Great Lightweight Stove!

The MSR Microrocket is the best canister stove I've had the pleasure to use. I primarily use it for boiling water for pre-made dehydrated meals, and it boils two liters typically under 3 minutes. When the temps drop, that time rises, but that's to be expected with a canister stove. I had my doubts about the stability of this stove (anyone who's used the pocketrocket knows what I'm talking about), but I've never had any problems losing meals due to the pot slipping off. If you are looking for ultralight, I would recommend alcohol stoves before this one.

Bottom Line: Miles above the pocketrocket. Love this stove for my lightweight trips.
