MSR’s PocketRocket stoves have been favorites among backpackers for more than a decade. We’ve always found these ultralight and compact stoves reliable and easy to use—a solid choice for elite adventurers and first-timers alike.

The original PocketRocket model quickly became MSR’s bestselling stove. Refining it further, MSR launched the PocketRocket 2—an even smaller and lighter high-performance stove that keeps travelers cooking fast and moving fast in the backcountry.

Now MSR’s PocketRocket Deluxe Stove Kit (above) takes ultralight adventures up a notch with primo features that enhance your cooking experience on the trail. This is a mini-kitchen ready to thrive in the most rugged environments. Sized for two but light enough for one, the kit comes equipped with MSR’s pressure-regulated, crazy-fast-boiling PocketRocket Deluxe stove that nests in the kit’s ultra-compact Trail Mini Duo Cook Set. Backpackers and bikepackers alike will appreciate the stove’s push-start ignition, consistently fast boil times (even when fuel and temperatures are low), and broad burner for more versatile cooking and simmering. The 1.2 L pot is the ideal capacity for boiling water for two pouch meals or cups of coffee, while the included bowl adds a second eating/drinking vessel for sharing with a trail partner.
