MSR PocketRocket 2 Ultralight Stove – Ultra-Compact Backpacking Stove

Lightweight design for fast trips

When speed and lightness matter on a backcountry trip, the MSR PocketRocket 2 delivers a confident flame in a featherweight package. This ultralight stove is designed for minimalist adventures, from quick coffee on alpine mornings to simmered sauces after long hikes. The two available styles—PR 2 Ultra Compact and PR Deluxe with Piezo Igniter—give you flexible options without adding bulk. Bare stove weight hovers around 2.6 to 2.9 ounces, and the open profile measures about 4.8 x 4.8 x 3.6 inches, while it collapses to a compact 2 x 2 x 3 inches for packing. With the included case, it remains easily portable for backpackers and travelers seeking reliable performance in a small footprint.

Two compact variants give you options: the PR 2 Ultra Compact and the PR Deluxe with Piezo Igniter. At about 2.6 to 2.9 ounces of bare stove weight, and a compact open profile around 4.8 by 4.8 by 3.6 inches, it packs down small and light. When stowed, it weighs just a bit more with the included case, yet remains incredibly portable for backpackers and travelers who want reliable performance without extra bulk.

Performance you can rely on in the outdoors

Boiling speed and flame control help you cook with confidence outside. The PocketRocket 2 can boil one liter of water in roughly 3.5 minutes, depending on conditions, and the flame can be dialed from a gentle simmer to a rolling boil for temperature-controlled cooking. A stable, serrated pot-support system accommodates a wide range of pot sizes and styles, making it easier to adapt to different meals on the trail.
