Is the MSR Pocket Rocket 2 worth it?

We think this stove is an excellent choice for backpackers who want to keep it light but still have the option to cook a real meal. This product is a former Editors’ Choice winner, but newer options have better wind resistance, faster boil times, and piezo ignitors. It’s still a good stove for a good price.

Can you cook on MSR Pocket Rocket?

COMPACT – The Pocket Rocket folds down small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and can easily nest into most cook pots. The included hard plastic case makes it a little more bulky than others, but it can always be swapped for a small stuff sack if desired.

MSR IsoPro™ fuel

Is the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe worth it?
