MSR PocketRocket Ultralight Backpacking, Camping, and Travel Stove

Rather than time to boil (which seems to be the most commonly mentioned statistic of stoves), I am more concerned with fuel burn. Earlier today, I performed a little experiment on how to adjust the valve (flame) for more efficient use of fuel. In my case, I listed my findings on my own domain, but not sure if Amazon permits links. But I'll try to do it It is JGP1. Please find here a cut-and-paste of the webpage I put up, though I am certain the formatting will not be as appealing as it is there. Earlier this year I bought a MSR Pocket Rocket 2 stove, and I had an interest in finding out how efficiently the stove burns fuel compared to how long it takes To demonstrate my point, I did a little experiment that was Even so, I still gleaned a little information from this silly experiment that I wouldn't otherwise have located while researching the innernuts souper hi-tech laptop You can. The time to boil water seems to be the only thing everyone posts about. As far as boiling water is concerned, I care more about how much fuel I burn. Here are the materials I used for the experiments Please note I just found Jetboil "JetPower" fuel (a barely used 16oz (net weight) can)* - A single-serving 2 L bottle The lid is not used on the wall titanium cook pot - - 16 ounces of well water at 60 degrees F (new water for every test) The temperature is 70 degrees, there is no wind, etc.
This process has the following parameters *250' elevation*

Please note To be as accurate as possible, the stove is weighed multiple times with a gas cylinder attached. The weights are both in ounces and grams (I used grams for my GpS calculation)*- It takes about ten minutes to measure and pour the water into the pot. The poured pot is Please note Ensure that the flame on the stove is as small as Please note An adjustment is made to the flame and the timer is immediately activated. Please note Into the water, about 1/4" above the base of the pot, you place a digital temperature probe. Please note When the temperature of the water drops below a certain threshold, the timer is shut off A temperature of 212 degrees. Please note For the "end weight" of a stove and a gas cylinder, those two elements are weighed. Please note In order to proceed with the next test, the stove and pot have to be cooled to room temperature. You'll be able to see that weights tend to stay the same with each test, even though they have been weighed before each test.

Using the above as a guide, I have made the following conclusions The winner is The 1/4 turn is as follows In my opinion, it seems that the sweet spot is at the point when the flame starts to "roar". It creates enough heat to boil water, and it has a much better efficiency GpS) than at valve settings with more opened valves The GPS position of at least 07 receivers). It is also within reason to boil for a certain amount of time. * * * 1/2 Unless you are able to spare a few more seconds to get a boil going, it's best to put it there. Not sure I will ever use this! Assuming that things will change at altitude (though in reality things are more likely to It is the stove that is most efficient, followed by GPS On the other hand, keep the flame at a low level. A very efficient method of heating that will last for a long time. The water won't quite boil but if you have a book to read it will get pretty close. GpS- although I did not test a warming flame below 1/8th turn, I am guessing even a very tiny flame would be extremely efficient It is wise to take 1 turn. This is useless in my opinion, because it is slightly more efficient than 1/2 turn, but a lot of heat gets lost As I held the digital thermometer over the pot, I had to put on a kitchen mitt. didn't carry a mitt in my backpack so I used an extra kitchen mitt to grab the pot's handles at the end of the test. It may be helpful to use a wider pot in order to contain heat that escapes. In 1, using the following sentence structure I used a 2L pot, which is 5" in diameter, because that is the largest pot I have and use. Although it is quite possible that a wider pot may affect how effective a more open valve is In particular, all the heat I lost while conducting my experiment was alarming. Fuel in the amount of 10 grams). In contrast, the efficiency would be impacted more by the control of the operating temperature after boiling point has been reached. If you were to turn 1/4 turn, you'd need to reduce fuel consumption over a longer period of time. If you turn the flame down after reaching boiling, it will be even better. What is the maximum amount of water this can of gas will boil? b) how many times you can boil water from one fuel can. It is simpler to do the math if you use the Net Weight of fuel canisters and the Fuel Consumed as the "standard". I am using 450g of net weight for my 16oz JetBoil fuel can. The product of 450 times 10 is There are 45 pots of boiling water, so it will take around 0 minutes. 22 grams is an 8oz MSR canister, so 227 grams is The boiling water has been poured into seven pots. For an average household, how long would it take this can of gas to A GpS of 0 is the average for the MSR. As a result, CanisterNetWeight / 0 will be used. For example, a canister of 450g would equal 054548 seconds. This is 450/20. This is equal to 8,249 if you multiply by 054548. The answer is 137 because 653 seconds / 60 seconds equals 653. A 494 minute/60 second week has a 2 second week. There is a 227g canister capable of holding 292 hours of power No. 227. A value of 4,161 can be obtained by multiplying 054548 by 4. Four hundred and ninety-one seconds divided by sixty equals There are 358 minutes in a day and 60 minutes in a day. It takes 156 hours to complete this course. The above chart shows the run time to achieve boiling pots of water

Another way to look at it is the min/max run time.
The least efficient was at half a Using this formula, we can get 6,019 as 074763. The product of 020104 sec / 60 equals A figure of 1 can be found by multiplying 317 minutes by sixty. At 1/8 turn, the most efficient rotation took 672 hours. In the year 016029, the number is I'm going to divide 116 seconds by 60 seconds to get Nine hundred and twenty-two minutes divided by sixty equals seven. It will take somewhere between *1 to 798 hours, so that is going to range from *1 to 8. It will take 5 hours to 7 hours. A continuous burn of 75 hours. * Take note Running "run run run" is as simple as that. You might be boiling water, grilling a cheeseburger, or setting the temperature on your tent (woah!.

A temperature of 50 degrees was outside. The show lasted about an hour and a half. It's a wide open day for 2 hours! In my test, I used the Esbit Stove Aluminum 2 to boil water. There are five cups in the As I heated it nostop, I noticed the gas came out of the canister a little slower at first because the gas in the canister chilled down as I heated it. During the boiling process, I was boiling 2 cups of water. About the same time it takes to make a 5 cup pot We had 36 at the beginning of the event and about 3 by the end A canister was nearly empty at 3 o'clock in the morning. I'd say, if we take the worst case, that the water The price is $1. 50 per 2 pieces. It will take you two hours to boil a 5 cup pot, so that is 40 minutes. Pots of water with a capacity of 5 cups. 40 Mountain House packet meals can be made with this amount. Thirteen days of boiling water for three meals each day is a lot of water to boil! There is a cheap non-rechargeable mp3 player I have There are many $10 pocket rockets on the market today, but when compared to the PocketRocket 2 from MSR, the difference in quality becomes evident.

I tried, but it didn't work. The stove rocks back and forth on the little Phillip's head screw, making it sound louder than usual and more inefficient in a light breeze, especially in a strong wind. It's cheaply made for the premium price. It is a bad design to have a pot stand A remote leveling does not appear to be possible. You will scorch items you are trying to heat on the lowest heat setting since all the heat is contained within the pot. I completely ignored all the hype on YouTube about this stove. It should be sold for $7, not $30. In my opinion, 99 is the right number. It ended up being a loss on eBay for me since I sold mine. The company seems to be trying to make a lot of money off a cheap Chinese oven. Stoves sold by MSR do not qualify for a return. You should have a clue by now. Immediately after I bought it, it began to rust. Soto Windmaster for $51 was the product I purchased in the end. A leap and a bound ahead of the Pocket Rocket 2, this system is designed for the 96. It is embarrassing for MSR to brand this stove with its name.

I'm very happy with the pocket rocket! In my own experiment, I found that my results were quite accurate. In this test, I compared the pocket rocket 2 with a pocket stove that was also sold by Amazon for $8. Water comes to a boil much faster with the pocket rocket than with the $8 model. But only the $8 one uses a little less fuel to boil water (it is not by much). While the pocket rocket is lighter than its $8 counterpart, when they are in their respective cases there is no difference in weight. In addition, the pocket rocket also doesn't pack away as small as the $8 model. If speed is what you're looking for, the pocket rocket will do the job. However, if I had to choose, the $8 one would be a better pick because it gives me a 20% discount on a pocket rocket and conserves fuel.

Throughout the years, I have used many different types of stoves. A brass-faced little Quite possibly the biggest Jet Boil of all time. This minimalist stick burner is perfect for solo use. Campfires are all about compromises, and that's what's good about them. You are overweight. There is space. A fuel source is readily available. Using the software is easy. It is impossible to find a As I mentioned before, the MSR Pocket Rocket 2, however, is not bad at all. The device is very light and takes up very little space. In addition to the PR2, I bought a piezo ignitor from MSR which conveniently fits into the case of Efficiencies - It works pretty well as far as that is concerned. In contrast to, say, the Jet Boil, it takes longer than this to bring a half liter of water to boil. Despite its size and weight, it is considerably smaller and lighter than a full J. B. set up. This stove outperforms a liquid gas stove or a stick burner in almost every way- When the wind blows, that's especially true. You can even set up a windbreak so that this thing can really cook. With so many compromises out there, I don't think you can go wrong with the MSR PR2 if you want to go fast and light, but also want the convenience of a hot beverage or meal after setting up Backpackers should definitely check this out.

After using the new PocketRocket 2 for a 100-mile trip in Washington, the new gadget got corroded by a little moisture and it has now broken at least half of one leg, and is not even portable. There is no specific reason for this, possibly it was made from the material for the center part of the pocketrocket, but it is a problem that the original PocketRocket doesn't have that I have used for almost a decade. There is nothing good about this product, I don't recommend it I was really let down by MSR.
