[pct-l] Stove choice :-S

[giniajim]

Would that not apply to all stoves?  They all burn something right and produce CO.  I wouldn't use any stove in an closed space.

  Just be careful using an MSR Reactor in an enclosed or poorly-ventilated area--the backpackinglight.com reviewers found that this stove puts out an extremely high level of carbon monoxide.  (The JetBoil doesn't do much better in this respect...). While ideally you can operate your stove outdoors in accordance with all the warning stickers, sometimes the weather isn't cooperating and it's necessary to cook inside your shelter--the Reactor does not seem to be a stove that can be safely used in this scenario.

We tested both the Jetboils (personal and group) and MSR (Reactor and group) stoves while we were out for two months between KM and Muir Trail Ranch during May and June. The Reactor was totally impressive and comes from us highly recommended. We will issue a formal product review soon.
