Hot Deal

This compact and powerful butane stove is the lightest MSR stove ever made. Made with high quality stainless steel, aluminum and brass, the PocketRocket is durable and maintenance free. Simple in design, this stove requires no preheating, priming or pressurizing - just twist the control valve and light. It quickly delivers a steady, hot flame that users can adjust to simmer or boil. Serrated pot supports prevent pots from slipping and fold in for packing. Designed for use with MSR IsoPro™: Premium blend fuel for maximum efficiency, the PocketRocket also fits other threaded butane canisters. Great for overnight climbs, light multi-day alpine ascents or expedition high camps. Includes a compact, super tough carry case. Fuel not included.

      Comments about MSR Pocket Rocket Stove:

      This thing is an amazing little device. So light and yet so powerful. You need to buy the MSR compact propane fuel canisters. We learned the hard way it will not work with those big green Coleman Propane tanks.

        Comments about MSR Pocket Rocket Stove:

        use it mostly on several-day hikes for just me, or me with my wofe, one or both my sons (1-3 poeple), lights perfectly, easy flame control and never had in issue with clogging. Graanted, becuse it sits on top of the gas cannister it takes some practice to stabilize, but again, if you're only using smaller/lightweight cookware fro 1-3 people, its perfect.

          Started Backpacking/hiking over the last six Months. As a novice it is easy to use and quick to pack. Plan to keep this in my day pack and with me on canoe trips or hiking as I consume a lot of hot liquids year round. I also plan to send it with my son on his canoe trip this summer to provide a quick hot drink.

                              The MSR Pocket Rocket Stove with the 8 oz. canister burn time is one hour at full boil. Although it has some flame adjustability, it doesn't work well when the flame is at simmer.

                              The Halulite Ketalist will fit on the Pocket Rocket. The fuel canister is sold separately.

                              The pocket rocket may work with a Coleman exponent fuel canister. However MSR warns that other canisters from other suppliers may change their product without notice and this could present a danger.

                            Approximately how much weight (in pounds or liquid liters) can this stove support? What size pot should be used for boiling?

                              Since the pot support is pretty narrow on this stove, you probably would not want to exceed a 2 Quart or Liter pot.
