MSR: Mountain Safety Research

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like any great tool, precision, quality and inherent functionality are what set MSR stoves apart from any other. These are the stoves you'll find in every backpack of the world's most renowned explorers. MSR stoves inspire confidence & offer a supreme sense of security - components essential to successful trips.

 

Aside from that, MSR stoves are also by far the most field maintainable. Dirty fuel clogged your jet or fuel line? The integrated cleaning wire will let you take care of the fuel line, while the Shaker Jet Technology will take care of the jet without any dismantling.

RAPID COOKING:

The ultimate solutions for traveling fast and cooking fast on high adventure journeys, MSR Rapid Cooking stoves offer maximum speed and efficiency for one-pot meals and melting snow. From the game-changing efficiency and speed of the Reactor ® stove system, to the legendary, expedition-proven XGK™EX stove, we’ve engineered these stoves to burn hot and strong to quickly and reliably sustain you through any adventure.

 

 

MSR Reactor

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Unmatched Wind Protection: Radiant burner head is enclosed by heat exchanger for maximum protection in even the windiest conditions.

Unrivaled Boil Time: Out-performs the competition in lab tests—boiling a liter of water in just 3 minutes—with a far greater advantage in windy conditions.

Liquid Fuel Stoves

Ideal for:

bulletCooking in any condition, temperature
or altitude.
bulletLong trips and international
expeditions where fuel types are
limited or unknown.

Advantages:

bulletMulti-fuel capabilities. Many of MSR's
stoves burn white gas, kerosene and
auto fuel.
bulletSuperior cold temperature
performance. Low temperature do not
effect the performance of liquid fuel.
bulletLighter on long trips. A liquid fuel stove
and partially full fuel bottle is lighter
and more efficient than a canister
stove and two or more canisters.
bulletCorrect pressures can be maintained
regardless of amount of fuel left in bottle.

Trade-Offs:

bulletLighting a liquid fuel stove requires
priming with fuel, which can be inefficient, messy and cause flare-ups.
bullet

Maintaining pressure requires pumping.

 

 

 

 

Canister Fuel Stoves

Ideal for:

bulletShort or Fast & Light™ trips
bulletTemperatures above freezing.
bulletHigh altitude

Advantages:

bulletSuper lightweight. A 3-ounce stove
plus one full fuel canister weighs less
than a pound
bulletSimple to operate. Just turn on the valve and light.
bulletNo priming.
bulletNo pumping. The canisters are already
pressurized.
bulletFull flame control for simmering or
boiling.
bulletMaintenance free.
bulletPerform well at high altitude (20,000'
plus). Canisters have a higher pressure
compared to lower atmospheric pressures.
bulletAffordable.

Trade-Offs:

bulletFreezing temperatures or low fuel
reduce performance drastically.
bulletNon-refillable canisters must be
packed out.
bulletYou don't know how much fuel you
have in a canister unless it is new.
bulletLonger trips mean additional weight -
1/2 to 3/4 of a pound per canister.

 

Traveling with your stove - Airport Procedures

Taking white spirit camping stoves has previously been banned by airlines for safety reasons. New guidelines from the International Air Transport Association now allows such stoves to be carried as checked baggage.

To meet these guidelines, Air New Zealand has developed the following procedure:

bulletCompletely drain all fuel from the stove fuel tank and/or the fuel container.
bulletAllow the empty fuel tank and/or container to drain for at least one hour and leave it uncapped for a minimum of six hours to allow any residual fuel to evaporate. Alternatively you can add cooking oil to the fuel tank/container to elevate the flash point of any residual liquid, and then empty it. If this is done the 1+6 hour draining/evaporation requirement no longer applies.
bulletSecurely fasten the cap of the fuel tank and/or container. Wrap the stove/container (including the separate burner assembly of MSR-type stoves) in an absorbent material such as a paper towel and place it in a polythene or equivalent bag. Seal the top of the bag or gather and close it with an elastic band or twine.
bulletCheck-in staff will provide a form, which you must complete to verify that the stove has been made safe by these steps.

 

Other airlines have adopted, and are in the process of adopting, similar procedures.
