Apparently REI has removed this stove/cook set from its shelves because of a problem with a weld.

Hi Jim,

I checked in with Cascade Designs/MSR after I read your post to find out the status of the Reactor and was told that the Reactor hasn’t actually hit store shelves yet (so it couldn’t have been taken off shelves). However, MSR has been a tad delayed in releasing the Reactor and is now wrapping up their 65-step “Quality Assurance Validation” process, the last phase of the development and release process.

The Reactor is still due out this spring and an announcement of its release will be posted on MSR’s web site at www.msrgear.com.
