  • I think the reactor would've been better if the pan size was reduced to 1 liter and also reduce the diameter of the stove. Im not sure what msr was aiming for with this design because most backpackers I know cry over anything above 1oz stove. That thing is expensive with limited usage(boiling only) but seems well built. The jetboil atleast gives an option of using it with other pans, plus it's no slouch when it comes to boiling either. Jetboil better deal IMO.

  • @dmb3428 your assessment is correct IMO also....everything you said is so true..i got the reactor brand new for $45 at the LL bean outlet in NH...they took 50% off clearance because they considered it hunting equipment lol...man it is the bomb of a stove for group cooking...even two...and is built like a tank...i love the new sol....for one...

  • your a legend mate !!!! thanks for a great vid , regards mic from aus

  • @mictheaussie1 thanx mic..much appreciated..Ed

  • From your tests, I think if I decided to go with a gas stove, Id pick the SOL on longer trips and the Reactor on day hikes.

  • @LegendSexy ...agreed..they need to make a mini reactor.....nice to know they both work fine with frozen canisters.the sol is a huge improvement from the early jetboils.

see all
