Is this only compatible with the reactor stove? I'm looking for a high-cap pot that will work with my Pocket Rocket, and I'm curious as to whether the heat dispersion system on the reactor pot would help negate the typical "hot-spotting" of the Rocket on larger(wider based) pots.

I ran into a jam and used the large reactor pot with a Wind Pro and wind screen. All the pictures I posted here are of that setup. It worked but I would not do it if I had a choice.

You are correct. It's designed to be used only with the Reactor Stove. I wouldn't recommend it for any other stove MSR or anyone else makes. The PocketRocket's main downfall is the high-intensity heat it puts into a small area. This is great if your boiling water, but if you want to do anything gourmet then it can be difficult. If I want to cook something other than boil water, I keep the flame low which does help to dissipate the flame a bit. As well, anything made with hard anodized aluminum will also help to spread the heat much faster. Titanium is excellent for weight and boiling water, but it is terrible if you want heat dispersion. The MSR Quick 2 cookset is your best bet...
