MSR Reactor Stove
Not as advertised :)

OK. I have a complaint. Got this this week and took it out on the porch to boil a test pot of water. This did not boil in 3 minutes as everybody says. It took a full 3 minutes 23 seconds before it boiled :) Oh, and I left the lid off.
Honestly, this is an awesome stove. It will be perfect for me as I am not a "camp chef" and just want some hot ramen, soup or dehydrated food at the end of the day.
It is so fast that I have the feeling that if I have any extra fuel after my trip and duct tape it to the back of my car, I might get an extra 20 mpg on the way home.
Bullet-proof and simple. Just what I like in camp gear.
