QUESTION: Have you tried it above 10,000'? That's where I've really had problems, at higher elevations.<br /><br />Interestingly, MSR did not include a piezo ignition on their Reactor stove. Why? They felt it wasn't reliable enough.<br /><br />Also, on the new MSR MicroRocket, MSR made a separate piezo ignition in hope that having the ignition system not sit in the flame constantly would improve reliablility.<br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-726056737393741092012-11-04T03:16:17.124-08:002012-11-04T03:16:17.124-08:00I would take issue with the reviewers comments abo...I would take issue with the reviewers comments about built-in piezo-electric igniters. 10 years ago I retro-fitted an MSR Autostart Igniter (MSR 311763) to a Superfly stove head and it has worked faultlessly since that time over many extended backpacking trips. 2 years ago I transferred it to a new (and lighter) titanium Hi-gear head (which incidentally appear identical to the new but more expensive Fire Maple FMS-116T stove head) where it continues to give faultless service (even after being immersed in boiling soup!!!). At 12grms the MRS igniter seems to fit a range of gas stove heads and I would highly recommend it as a self fit for those wanting a built-in ignitor.RacingSnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092428557162409782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-37013862074943014402012-01-02T19:22:27.784-08:002012-01-02T19:22:27.784-08:00Hi, Hobbs Corner,

I think your niece will like it very much.<br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-27207191607367329802012-01-02T19:21:29.951-08:002012-01-02T19:21:29.951-08:00Aushiker,

The MicroRocket will fit in a shirt pocket.<br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-1386181000890001302012-01-02T09:59:02.989-08:002012-01-02T09:59:02.989-08:00Thanks for the testing and article HJ.

Very interesting reading and should I go back to gas or add it into my stove mix I will definitely consider a MicroRocket to replace my old SupeFly.Aushikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678753367840875710noreply@blogger.com
