MSR Reactor
We’ve combined state of the art cookware with revolutionary stove design to make the Reactor stove the fastest, most fuel efficient stove system ever. The Reactor stove's radiant burner is enclosed by a unique heat exchanger for unmatched performance in windy conditions while an advanced pressure regulator provides optimal heat output over the life of a fuel canister. Stove and fuel stow inside of the high-efficiency 1.7-liter pot that's great for everything from solo trips to cooking for groups of up to three people. A collapsible handle locks the unique see-thru lid in place for safe and easy transport.

Our Verdict:
Saves weight over long trips by reducing the total fuel carried, apart from that it boils a litre of water in just 3 mins and the wind resistant design ensures it outperforms conventional systems in poor conditions.
The pan is big enough for a couple of travellers and it has a handy see through lid - great!
I was talking to one of our customers - Stephen Timberlake - a fan of the Reactor stove - he said:
"The Reactor is beautifully wind resistant, completely unaffected by wind........some reviewers say you can't simmer with it but thats just not the case, it simmers very effectively........"
