MSR Reator Stove and Coleman canisters? - 09/04/08 11:40 AM

Hi,
Is there any reason that Coleman's 70/30 (Butane/Propane) cartridges (3250-702T) will not work with the MSR Reactor Stove? The fuel mix in MSR's canisters is slightly different (80/20 - ISO/Proprane)

Thanks,
Joe

They work fine in my Reactor and they were on sale. I can't tell any difference in performance. AWESOME Stove...

FWIW more propane is better, especially as it gets colder, so I'd probably prefer the Coleman option.

Except Coleman uses butane (boiling pt -0.5c) versus the isobutane of the MSR (boiling pt -11c)
