If you’re looking for a small and efficient backpacking stove, then you should definitely check out the MSR Pocket Rocket. The pocket rocket is one of the smallest canister fuel stoves available on the market. If you want to go lightweight and want to keep a good small stove rather than a small beer can alcohol stove, this is the way to go.
The Pocket Rocket retails for about $39.95 and is worth the money. Here are the technical specs on this:
Today I did some testing with the MSR WindPro Backpacking Canister Fuel Stove. I have had the stove for a couple months but this was actually the first time I used it. I just wanted to give it a quick test to see how easy it was to set up, how quick it was with boiling water, and the overall use of it.
If you are looking for a great canister fuel stove that is compact and easy to use, the WindPro is a great option. MSR also makes the Pocket Rocket which is a nice stove if you are looking to cut down on weight, but the WindPro really provides a lot more stability then the Pocket Rocket does.
Weighing in at only 6.8 ounces this little bugger will boil a litter of water in 4.25 minutes and 2 cups of water in about 2 – 3 minutes. Not too shabby, eh?
This stove is safer then others because the fuel canister is separated from the stove and the flame adjuster is on the canister as opposed to underneath the pot.
The coils and burner cool off very quickly so by the time you are finished eating, it is ready to pack up.
Package includes 1 large windshield and a ground reflector/cover.
Instruction manual comes in LOTS of different languages.
