Product Description
The MSR PocketRocket stove weighs only 3 ounces that's almost nothing. Perfect for gram counting freaks, the PocketRocket defines ultra-light. Its compact stature does not eliminate functional controls, as there is no preheating, priming or pressurizing required. Just twist the glove-friendly control valve and light. The PocketRocket quickly delivers a steady, hot flame that backcountry chefs can adjust to a simmer or boil without taking off their mitts. It excels on any trip where weight and a hot meal is a premium; fast-and-light climbs and multi-day ascents included. Just remember, freezing temps reduce the performance of a canister stove drastically, you may want a liquid fuel stove for wintertime excursions. The PocketRocket is designed for use with MSR IsoPro Premium Blend Fuel. Fuel and fuel bottles sold separately.
Amazon.com Product Description
Pack light, but carry a powerful stove with the palm-sized MSR 11792 Pocket Rocket, which weighs just 3 ounces and measures 4 by 4 by 2 inches. It offers fast and simple lighting, with no need for priming, pressurizing or maintenance, and it will boil a liter of water in under 3.5 minutes. The glove-friendly controls allow precise flame adjustment and stability, while the micro-burner, tri-sectional Windclip Windshield clip protects flame in light wind gusts. It uses clean burning MSR IsoPro premium fuel. Stove Tips: - MSR recommends 4 oz. (114ml) of liquid fuel per person per day for cooking or 8 oz. (237ml) of liquid fuel per person per day for melting snow and cooking.
- At high altitude, MSR stoves may burn "rich," which hinders vaporization. Reducing fuel bottle pressure and opening up the windscreen can offset this.
- MSR's stoves burn best when the fuel bottle is pressurized to 15-25 psi (1034-1724 mb). That's equivalent to about 20 pump strokes for a full 22-ounce MSR fuel bottle. As the fuel burns, the air space in bottle grows larger, and pressure decreases. You'll have to pump more to maintain the same pressure.

 The best backpacking stove out there October 12, 2008
MSR has always set the standard for safe, lightweight and technically superior products and this stove is no exception. The Pocket Rocket is very appropriately named. The stove sits snugly inside a triangular plastic sleeve which can easily fit in your pants pocket. The arms can balance my 1.5 liter pot without seeming precarious and have the water inside boiling in less than 3 minutes in cool Kentucky temperatures. As other reviews have stated this is definitely for the fast-and-light crowd, it's not a Coleman 2 burner stove, but it does exactly what it set out to do.
 Perfect Ultralight Stove August 5, 2008
This little stove is perfect for the backpacker who is concerned with weight. Make sure you keep one fuel canister in your sleeping bag at night with you, and it will work down to 30 degrees no problem. I boil 2 pots of water per day, and one canister is good for 10 pots of water. I also use heavy-duty foil as a wind screen. It sets up and lights in a minute without any problems so far.
I am not a foodie on the trail, since I prefer to pack light, so I pack instant soups, instant oatmeal, instant coffee, freeze-dried meals, string cheese, jerky, and instant hot chocolate. That makes my kitchen kit very simple - one unbreakable plastic spork, a 1.6 liter titanium pot, the MSR pocketrocket stove, and fuel. I make the oatmeal & soups in the pot, and the drinks in one of the two water bottles I carry. Minimal mess, no fuss, minimal weight.
Don't buy this stove if you are actually cooking real food. It is perfect for the backpacker who just needs to boil water, which is all I ever do with this stove.
Compact and easy to use! December 10, 2007

This is a light-weight and extremely compact stove. Easy to use! It heats things up really fast, but you have to watch out as the heat is focused on a small area -- you will have to constantly stir your food. Overall, great product!

If you want a stove that can evenly cook a frying pan sized object for a gourmet meal, this isn't it.
If you want something for a high wind, high altitude arctic adventure, not this.
However, this thing weighs *nothing*, and heats water like no one's business. The container it folds into fits inside of my smallest enamel mug. It heats really quickly, requires no maintenance, and is very, very easy to light.
It's aided greatly by a windscreen, which I fashion out of tin foil.

Pros: light, compact, easy to light, great for boiling water
Cons: stability (common sense must prevail), wind protection advised, gauging fuel remaining.
Great product for backpacking. I haven't tried it in the cold yet, but will get to in January '08.
