From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR 3 ounce PocketRocket defines ultralight for all you gram-counting backpackers. 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 stove 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 are a premium fast-and-light climbs and multi-day ascents included. Just remember, freezing temps reduce the performance of a canister stove drastically, so you may want a liquid fuel stove for wintertime excursions. *Fuel and fuel bottles sold separately."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"No prime, minimal grime. The compact and lightweight MSR PocketRocket is a superb canister stove for minimalist adventures and hassle-free weekend backpacking trips. This small design tucks away in the corner of most packs and features a profile smaller than most MSR IsoPro fuel canisters. Unlike liquid fuel stoves, there's no need to hassle with priming the stove--just turn the knob and light the burner. Hot water is moments away. One eight-ounce MSR IsoPro fuel canister will burn for a 60-minute average."
From RockCreek:
"At a mere 3 ounces, MSR's compact and powerful Pocket Rocket is the lightest in the Super Light category. It includes a durable fitted carrying case allowing the PocketRocket to fit into the smallest pack spaces. Made with high quality stainless steel, aluminum, and brass, the PocketRocket is durable and maintenance free. Simple in design, this stove requires no preheating, priming or pressurizing just twist the control valve and light. It quickly delivers a steady, hot flame that backcountry chefs can adjust to simmer or boil. Designed for use with MSR IsoPro Premium Blend Fuel for maximum efficiency, the PocketRocket also fits other threaded butane canisters. The PocketRocket excels on any trip where weight is a premium: minimalist overnight climbs or traverses, multi-day light alpine ascents, or expedition high-camps. BACKPACKER Magazine Tester Andy Dappen, said of the Pocket Rocket, "This midget flamethrower is one of the lightest backpacking stoves available, and the best cartridge stove I ve used."

My concern is the same as others, I often get quite scared about it tipping when using it."
