Review by powerpuffgirl

Good Features
 Extremely small and light, it's probably one of the best stoves in its price range. It's very simple to set up and the large control valve is easy to use with gloves on. There are also ridges on the arms to better hold your cookware.

Bad Features
 It'd fairly unstable so you need to place it on a flat surface. There is no windscreen so boiling will take more time than advertised. Also, it's pretty bad for simmering.

From Travel Country:
At a mere 3 ounces, the MSR PocketRocket Stove is a compact and powerful butane stove that 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, thePocketRocket 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 ultimate entry-level offering in MSR’s new IsoPro Stove Line, the PocketRocket was designed for the Fast-and-Light™ set. It excels on any trip where weight is a premium: minimalist overnight climbs or traverses, multi-day light alpine ascents, or expedition high-camps.
