User Review: MSR PocketRocket

MSR PocketRocket
Above: The current PocketRocket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $35

The stove is an effective one. I first got to try it out in South Dakota in December. The cold didn't seem to bother it at all. It's light as hell, it heats up fast and MSR makes durable good products so I'm pretty confident it will be as good in 4 years as when I got it over 1 year ago.

The negative is obvious, go sit on a 3 legged stool. You need to make sure your pot is balanced.

All in all, if you're like me you're between the PocketRocket and the Superfly. I think it's a good choice to go with the PocketRocket. The Superfly doesn't seem that much more stable than the PocketRocket.
