This is the first MSR product I've purchased and it seems to be pretty robust and well made. It's small and light, heats water and food fast as it should. The simmer control is very good and precise. I use it at work and out on the trail combined with my Gsi pinnacle soloist cook set which the stove and gas fit neatly inside. I'd definitely buy one again, but hopefully this should last a good few years yet😁👍

Having used similar stoves in the past without great success I decided to 'invest' in a Jetboil Stove. Whilst these are super fast at boiling water, they're not designed for simmering, hence expect burnt food at the base of the cup, which is very awkward to remove. Reviews on the PR2 were encouraging, hence the purchase and I'm frankly delighted - it boils a brew almost as quickly as the JB but is equally efficient at heating and simmering in a range of pans (stainless/titanium/aluminium - all fine). Incredibly light and compact, it's replaced my JB for day-trips, overnights and long weekends, whether on foot, bike or car - would definitely recommend. Surprised that it didn't have an integral spark/piezo, but TBH if you're camping you'll have a lighter in the pack anyway and even if that runs out of gas, the flint wheel will be sufficient. Alternatively use matches or even the fire-steel, remembering of course that the hairs on your fingers will always grow back, eventually....Read full review

The Pocket Rocket 2 is a brilliant gas stove for one to two person use. I have the mini stove kit which includes a cooking pot/drinking cup, a plastic sleeve which fits round the pot and doubles as a second drinking cup, a lid/strainer and a lifting handle. In use the stove takes a minute or so to set up, I keep a couple of cheap lighters and the stove seems to spark into life even in a stiff wind. The flame is powerful and concentrated, think of this stove more for boiling liquids rather than heating up a wide pan. A good way to use the stove is to heat water for dehydrated meals. I took my stove on a long cycle the other day, boiled water to mix into a pouch of trail muesli and then used the spare boiled water to make warm diluting juice. The water took maybe three minutes to heat, the food was delicious and the energy boost far outweighed the weight penalty of carrying the stove. This really is a cracking little stove and I will taking it with me when I venture out on overnight bikepacking trips. It just works and works well. Recomended.Read full review

Upon opening this you can immediately tell it’s a much better quality than the other knock offs. It feels more robust and is certainly better made. It is also a little larger than say the BRS 3000 but having said that, the pot stand on the pocket rocket is more sturdier. Boils litre of water in under 4 minutes. Not too shabby at all. Comes with a plastic storage case as well.

A tiny, well engineered piece of equipment that I wish I had discovered long ago. Everyone has different needs and preferences, but for quick and clean cooking (with gas) on the move, this is hard to beat. Its safe in a small plastic case, too.
