MSR Reactor Stove
Excellent Winter Stove!
By Jason Livingston
Ranked #2 - Canister Stoves
February 18, 2008
I don't know what kind of experience the first poster had, but I've had excellent experience with this stove in cold, windy, hi altitude weather. I've used it to melt snow several times this year without any problems. In fact, last week I had this stove in snow at Rocky Mountain National Park at 9000 ft. at 22-degrees F with 30mph winds and still timed the stove boiling a liter at 3 minutes 30 seconds!! This with a half-empty canister! No other canister stove that I've used in the past even comes close to this. For those who want a canister stove that will work in the worst conditions (above 0°F), this is it.
