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.

I must admit missing my old Optimus stove. But when a fire destroyed all my backpacking gear, I found all had to be replaced. And on a tight budget. I was gifted the one inexpensive one that is so light that everyone raves about. It tipped over several times, just not stable. And as a backpacker, I am very conscious not only of not tipping over the water that is so precious when backpacking due to weight, but also the risk of accidentally starting a fire in the back country. So, I decided to spend more. Look for good quality but not quite as heavy as my old Optimus. Something stable, not so easy to tip over. Tight retiree budget as mentioned. But, I also wanted something that would last. So tried this one. Two backpacking and one car camping trip with it so far, and no issues. Boils water rapidly. Easy to light. Stable. Seems good quality so far no issues. Happy with purchase.

J'ai acheté ce réchaud comme alternative plus résistante à mon BRS3000T. Celui ci est plus resistant, fonctionne très bien, fait une bonne flamme donc fait bouillir l'eau rapidement et convient parfaitement pour une popote d'un litre par exemple car plus solide et plus grand que le BRS.Je recommande

I've heated many a meal on this by now and it works/folds/lasts better than my expectations. It's simple to fold for travel/storage, and easy to set up and light. Screws on to fuel tanks easily.It cools rapidly when you're done as well so you don't have to worry too much about burning yourself on it (due caution required, of course). Just let it cool while you pack up other items, or while you enjoy your meal.It folds up extremely small and weighs next to nothing. Build quality seems like it will last for years.I'd recommend this for any ultra-light backpacker.

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.

Funciona bien, compacta y por los materiales me dan confianza de que va a durar. Es ruidosa pero hierve el agua muy rápido

Reliable and takes up hardly any room. Don't have a ton of hours on it, so I don't know how long it takes until it burns out. Very light. Boils water fast enough for what I wanted. Actually has decent simmer control, better than expected at least. Only use with very small pots/pans, as even with the largest fuel cylinders your aren't going to balance much more than a little backpacking pot (also only delivers heat to the very center of the pan).

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.

The MSR Pocket Rocket is about as ubiquitous as a Bic lighter or a Nalgene bottle - Look at someone’s kit and as often as not they’ll have one. It’s because it’s simply an awesome little stove!The build quality is fantastic.The design is very clever.The flame adjustability is excellent; you can go from the most delicate simmer to a virtual flame thrower.Per the pic it’s very compact.I have and love a Jetboil MiniMo as well, but I don’t always need something that big; Sometimes all I want to do is be able to make coffee. And sometimes two burners is really nice if making something a little more complicated. I now always take the PR2, and only bring the JetBoil if know I will need it.

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.

No sé si se trata de un fallo o es algo completamente normal. Pero al cabo de usarlo, lógicamente se calienta la pieza bastante, pero no me hace gracia que se caliente la parte que va roscada al cartucho de gas ¡Me parece algo peligroso e inestable que la parte del quemador no transmita de manera eficiente el calor! Para que el área de la rosca a la botella de gas no se sobrecaliente. Porque llega a quemar en contacto con la botella. Aunque sea un quemador muy cómodo, muy bueno, ligero y eficaz ¡Tiene el defecto de sobrecalentarse demasiado donde está la rosca! Eso sinceramente no me parece nada seguro y por miedo he terminado quitando la pieza tras unos minutos. La experiencia pues es muy buena, pero estás continuamente pensado si está transmitiendo demasiado calor hacia el cartucho de gas ¡Debería como repito repartir el calor y distribuirlo de manera que no llegue a la parte de la boca de conexión! Lo veo algo muy peligroso. Otros quemadores más baratos y mejores ¡Son más aparatosos pero más seguros que este! Si alguien me puede dar la certeza de que es seguro cocinar con esto durante un buen rato ¡Sin que le de calor al cartucho de gas! ¡Agradecería la respuesta! ¡Gracias por lo demás es muy eficiente incluso en condiciones de viento!

Ich habe den Brenner jetzt ca. 1 Jahr und nehme ihn regelmäßig auf Wanderungen mit, am Gipfel gibts dann frischen Kaffee. Er ist super klein, leicht und ich hab sowohl Getränke als auch Essen (2 Portionen in 1600ml-Topf) zubereitet. Der Brenner ist stabil und die "Füßchen" kann man auch ein bisschen nach innen beugen, um z.B. eine kleine Kaffeemaschine (Bialetti Mini hat nur einen Bodendurchmesser von 7,5cm) drauf stellen zu können. Funktioniert problemlos.Ich hab zuerst ein Sturmfeuerzeug verwendet, allerdings verdampft da das Benzin, wenns länger liegt, weswegen ich auf einen Feuerstein umgestiegen bin. Kann ich empfehlen, funktioniert auch bei Wind gut. Zusätzlich hab ich ein Windschild, da am Gipfel häufig Wind geht, braucht man bei Windstille aber nicht.
