When Eddie (the Manager of Young’s Backpacking) first pulled out the MSR Pocket Rocket in its little case I thought he was joking. Smaller than a Coke can, the Pocket Rocket is insanely small and lightweight yet is able to perform most camp cooking/boiling duties. It’s also extremely easy to use and can be up and running in less than a minute. On top of that, the price tag puts it within reach of any camper/backpacker looking for a good reliable stove. Highly recommended! – Weighs just 3 oz. (85 g) – Dimensions: 4 x 2 x 2 in. (10.2 x 5. x 5.1 cm).

Let’s Take a look at the MSR Pocket Rocket Camp Stove. This stove is fueled by Isopro fuel cylinders. It weights in at 3 oz. in the carry case. This lightweight backpacking stove is a great option for cooking and preparing food at camp, in the field, on the trail or in a bug out situation. It is also very affordable at around .00. I will show you the stove, how it functions and test it for an approximate boil time.

Camping Stove Design Part I: Vertical Wick to Extend Power Range

Comments (12)

Vertical placement of wick material in camp stoves of height to diameter ratios greater than 1/4 can substantially increase power over that of stoves that lay wick or simple alcohol fuel in the bottom of the container. This video contains material that is sort of an inside joke between some camp stove designer enthusiast youtubers. We are all looking for that ultimate stove known as the ultralight backpacing camping stove “holy grail.” I do a little affectionately intended jesting with Joshua (aka terrafirma369), placing him in the role as “Grasshopper” — Caine played by David Carradine in the 1970′s TV series “Kung Fu” (Joshua is a martial arts enthusiast in real life), and myself as his Master Teacher, Kahn. You see, Joshua had crafted the very stove I had envisioned to make several months before I even conceived of it. (A picture of it is presented in this video. He did such a nice job of it, producing a well tuned stove with an efficient blue flame. Total artistic genius–there was no point for me to reproduce what he had already perfected. Now the pebble is in my hand (the vertical wick power concept), lol, and let’s see if he can snatch it out so as to liberate himself from the subjective role as my student! : )

Homemade stove burning alcohol and white gas mixture

This is still the same coil pipe stove – midi what I uploaded before. The only difference is that burner has smaller jet than alcohol burner has. That is less than 1 mm. I think that smaller jet provides with longer burning time, but it has to be tested. It still burns pure alcohol, but about it hopefully in next video.
