warm feeling... "Happy wife, happy life (and happy camp :)"
Anonymous - 2008-09-14Perfect. Boiled 1L of water in under 3 minutes even at 14,000ft
Just used it for Longs Peak, and it boils water insanely fast. Sips fuel too. Only wish it had a built in igniter and you didn't have to take the burner off the fuel canister to put it back into the pot. Beats Jetboil hands down, now they just need to bring out more compatible cookware

JOE DOURIDAS - 2008-05-27Excellent stove
Pro's: I used my reactor at about an 8,500 foot elevation this weekend and it was a great performer. it boiled a half liter of water nearly faster than i could get my dehydrated food out of my pack and open.
Con's: It would be nice if they would put out a lightweight frying pan to give it a little versatility.
Overall: lack of accessories would not detour me from purchasing one. It is awesome for what I bought it for. Being compact, light, gas efficient and ready to battle some wind.
Stephen Armstrong - 2008-01-16Really was pleased
This thing is a a great package! I have used a Whisper lite International for years and was reluctant to move on to a cannister stove but one trip to the mountains relieved my concerns. Cooks fast and evenly with easy clean up and no gas to mess with! You know how it is on a cold morning when you want that first cup of hot chocolate or coffee? This is so much faster and neater than the old gas burner. Progress is a wonderful thing!
Anonymous - 2007-12-09Great but limited!
This stove outperforms any other MSR model, and even the Jetboil system, in terms of boiling times. Although I have not tried it over 2000 feet. The fall back is the limited choice, actually no choice, in cookware, you get the 1.5L pot and that's it! In order to compete with the Jetboil system MSR needs to bring out more pots and pans to the market for the ingenious stove!
