MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove

One of the most trusted ultralight canister stoves on the market, refined into an even smaller and lighter package. The PocketRocket 2 delivers fast, reliable boil performance at 2.6 ounces with wind resistance and simmer control that most stoves in this weight class can't match.

Highlights

• 2.6 ounce total weight — Barely noticeable in your pack and justifiable on any objective where weight is evaluated. The weight benchmark that most ultralight stove comparisons start from.
• 1 liter boil in 3.5 minutes — Fast, consistent boil performance that holds up across canister fuel levels. A reliable number you can plan your fuel consumption around.
• WindClip windshield — A focused burner and integrated wind protection that maintains a persistent, solid flame in breezy conditions where an unshielded stove loses efficiency dramatically. A practical field advantage on exposed alpine terrain and open campsites.
• Precision flame control from torch to simmer — Full range heat adjustment for real cooking beyond boiling water. A meaningful capability at a weight class where most stoves offer little more than an on/off flame.
• Folding pot supports with wide vessel compatibility — Pack exceptionally small and accommodate a wider range of pots and cups than the original PocketRocket. Pairs particularly well with the MSR Titan Kettle for a fast and light integrated kit.
• Hard-shell carry case included — Protects the stove in your pack and keeps the folding supports from snagging on gear.

Best for

Ultralight backpackers, alpine climbers, and minimalist packers who want a fast, reliable canister stove that genuinely disappears in their kit. A strong standalone stove for anyone building a custom cook setup around their existing pot or kettle.

Compatibility Note

Best results with MSR IsoPro fuel. Does not include a push-button igniter. Bring a lighter or matches. Fuel sold separately.
