MSRPocketRocket 2 Ultralight Camping and Backpacking Stove

The media could not be loaded. Bought this to replace my bulky jetboil stove. Very satisfied with how lightweight and easy it is to use. Fantastic value for the money especially over the jetboil. Fits tight and seems very durable. Has a nice divider where the flame comes out to help protect and prevent it from being blown out on windy days. Flame turns down very low and can also be turned up for high heat and faster boils.

The best hiking stove you can get. Most people will say you need the jet boil or similar system that has a cup and everything else. Those systems are nice if you are going to be in extremely windy conditions or have the extra space. I prefer this rocket because it packs away into the smallest area and then I pair it with a metal cup that conforms to nalgenes (again taking up less space). It’ll boil a cup of water nearly as fast as all the other brands. Very sturdy and has held up to years of abuse now.

This is a really solid camping stove. There is a reason it is called the pocket rocket! It packs a lot of heat and power despite being small and lightweight. Did not have any issues when I used this, it heats water fast and is super easy to travel with so if you are worried about weight or size with backpacking this is a good fit. Keep in mind you do need to give it a little time to cool down before storing and hitting the trail again. Highly recommend this, easy to use and always gets the job done.

This is a great little cannister stove. The price is fair, considering the brand and the quality. I have purchased smaller, lighter, and cheaper chinese versions but honestly, I don't know if I totally trust them. MSR makes quality products, and I'd rather pay a bit more to have a brand that I have confidence in. This is a great little stove and packs down small and light - a great little stove.

Having owned several stoves over the years, I am super impressed with this one! A snow peak was in my pack for the better part of 3 years, and while I had no issues with it, I felt that boil times were too slow for 1 to 2 cups of water. I ordered this stove on somewhat of a whim, hoping that it would fit the bill and cut down my boil times.I tested the stove with 2 boil tests. Tests 1 was with 2 cups of water in my usual backpacking pot. I set the timer and was amazed when 2 cups boiled in 2.5 minutes. The power of this little stove is beyond impressive. Right away, you can see how it gets the name "pocket rocket."Test 2 was for a cup of coffee, which was 8 oz of water in the same container. Within a minute I could feel the container shaking. After 75 seconds, I had a rolling boil.the lightweight design and the smart carrying case are a nice perk for backpacking. Many similar products provide you with a small bag, which does nothing to protect the stove in your pack. The pot supports fold out to accept a container of decent diameter size. You can likewise fold them in to accept a smaller container. When it is time to pack up your kit, simply fold in the arms and igniter and place back in the case.The stove remains hot after use for about 2-3 minutes, so be cautious about handling.While I have not tested this product in the wind, any backpacker worth their salt knows to bring a wind screen or use natural materials to block off gusts while using.I would highly suggest this product for any day hiker, backpacker, or camper in general who wants a smartly designed, light weight, and efficient way to heat up water for your meals.

Tiny, compact, and super light. Works like a charm and as long as your setting up camp right boils quickly.

I bought the MSR pocket rocket 2 @ $49.95 and then I bought a Chinese version PSKOOK Portable Camping Stove Ultralight Backpacking Stove with Piezo Ignition, @ $12.80 and they both work surprisingly well and the Chinese made is solid and the MSR looks like the post going up it's made out of like some type of cast iron? I like to know what that is... Looks like pig metal and, the holes are very poorly drilled on all three sides compared to the Chinese version / type... The item overpriced, neat, good to have but, always keep a spare.Cheers!

Years ago (many) I had the previous pocket rocket. Then the MSR Wind burner showed up. Still have it but the pocket rocket was abandoned after breakage. I found a need for the ultimate small lightweight msr pr2. I couldn't resist the sale price. I am glad I bought it. Have been on several day trips and the PR2 is exceptional. Boils quickly & fires up instantly when my zipper works. Very pleased. Lightweight, small. Perfect.
