User questions & answers

Question:	What is the smallest pot diameter this stove will hold? I have a small pot that is only 3.5" in diameter and think it may not be stable. Thanks
Answer:	Measuring tip to tip on the supportsame is 4 1/8 inches. I wouldn't go smaller than 3.5 but I think you're good. Make certain the stove is on a level surface. It works great. Get a small GSI coffee pot.
Question:	How adjustable is the heat
Answer:	Very adjustable. You can turn it up full (rocket) or turn it down for a nice simmer.
Question:	How long does a fuel canister last with this stove? Planning a trip would like to know how many canisters it would take for a week
Answer:	I recently took a 3 day 2 night trip with this stove and a single 110 gram canister. I Used it to make breakfast 2 cups water in a Mountain House scrambled eggs with bacon and 2 large cups of coffee. Then dinner was very similar. So I used it 4 times to boil about 4 cups of water each time. I still had enough fuel left for a couple more meals. Use a windscreen, a wide base pot like an Imusa .9 quart grease pot. I would think a single 230 to 250 gram canister would be enough. If you want to have a backup use an alcohol stove. I do regardless.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	The MSR Pocket Rocket is made in Korea.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could I use a 12 inch skillet with this even though it says maximum is 10 inches
Answer:	On a stable, level surface I suppose you could. Curious why you would backpack with a 12” skillet though.
Question:	does the MSR tank come w/ this
Answer:	Hi the MSR St90ove doesn't include a tank. There are three sizes, small, medium, large - where I use a medium (600mL) which lasts two weeks of hardcore usage when bicycle touring. They also fit into water bottle cages on a bicycle which is quite nice for the size and to make it easier to pack, which could also work if you are backpacking and need to strap it onto something. The pump assembly comes with the stove.
Question:	How flexible is the fuel line? And can the fuel battle operate Aaron an angle other than parallel to the table (45 degree incline?g
Answer:	The fuel line provided with the stove is moderately stiff when new and becomes a little more supple with use. When new it will take a 90 degree bend without much effort but it is short and making such a bend would place the fuel bottle too close to the burner unit to be safe and/or to use the wind shield. I have not experimented with changing the angle/tilt of the fuel bottle. At some point it will stop feeding fuel to the stove but I don't know what that angle is. Rather than trial and error I would suggest a question to the manufacturer as the safest alternative for figuring this out. You have me wondering though so I may beat you to the answer if someone else responding to your question doesn't already have the answer.
Question:	what does this come with? REI has heat reflector, windscreen, pump and sack
Answer:	This is same as rei. Wind screen / heat reflector, pump, sack, and some basic tools/maintenance stuff. You will need to buy fuel bottle (small is good for weekend trips I rarely use half of that to boil water for meals for 2-3 ppl, a full bottle easily would last me 3-4 days), fuel ( I use Coleman camp gas/ white gas, bit I believe you can also use kerosene or diesel), and whatever pot you want to cook/boil with. Very good stove! Had mine about a year and its so much nicer than any other stove I've used.

User questions & answers

Question:	what stand (tripod) do you guys use
Answer:	I do not use a tripod with the stove and it is very stable.
Question:	I think the one i bought has broken. there is no gas flow. how can i get fixed? and how much will it cost
Answer:	I have had very good success with exchanging MSR products with MSR, normally at no cost. I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington state, so it is just a short drive. I would strongly recommend that you give MSR a call. My 25 year history with MSR has been fantastic with me just having to occasionally pay for the shipping of the item to MSR. It is worth getting fixed. I have used mine numerous time while mountain climbing is very cold, windy and rainy conditions with no issues!
Question:	Does the product package include gas canister? Is the fuel canister sold separately
Answer:	This product does not include a fuel canister, it must be purchased separately. I would suggest purchasing MSR fuel apposed to other brands. I have fond that MSR uses a blend of 80% isobutane and 20% propane while most others us a 70/30 blend. At higher elevations and colder weather the 80/20 mixture performs much better than the 70/30 mix.
Question:	What is the max altitude this stove will work at
Answer:	I've used it at 14,433 feet on top of Mount Elbert in Colorado before. No issues. The only issue is ambient temperature. Once you get down to 20F or so, the Isobutate does not evaporate very fast, so the gas pressure drops way down, and the burner doesn't put out nearly as much heat. A simple solution to this is to bring a small plastic bowl, and pour some warm water in the bowl, then put the gas cylinder (With stove on top) in the water. The heat from the water will force the evaporation of the gas, and bring the stove back to full power. (Careful, HOT water could cause the cylinder to over pressurize. I get the water to around 100F temp and it works great.
