MSR Pocket Rocket is an Ok stove all be it with a very focused flame.

Most stoves that take 'screw on' canisters are designed to accept canisters made to EN417 standard.

I'd personally avoid anything using a Camping Gaz connection system. Not that there is anything wrong with em but the cannisters can be more difficult to find.


The Webtex warrior also takes EN417 canisters and is a clone of the Pocket rocket. It's less expensive but not as well built as the real thing.

I use an MSR Pocket Rocket clone called the Intensity sold by Gelert. It's a great little stove, very light and strong.
The flame head is a bit narrow which can lead to a hot spot in a wide base pot but I've not had a problem with this.
Design differences are very minor so a quick search for the spec's the Rocket should give you a good idea of the Intensity.
The Gelert stove also comes with a neat little plastic box which prevents the stove legs poking holes in you rucksack.

I have the plus2city version of the Markill Peak Ignition Lightweight Stove. Cost around £12 delivered from Hong Kong. Fits inside my titanium pot with a small gas cartridge. They also do a version of the Webtex stove.

MSR Pocket Rockets are the biz. They are tiny, lite and heat things up quickly. What more could you want?

i have a brunton flex. I dont know what your definition of *ultra light* is, but its super light to me ? - It fits in the concave bottom of a gas canister, and comes with a little material holder that holds it there.

i think the weight is 3.4oz, about 100 gramms

Thats where I bought my stove. Apart from being a bit slowish to deliver, no problems. I think they have an e bay presence.
