#1 Pick — Camp Stoves
MSR PocketRocket 2 Ultralight Backpacking Stove
$49.95
The MSR PocketRocket 2 is a 2.6-ounce screw-on canister stove for backpackers who want hot water and simple meals without carrying a bulky cooking system. Its folding pot supports and precise flame control make it a practical match for one or two hikers using compact pots; it can boil a liter of water in roughly 3.5 minutes in calm conditions. It runs on isobutane-propane canisters, so plan fuel size around your meals and shelter the burner from wind.
