Bought as a \"just in case backup\" to my Brunton Optimus Nova (super equipment) or as a second stove when with a larger group. Fits these roles perfectly. Weight +++++, size +++++, balance +++, performance +++ (see next point) value for $ +++++. Tried it a few times on a November trip (~ -4 to -6)and the system (assume it is the compressed gas) was slow to boil. But if it was all I had would save the day no question. Highly recommended for single user and great backup.

I have found this stove to be great for those trips that weight is a factor. You can't beat it for size and I have found that the fuel is becoming more popular. I found I could get about 1-1.5 hours of aveage useage out of it.

Great little product. I have not had any problems with the stability of this stove (it obviously is not meant to feed 8 people) - The serated pot stands work quite well if you have a pot set with ridged bottoms. The fuel is quite easy to find? You are nost limited to the red MSR bottles. Any bottles that use the standard screw type will work, such as Primus (these types are available at Canadian tire now)

True to the manufacturers description the PocketRocket is indeed a lightweight, small sized stove capable of boiling water quicker than you can make a trip to the thunderbox and back. I switched from my old reliable whisperlite this summer and have been enjoying meals that require simmering like scrambled eggs and pancakes and which the whisperlite used to blacken. The PocketRocket not only simmers perfectly, it is a snap to light and works very well even in high winds. On the downside the fuel canisters are not available everywhere and are non-reusable. It is a fairly sturdy stove but since the stove sits atop the canister, which has a fairly small circumference, it can be tippy on uneven ground. Fuel is more expensive than white gas with canisters costing $7.00 at MEC and delivering about an hour of constant high output or 2 hours of regular usage.

The Pocket Rocket is as good as it gets for a little cannister stove. I enjoy having it for day trips or short stays (one or two nights) I have used this stove quite often in the mountains,... no issues. Great little stove. It is no substitute for a Dragonfly,...but a great little stove just the same.
