PocketRocket 2 Stove

Overall: Great product would recommend to anyone looking to go camping, or hiking. I bought this stove for when I went camping in Peak District and it was great. Boiled water pretty quickly with no issues. Stability wise I had no issues but I would recommend putting it in a slight dip in the ground to make sure it's nice and snug. Great value for money without spending a bomb, and really light and compact. Would recommend

Nice little stove. Good uses within outdoor requirements. This basic stove is lightweight , compact and has great power. Gas bottle supply is separate…. There are better yet more expensive stoves by the same brand in the same range but this lower model does the job for the price. Will also need a lighting tool.

I chose this stove based on many other reviews here on Amazon and I am glad that I did the necessary research first for what would be my first purchase of camping gear. Excellent product which is easy to use, very lightweight and comes in its own neat, little plastic case. I have bought the gas closer to home due to the cost of delivery (perhaps it has insurance costs due to it being a gas) but no matter. As for the stove itself, it is a cleverly engineered piece of kit with the pot rests maneuvered into position by simply lifting them from the side of the PocketRocket 2 and extending them. They automatically go to the right spot so there is no fiddling about with it. All in all an excellent product at a reasonable price. It was delivered within 2 days of purchase so very pleased. Used over a 3 day break on Hadrians Wall Trail in pretty strong winds - stayed alight the whole time and boils a pan of water in about 3-4 minutes; I liked the simmer feature too - delicious chili con carne (made myself in my dehydrator).

I still have my old Pocket rocket and it's going well but showing a little wear here and there. I also have the micro rocket, but ironically it's heavier than the pocket rocket when both are in their cases. This PR2 though seems to have the best elements of both earlier versions and retains its robust build quality while providing support for a wider range of cook pots, and shaving several grams off the weight. The new case design fits easily into most mugs and pots I use outdoors. The flame is incredibly powerful, and the burner does make quite a noise, but is very adjustable to allow low simmers etc. Excellent quality for the price.

Good stove. Not as fast as you might think! I have a cheap vango stove issued by my workplace, and in windy conditions the vango stove actually takes no less time than the MSR stove to boil a pot of water which really surprised me! I bought this (and a cheap titanium pot) to replace my decade old jetboil zip and I'm really happy with it as the whole setup is slightly lighter, a fair bit smaller and alot more versatile that the jetboil. HOWEVER in windy conditions the jet boil is second to none. I have an aluminium windguard which I have to use with the MSR stove, as without it, it takes an age to boil and so much heat is lost due to the wind blowing around the flame. The windguard adds to the size and weight of the setup, which means in some cases the jetboil is actually better option. However I've stuck with the pocket rocket stove for nearly six months now and will stick with it over the summer months for wildcamping and see what I think at the end of the year. Cost-wise, a titanium pot (£25) and MSR stove (£35) comes in at £60 total. A jetboil zip comes in at between £70-95, so the MSR stove option is definitely much better value for money, especially when you could use an aluminium pot, or metal army mug for about £10 instead of the titanium pot making the whole kit half the price of the jetboil and infinitely more versatile!!

Works well.

look really good can not wait to use it

This is brilliant. Perfect for hiking if you want to keep the weight down. Really fierce flame. Boils water really quick and works well in wind.

I will never go camping without my pocket rocket ever again! Game changing gear for coffee and boiling water for MREs , so easy to use and incredibly packable. Compact, functional, versatile, the only issue was lighting on the windy beach we could have used some wind protection. I will still use this when I bring my 2 burner camping stove so I can use the burners for cooking breakfast while simultaneously making coffee on pocket rocket .

Le MSR PocketRocket 2, c’est un peu le couteau suisse des réchauds : ultra-léger (73 g !), compact (il tient dans une poche) et incroyablement efficace. Il balance 2 400 W de puissance, de quoi faire bouillir 1 litre d’eau en environ 3,5 minutes – soit plus vite que le temps qu’il me faut pour retrouver mes allumettes au fond du sac. Les bras de support dentelés assurent une bonne stabilité, sauf si vous décidez de cuisiner sur une pente à 45° (faut pas non plus lui en demander trop). Il se visse sur une cartouche de gaz standard, et la molette de réglage permet de passer du mode “fusion nucléaire” au “mijotage presque délicat” avec une précision surprenante pour un truc de cette taille. Il ne possède pas d’allumage piezo, donc il faudra penser à prendre un briquet (ou espérer un éclair providentiel). Mais bon, vu son poids plume et son efficacité redoutable, on lui pardonne. En résumé : si vous voulez un réchaud fiable, puissant et qui ne pèse pas plus lourd qu’une barre énergétique, le PocketRocket 2 est un choix sans prise de tête. Par contre, si vous espériez un mode four pour cuire une pizza en bivouac, il va falloir revoir vos attentes.

Small, lightweight, well made. A must have for hikers and hunters who need a lightweight stove for backpack hunts and hiking.

Gaskocher ist super. Was nicht in die Beschreibung steht ist: Gas Kartusche nichtinbegriffen. Die Abbildung entspricht nicht was du geliefert bekommst. Du musst die Kartusche separat bestellen. Decathlon hat die gleiche Kartusche, viel billige als MSR.

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