MSR Pocket Rocket Stove
It's Fine In The Cold

Ranked #665 - Canister Stoves
May 18, 2009
I don't agree with reviews that point out low performance in cold temperatures. Maybe they are leading expeditions in Antarctica. I don't need to measure my external temperature in Kelvin and I have never had any problems using this in singe digit temperatures. I just got a snow peak Titanium 700 pot for my water boiling and the pair could not be lighter or more effective. When I have tried to simmer rice I have experienced the hot spot. You have to have the valve almost closed and stir constantly to simmer rice without burning. Works better with the cup style pots. I used mine with the MSR fuel at first but recently switched to the gigapower and experience better performance. Plus the snow peak fuel nests inside the 700 pot with the pocket rocket! I have had my stove for over 6 years without issue.
