I’ve no enterprise with gasoline stoves, I don’t discover alcohol stoves sensible and environment friendly. That’s why I thought of solely gas-fired screw cartridge cookers. Due to the deepening financial disaster in the previous few years, not many camp stoves are imported into our nation. Quality choices are restricted to MSR, Kovea and Primus. There is not any alternative between Primus fashions, apart from just a few ineffective variants left. Since there may be not a lot selection right here, I additionally researched choices overseas. I even considered ordering the Primus Micron, which was beforehand reviewed on an intermediate website, however Pocket Rocket 2 managed to persuade me due to its lightness and ultra-compact form when folded.
Before I transfer on to the evaluate, let me speak about my bother with the Pocket Rocket 1 and what brought on it. After shifting to Antalya, I acquired into the behavior of going to the seaside by bike and cooking espresso. I’ve used the Pocket Rocket a lot within the final 3 years that its tooth have melted from disassembling it, it’s not attainable to screw in cartridges. However, if I had a 50-100 lira Aliexpress range, I’d solely use MSR for backpacking, possibly I may handle for 8-10 extra years. For each day actions the place you do not have to fret about weight, go away your costly supplies at residence and use cheaper alternate options.
MSR Pocket Rocket 2
In Pocket Rocket 2, foldable ft, which MSR tried for the primary time within the MicroRocket range, had been used. Compared to the previous era Pocket Rocket, these ft take up a lot much less house when the hob is folded. I could not match the primary era Pocket Rocket right into a 500ml titanium pot. Pocket Rocket 2 matches simply. In addition to the range, I can match supplies equivalent to collapsible glasses and sugar-salt into the pot.
Pocket Rocket 2 weighs 73 grams and is 9 grams lighter than the primary era Pocket Rocket. The solely similarity between them and the previous era range is the burner (head) part. The metallic piece on the burner divides the burner into three and prevents the range from going out by reducing the wind blowing from completely different instructions to a sure extent. As lengthy because it is not blowing too exhausting, I’d say it really works properly in regular winds. For outside use in mountain situations with excessive winds, it’s best to take into account an answer equivalent to Jetboil or MSR Windburner.
The ft of the hob are of a fragile construction, however it might probably carry the pots and light-weight pots positioned on it in a balanced method. It is just a little troublesome to fold and unfold the legs. If you need to use the Pocket Rocket 2 for a very long time, I like to recommend being mild when folding and unfolding the ft.
No gasket is used on the outer a part of the hob in Pocket Rocket 2. They will need to have thought the gasket inside would suffice. Sometimes, when the variety of threads was inadequate in screw cartridges of various manufacturers, it was essential to take away the gasket to ensure that the gasoline movement to be wholesome. In Pocket Rocket 2 that is not an issue.
I can’t give a constructive or destructive opinion on the gasoline consumption of the range. When I examine it with the cookers I’ve used right now, I can say that there isn’t any important distinction between them. A nature lover dwelling overseas, obsessive about tenting gear, in contrast Pocket Rocket 2 with Jetboil MightyMo with the meticulousness of a jeweler. Jetboil supposedly consumes just a few grams much less gasoline. This could also be associated to the regulator. A cooktop with a Jetboil MightyMo regulator. Likewise, MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe additionally has a regulator. There are feedback that Deluxe’s gasoline consumption is much less in comparison with Pocket Rocket 2. There is a not so important distinction as 1/15, however remember that regulators are offered with nearly twice the value distinction. It is feasible to say that the fashions with the regulator will work extra secure in very chilly climate and at excessive altitude. Of course, remember that the extra sophisticated the system turns into, the extra issues it’s possible you’ll encounter equivalent to malfunctions and clogging. Until now, I’ve not felt the necessity to use a regulator range in Turkish situations. I feel in case you are primarily engaged in winter mountaineering, take into account fashions with regulators.

- Compact construction
