Msr windburner stove review.

Unfortunately the windburner does not excel in this category. The convenience and durability of the windburner are tough to beat and give it a spot among our list of the best backpacking stoves. Easy to assemble and disassemble the msr windburner personal stove is a great choice for solo backpacking. Over the last few months our editor used it to cook all his camp favorites from sunrise pancakes to late night pasta.

Our testers would love to see the reactor and windburner also sprout them. The windburner stove system combo is one of the three systems msr sells based around the same remote canister base stove. The duo stove system with a 1 8 liter pot is a minimalist set designed for two while the group stove system with a 2 5 liter saucepot is targeted towards two to four campers. It has the heaviest trail weight in our review at 15 ounces even heavier than the liquid fuel stoves.

The gas canister is a separate item and 110g and 227g canisters can fit inside the windburner. The msr windburner is a canister stove system built around the wind proof and super fuel efficient radiant burner technology that msr originally developed for its snow melting powerhouse reactor stove.

Msr has added a piezo to the pocketrocket line on the deluxe. Using similar technology as the msr reactor it also features a radiant burner and an enclosed windproof design so that it performs in harsh weather conditions. The msr windburner stove system. The msr windburner is an exceptional personal stove system made by mountain safety research.

We are disappointed that msr could not make this product lighter than the reactor it seems like there is a lot of unnecessary metal as well as plastic parts that could be trimmed. Unlike conventional backpacking stoves radiant burners don t have flames which makes them impervious to windy weather so that they burn hotter and longer on the same amount of canister fuel. Over half of the small and integrated canister stoves in our review sport a piezo though they didn t all work with the same reliability in our tests. The windburner combo is the latest stove system in the growing msr lineup.

The msr windburner stove system is among the highest quality and best performing integrated canister stove systems on the market.
