Product Info for MSR Reactor 1.7L Stove System

The new and improved MSR Reactor 1.7L Stove System is one of the best Canister Stoves a hiker can buy. It is extremely fuel efficient and windproof, so your canister of gas lasts much longer when you're out in the woods trying to cook and boil water. And, the MSR Reactor 1.7L Stove System can boil 1 L of water in less than 3 minutes, so you can start cooking or making coffee quickly when you get off the trail. Even though you'd expect a stove like this to weigh several pounds and take up a ton of space in your pack, the MSR Reactor 1.7L Stove System only weighs 21 ounces and stows away into itself!image

Features of MSR Reactor 1.7L Stove System:

  • Unrivaled Boil Time: Outperforms the competition in lab tests boiling 1 liter of water in just 3 minutes with an even greater advantage in challenging conditions.
  • Maximum Efficiency: Patent-pending radiant burner and heat exchanger make the Reactor the most efficient all-condition stove system, so you carry less fuel.
  • Unmatched Wind Protection: Radiant burner head is enclosed by heat exchanger for total protection in even the windiest conditions.
  • Integrated System: State-of-the-art stove and high-efficiency pot are combined into one compact, easy-to-use system.

by KarlosJ83, Gear Expert from UT, United States Updated on July 3, 2021
When this stove came out in 2007 is was supposed to be the holy grail of stoves. Let's just say it is and it isn't. I used this stove to melt snow in the middle of winter on 5 ft of snow at the top of 9,000ft peak in Logan, UT. I don't know any other stove that could have melted that snow as quick or as efficiently. There were 5 of us and we all just used this one stove for all...

Not sure what took so long to purchase this stove but I'm sad I didn't purchase is sooner. I've used all manner of stoves, and this one ticks all the right boxes. Its very packable even at 1.7L, a 8oz canister fits with the burner assembly nicely.

I bought this stove earlier this season and couldn't be happier with it's performance. It boils water quickly, efficiently and reliably. I've used it in high wind settings, rainy conditions and on extended trips with great success. I like that all the attachments fold into to each other. I also purchased the coffee press and this was a good investment. It makes reliable coffee ...

I bought this stove system to boild water for our small group. It works so great as it is designed for. For boiling water, it is very fast, and it is the better than any other stove. The 1.7L system is good for 2 to 6person as my experience. But you need to use another stove such as MSR windpro to make some cooking work, since the reactor is just good for boiling water. T...

I tried this with a bunch of Boy Scouts on a Philmont practice hike. The temps got down to ~30 overnight. The next morning, we brought 2 liters (we used the 2.5L Pot)of very cold water to a full rolling boil in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend this. We're taking 3 for our group of 12
