I have one, but someone reviewd one on here and it was identical but half the price, maybe on the review page, I think its great, i use my msr titan kettle or my msr ti cup to brew up, the pocket rocket fits inside the kettle!!

Hey giz, i have one and used it a few times, only got it at christmas last year but I havent been out much. It does seem really good for a brew, although I wouldn't use anything to large on it as it will likely topple. It boils the water pretty fast, folds down small and comes with a cheap red plastic case, if your lucky you can slide a few matches down the side.

I did try and boil some water up in a crusader cup and it was a bit wobbly but I managed to make it stable. i havent tried anything larger.

I havent cooked food on it in a billy yet but I would imagine the heat would be pretty focused on a small area, but I would'nt mind finding out other people's experiences with it as well.

Cheers,
Andy

I agree with you on the hot spot thing, i just boil water in it, the titan kettle is wide at the base so it keeps stable, its just a fancy cup really, as for cooking it wouldnt be great but for a cuppa its perfect.

I've had mine for years and years and its not missed a beat!

Whichever version you go for its a cracking little stove! Like already said, it can be a little unstable if used on a large gas canister or a tall pot, but if you are careful, its fine.
