FLTGear.com's Review of MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove
Hard to believe that a stove that only weighs 2.6 oz can put out so much heat. Considering that most of my other stoves are 10000 BTU's, and the PocketRocket is 8200, it still does a nice job. The wire loop flame adjuster is easy to reach and control. MSR says this stove can hold an eight inch diameter pot, which seems to be a stretch. I don't think I'd try that without adding a canister stand. You lose some stability by making the stove fold into a small size - my Primus Classic stove is clunky, but very stable. Also like my Primus stoves, you can't add a windscreen.
As someone else mentioned, the folding seems a bit clumsy at first. Probably because it does compact down into such a small size. The carrying case is a nice addition to keep the stove from getting damaged when stuffed in a pannier.
