So what is the consensus---Reactor or JetBoil?

REACTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first of all, the curren jetboil has currently been reccalled, because the simmer thingy broke, whose to say that the next step is that they start blowing up, reactor boils water faster, the reactor directs the fuel directly to the stove, so no fuel is lost, and at the very last bit, then the stove turns bad, but with the jetboil, when like 60% is lost, the stove turns bad, and the reactor pot sits directly on top of the stove, so no heat is ever lost, while the jetboil requires a screen, the reactor dosn't. and if you ask any other backcountry expert, they will tell you that the reactor is THE BEST STOVE EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reactor all the way. There are 3 big advantages to the reactor over the Jet Boil.1. Pressure Regulation- This stove has a pressure regulator that basically allows the stove to use all the fuel in the can and no difference in performance no matter how little fuel is in the can. At the last 4% of fuel the stove performance goes to crap. With a jetboil once you get to the half way point the performance begins to drop significantly2. The stove is wind proof- This is accomplished because the stove is a radiant burner rather then a convective burner stove. This allows the pot to sit almost directly on the burner. There is no heat being lost by the wind coming by and blowing the convective gases away.3. Cold Temp Performance- This is combination of the pressure regulator and the pot sitting directly on the burner. The stove will boil a liter of water in about 3 mins no matter how much wind, how cold it is, or the altitude. As long is the fuel can is not gelled up. People who use this stove a lot will tell you that this is the best winter canister stove on the market.
