MSR Pocket Rocket Stove
Simple is usually better
By Oregonguy
Ranked #829 - Canister Stoves
January 29, 2008
This simple canister fuel stove proves that simple is usually better. It boils water quickly, is fairly quiet and weighs under four ounces and packs small enough to fit in your parka pocket. Maybe that's how it got its name. It requires no maintenance. Remove it from it's plastic box, screw it on your canister, put a match to it and you're cooking. The only minor drawback is stability. A small "footprint" for a large pot of water requires some thoughtful placement, but common sense takes care of that problem. Simmering is not it's strong suit, but I don't simmer my freeze-dry chili with beans. I cook them. Bottom line--this is an excellent, nearly weightless, budget canister stove that is bomb-proof. For a weight-savvy backpacker, it works well.
