Comments about MSR XPD Heat Exchanger:
Tested 6 stoves/fuels, side by each at ambient temp of 20 degrees. Water was at 40 degrees. Matching MSR pans cooled in snow three minutes between tests. regardless of stove selected, cover and heat exchanger made difference. On the Whisperlite Internationale, for example: An uncovered pot took 6 minutes and thirty seconds to boil; adding a tight lid dropped the boiling time by a minute and a half; fitting it with the heat exchanger and cover reduced the boiling time to just four minutes. The MSR heat exchanger was advertised at 7 oz; ours weighed in at 5.2. Saves 2 oz fuel per pint at 20 degrees. Troop 6 did the test, you do your math. We'll take one every trip.

Comments about MSR XPD Heat Exchanger:
Works great. Got mine with my Alpine cookset, well worth the money. Only problem: it takes up the space in my cookset that I use for my stove or MSR Kitchen Cupboard. I take it for cold weather or high altitude, and for my 2 week survival trip every other year. It really cuts down on the fuel usage.

Works really well. Shortens cooking time which saves fuel. Durable construction. worth the weight and space it takes up.
