MSR

Heat Exchanger

An additional benefit….

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Beyond what everyone has already mentioned, when the MSR HE is used with a Titan pot and Dragonfly stove, it happens to fit perfectly just to the outside of the stove’s pot supports. So beyond the added efficiencies for fuel use, it also creates a much more stable pan to stove connection. This is actually one of the things I like most about it.

HE

Never leave without it. I use this for the ceramic 2.5 pot, and it fits perfect. Though the wheel was lame when I purchased it, it was easily fixed. Once adjusted, it saves up to 20% while keeping the wind away. Stowing while travelling is easy. I wrap it around a therm-a-rest, and tighten it with a strap.

Essential tool for cold weather cooking

I already own one, but cannot find it. The Heat Exchanger is an essential tool for efficient cooking in a cold or winter environment. Thank you!

Good, give me more.

I use it all the time. It would be better if I could roll it up. A mesh metal or dragon skin would do that nicely. Hard to fit in backpack without the worry of it bending oddly. Remember your customer has discretionary money to burn, mountains to climb, and an ego to feed.

I ran into the heat exchanger while climbing Denali the

I ran into the heat exchanger while climbing Denali the first time back in 1985. Other teams were carrying a pressure cooker(!) to help with high altitude cooking times. We (The Innocents Abroad team of 1985) choose to go with the HE to conserve on the fuel we had to haul up for our EGK expedition stoves...nothing like having to melt ice for water at 17,000'. We found that using the HE to keep the pot warm at -40 degrees allowed us to 'simmer' our food and stretch out our fuel supply during a 10 day storm at high camp. I recall something about 90 know winds blowing a climbers boots away (forever) from her tent door.

No-Brainer product has paid for itself many times

My wife and I have been using one of these for more than 20 years. They work really well at directing heat the pot. Benefits are: 1) water is boiling faster so less time cooking. 2) uses less fuel so don't need to carry as much AND don't need to buy as much. We always take it with us when backpacking, including internationally, but also use it car camping. And I've used it in the kitchen when our kettle went out. Product just makes so much sense. Product fits into the msr cookset along with the stove, so is no extra space to pack.

Works well

This speeds up boiling water and extends your fuel. Great product.

Awesome accessorie

I have had this for many years, works great Don't use as a wind break lol Blew a hole through one, using my dragonfly stove. But it was replaced and never had another issue

Works well to focus heat where it belongs

Works well to help focus that side heat from the stove into the pot.
