73 grams. Boils 1L in 3.5 minutes. The backup stove every van lifer needs β€” fits in a jacket pocket.

Pros

  • Only 73g
  • Boils 1L in 3.5min
  • Folds tiny
  • Reliable ignition
  • Standard canister compatible

Cons

  • Canister not included
  • No simmer control vs 2-burner
  • Cold weather performance drops

The MSR Pocket Rocket 2 is 73 grams of pure practicality. It's the stove that goes in your daypack for hikes, the backup when your main stove fails (it will fail eventually), and the solution for making coffee at the beach without getting the big stove out.

Canisters in Australia

The Pocket Rocket 2 uses standard Lindal-valve isobutane canisters available at BCF, Anaconda, and most outdoor stores. A 110g canister (the smallest size) costs A$8-10 and provides 60+ minutes of cooking.

Our Verdict

4.8/5
