MSR - PocketRocket Deluxe Stove

The gap between a basic canister stove and a genuinely capable backcountry cooking tool comes down to a few key features, and the MSR PocketRocket Deluxe packs all of them into an 83g package that barely registers in your hand.

The pressure regulator is what separates this stove from the standard PocketRocket 2. It maintains consistent output and fast boil times even as temperatures drop and the canister empties, two conditions that cause unregulated stoves to underperform precisely when you need them most. On a cold Canadian morning at elevation, that consistency is worth every one of the ten extra grams over the base model. The broad burner head improves wind resistance and heat distribution across the cooking surface, and combined with the simmer control and wind-blocking burner lip, it gives you genuine cooking versatility beyond just boiling water fast.

The push-start piezo igniter is the most durable MSR has built into a stove at this size, with the spark element protected inside the burner head rather than exposed where it takes the most abuse. At 2.9 oz it remains firmly in ultralight territory while delivering a cooking experience that punches well above its weight class.
