PocketRocket 2 Mini Stove Kit

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A compact and lightweight kit that provides everything you need to start cooking outdoors. Just add fuel.

MSR says

The PocketRocket 2 Mini Stove Kit defines big performance in a tiny package. An ultra-compact cook-and-eat kit for minimalist solo backpackers, it features the fast-boiling PocketRocket 2 stove and is perfectly sized to make hot water for one pouch meal or cup of coffee.

For efficiency, its pot doubles as your eat-and-drink vessel and nests the stove and a 4 oz MSR fuel canister (sold separately). Outside, the extra bowl comes at no packing penalty. When small packs are mandatory on everything from alpine objectives to bikepacking missions, this micro cook kit is your ally.

Our Verdict

MSR’s PocketRocket 2 Mini Stove Kit is a perfect starter kit for anyone wanting to go lightweight. The Pocket Rocket 2 is a tried and tested stove that performs really well and has a decent weight and pack size. It goes perfectly with 750ml pot, nesting nicely inside.

750ml is ideal for 1 person to do a freeze-dried meal and a hot drink in one boil, or a good cup of tea each for two walkers.
