Answer to: "do these work at altitude?"

MSR Reactor Stove

March 6, 2008

YES!!! MSR designed it to shine above 12,000 feet. It doesn't require much pressure to operate well, so it also works well in cold weather. check out http://www.msrgear.com/stoves/reactor.asp and click on the link on the right side that says, "more on the reactor stove's revolutionary technology"

Tweak: This is NOT A MOUNTAINEERING STOVE. If by altitude you mean high or very high altitude(from 12,000 feet up) or are planning to use it in severe cold conditions(-20F and below) I'd rather stick to a liquid fuel stove, fuel itself behaves a lot better on such conditions than isobutane canisters, no pressure or temperature problems. Personally I use an MSR Whisperlite, simple, tough and HOT.
You can find some examples on the review "NO GO IN SNOW!!" down below.
