MSR Reactor Availability

Does anyone know where I can purchase an MSR Reactor, preferably with the 1.0L pot? They are sold out everywhere that I have checked online and I've been looking for the past month. Does anyone know whats up? Is there a supply chain issue or are they discontinuing it?     

Though we are working earnestly to build Reactors, demand for this highly technical stove has been exceeding our production capacity. We apologize if we are out of stock. We ask that you please contact your local retailer for availability.

I wanted a more satisfying answer then what MSR posted on their website because that message has been there for months, leading me to believe they are not producing them at all. I went ahead and called. They currently don’t have a manufacturer for the Reactor but are looking for one. Once one is found it will take a while for production to begin.

For those interested in one, I did manage to find the 1.7l version at Cabela’s.

I have the 1.7L and I much prefer it to the 1L. 1L is perfect for just myself, but 1.7L is a great size for 2 people. For the extra bulk in the pack, I just stuff other small items into the pot to reduce bulk elsewhere. 

Does the Reactor do anything the Windburner ( aka Windboiler) doesn't?  Well, besides make more Carbon Monoxide?

I've never used a Reactor, but have been pretty happy with my Windburner.

We have a Reactor here at the Great Outdoor Shop. Give us a call if you're interested (307)-367-2440. It's also available on our website, greatoutdoorshop.com

@Jay Reactor is a few thousand BTU more output but I love the windburner for pretty much everything. They also just released some sweet new accessories for group/casual camping. 

Backcountry has the 1L pot (separate) if you really want it, but I think 1.7L is probably more versatile when you're melting snow to drink for a couple of people.
