MSR’s new WindBoiler stove make use of the radiant burner system from the Reactor stove and adds on a bunch of backpacker friendly features. The new personal cooking system is easy to use, offers quick boil times, and high-efficiency in less than ideal conditions.

The Reactor, originally built with the alpinist in mind, was MSR’s first stove to make use of the radiant burner system. Radiant burners use a porous material to mix fuel and house the flame. The resulting burner produces both convective and radiant heat. So, how does it work?

When the stove is operating, gas travels from the canister, through a pressure regulator, to two jets that inject the fuel into a cavity under the porous material shaped in a disc. Here, the fuel mixes with air and flows through the pores in the disc. Ignition occurs in the upper level and at the surface of the disc, spreading the flame evenly and creating broad, consistent heating. Flame temperatures reach 3600°F and the protective mesh above the disc reaches 1600°F.

The stove requires a heat exchanger to effectively harness the power of the radiant burner, built into all Reactor (and now WindBoiler) cookware. The large surface area of the heat exchanger allows efficient transfer of both convective heat and radiant light energy from the burner.

The biggest performance advantage comes from the control and management of airflow. The burner operates on 100% primary air, pulling all the air it needs through ports on either side of the flame control knob. All air and fuel mixing occurs inside the stove, allowing the flame to be completely enclosed and protected from wind with the integrated heat exchanger. This construction makes the radiant burner far more resistant to wind than a conventional burner. Combined with the broad, evenly dispersed flame, it also makes the flame difficult to blow out, even when the pot is removed.

The WindBoiler takes this radiant burner system and superior wind protection of the Reactor and makes it a bit more convenient and compact for weekend backpackers (weighs 15.2 ounces). MSR claims that the WindBoiler will boil 0.5L of water a minute faster than the leading competition in a light breeze. In a 12-mph wind, water boils in 2:45 min., while others supposedly fail to boil, no matter the amount of fuel used.

The WindBoiler adds an insulated cozy and handle so you can grab on to the pot. The compact pot simply twists onto the burner for a secure, non-slip fit. The integrated full-size bowl allows you to cook and serve enough food for one to two people. The WindBoiler’s clear BPA-free lid features a strainer, a drinking lid, and is coffee press compatible.

The WindBoiler stove collection includes a bunch of add-on accessories, such as the WindBoiler 1.0L Accessory Pot, WindBoiler Coffee Press Kit, and the WindBoiler Hanging Kit.

WindBoiler vs Reactor

16 oz vs 16.7 oz (1.0L pot)

The Reactor isn’t for everyone. It was never intended to be. The Reactor was originally engineered to be an alpinist’s tool. An unapologetic snow-melting powerhouse.  A purpose-built rocket ship of a stove system. One that delivers amid the most demanding alpine conditions. Because the longer it takes a mountaineer to melt snow for hydration, the greater his or her risk for altitude sickness.

n contrast, the WindBoiler stove system is a truly personal unit, with features designed to bring ultimate convenience to solo travelers and minimalist backpacking pairs.

Like the Reactor, the WindBoiler is an all-in-one system, but it’s even more compact, and its features are tailored to meet the needs of one or two travelers heading into the backcountry, or simply camping in the frontcountry—and anyone who’s trying to cook a hot meal in places where real weather can happen.

The WindBoiler scales down from the Reactor in both heat output and form factor. Where the Reactor blasts out 9,000 BTU/hr, the WindBoiler throttles back to 7,000 and makes up the efficiency by sipping fuel more slowly. The WindBoiler is also better at simmering thanks to a redesigned pressure regulator valve.

When it comes to form factor, the Reactor includes cookware with traditional side-mount pot handles, while the WindBoiler answers our customers’ requests for a truly high-tech, integrated cook-and-eat solution that doubles as a mug—its pot features an insulated cozy with a stiffened handle, and a drinking and straining lid. The WindBoiler’s pot also locks onto its stove burner for improved stability, and a heat-resistant grip on the burner makes it easy to hold while you’re removing the pot.

The WindBoiler is meant to be the ideal stove for minimalist backpackers and anyone cooking up personal meals. You could say the WindBoiler is a hot cup of morning coffee in camp to the Reactor’s snowmelt-electrolyte-refueling-station on an exposed Alaskan ledge. In other words, the WindBoiler is truly personal.

Was going to shop for X-Country skis but ended up buying the WindBoiler instead.

Wanna show you the two comparisons of the Soto stove with the Titanium pots.

我等MSR生產一個容量給兩人用就入一個。
我的Jet Boil給某人燒爛了。 :evil:

好像MSR的雪鞋今年也有更新。

whatever

对比同样是1L铝锅的etboil后，从他们自己公布的数据看，MSR的432克比Jetboil重135克，这是个明显的弱点。再看100克气罐的烧水量，Jetboil是12升，这个数据在2年前是11升，可能是有改进，MSR明显为了避免和对手对比，只给出了227克气罐的烧水量，22升，但还是泄露了在烧水量上并没有优势。至于烧水多快，这个没什么意义，都是在几分钟的量级上。看MSR有没有改进型推出了，至少在现在他还很难撼动Jetboil

MSR這個防風功能應該好一點.
可以節省和不要用檔風版.

MSR has the new 1.8L system and Skillet available.

這個容量適合1~2人用。好的。
