I was considering buying this stove. Im just getting into camping and hiking. Ive already ordered a primus micron lantern. I wanted this lantern because of the lack of glass. Will the pocket rocket run off the same gas canisters? I notice the manufacturer sites generally tell you to use their brand specific canisters but id rather not have to lug one around for each appliance.

The simple answer is 'YES'! The reason is that most modern canisters use Lindal valves which have the same threading. Therefore most current stoves will work with most canisters. The reasons manufacturers recommend using their branded fuel is simply marketing. You are completely safe to use any canister with a Lindal valve...these would include, MSR, Snowpeak, Jetboil, Brunton, Coleman (butane/propane, not the big green propane cansiters), Primus, and Markhill.
