Wish everyone did product reviews like you. Honest, efficient, straight forward with no agenda to make a sale. Honestly the channels I watch are good about being upfront on sponsorships and promoted items, but it's nice to see reviews where I know you are telling me what you think about a product and making a real recommendation either way. It's one of the reasons why your my favorite channel 4 years running. The amazing overnight adventures and other outings don't hurt either. My time in the outdoors has been significantly improved through your sharing advice and knowledge as well as what products are going to make my time outside more enjoyable. Keep up the great work.

I’ve used all kinds for my truck based brew kit, Jetboil, Trangia, Robens micro, but honestly the best was the Webtex warrior (PocketRocket clone). It was such a good stove but today I just got this PocketRocket 2 and it oozes quality. Light, looks great, compact and great value. Got mine here in the U.K. for £25 after a little store discount. Can’t see me needing anything else after this. Keep the vids coming, love em. 👍🏻

Nice to see they made it compatible with us small pot users. That's the main reason I never got one. I found it odd that the original put out a narrow flame but only worked with wider pots. Why didn't they make the flame wider as well? That would have reduced burn spots and such. I definitely did not like wide flame stoves for narrow pots since a lot of the flame would just wrap around the sides. This seems to be a good combination.

Great review, after having a kovea titanium for many years, it got stolen and then began the upgrade hunt. after much debate my brother got the olicamp kinetic with their ring pot in a buy two for one deal. that thing is pretty damn good. For me the best stove out there. We tested it and found it used bugger all fuel, boiled 500ml in under 3 mins and using their pot reduced boiling and cooking times. we did a 5 night hike cooking pasta and noodles daily and i used half a 200g canister. very impressed. would love to get my hands on one of these to test.

I've used the PocketRocket for a few years now. Fantastic stove. When I saw this I juuust about bought it. Then I started looking into ultralight stoves just to see what was out there. Found the "BRS 3000T" stove on Amazon for a whopping $16 CAD! It weighs only 25g. Super tiny. I bought it just for the heck of it to try. Should be here (from Hong Kong hah) in a week or so. Still interested in trying out the PocketRocket 2 though.

I have the same one too Snow Peak from Hong Kong via Amazon.ca Keep in mind when you put larger pots on it, to make sure you put some water/food half full in it before you place it on the stove to balance for the weight of the larger sized pots/pans.You can't balance a pot on there then add the food later. Some people get it and at home just pull out their pot to test for size and balance, but don't put food or water in it as they are not going to cook indoors. They see it won't balance and that is because it is not weighted down.

Nice stove, top of the heap price too. I thought I'd remind people that also the smaller stoves that clamp onto canisters like that , some people test if their large pots will fit on the stove before they are filled with liquids or food. If they try to balance without anything in it. It will probably fall off. If they fill it first with weight, it will stay on, depending on the amount of weight and size put into the pot or pan if it stays balanced or not.

I purchased a 8.9 oz can of fuel over a year ago now, and have had it on half a dozen trips and I still have fuel in that sucker. including a trip where my uncle didn't know we were in a burn ban area and was planning on cooking by fire, so he had to use my stove as well. at least 15 days/nights on the trail and even a three nighter with two people cooking with it. and I cook stuff too btw, like rice and pasta and stuff where it takes a while to cook. so yeah, you never really need to blast these stoves where they are super loud. that's just being wasteful, and really what's the difference in 3 minutes to coffee and 5 minutes to coffee right? cheers

Other than the legs, it looks muck like the micro-rocket. I have been using the micro-rocket for 3 years. Like all canister stoves it does not work great in really cold conditions. In temps above about 40 F it works perfectly to boil water for coffee, Mt house, oatmeal etc. It will not let you down for 3 season use. In colder situations it still works if you keep the fuel in an inner pocket. A "Hand Warmer" or tea candle can warm up a cold fuel can quickly if you need to.
@DavidThomas-sv1tk

You can extend the use of a canister stove down to crazy low temperatures, by strapping a piece of copper sheet metal to the side of the canister and up into the flame. It conducts enough heat down to the caster to keep vaporizing butane/propane at very low temperatures. I've used it down to -21F/-29C. Google "Moulder Strip" and see various write-ups of it on Backpacking Light. Or, as you say, a tea candle or Bic lighter can heat a cold canister up or a bowl of cool / warm water can supply the heat. Some wind screens direct enough IR heat to the canister to help a fair bit, as well.
