- Howdy Ben from Snowys here today
with a PocketRocket Deluxe Stove from MSR.
♪ Hit it ♪ - This guy has
a built-in piezo.
It has a larger burner head.
So if you're looking for a slightly bigger option
than the compact PocketRocket stove
the PocketRocket Deluxe might be the perfect stove for you.
The PocketRocket Deluxe Stove from MSR
comes in this little storage container here.
Nice heavy duty synthetic storage pouch.
Obviously you don't have to use that
if you're hiking with it, but it keeps it safe.
or you can put this inside a cup of something it's so small.
So this is the stove folded up.
Weighs about 83 grammes and measures
about 10 centimetres by about six centimetres in diameter.
So nice and compact.
And the arms just fold out like this.
So you pull the arm out and fold it over.
And there's three of those that you do it with.
Pull it out and fold it over.
We've now got our three support arms there.
And then the gas valve control
or control valve there just undoes
and you can tighten it up, ready to use it.
Now, looking at the stove like this,
about 10 centimetres high.
It's about six centimetres in diameter from the centre
to the edge of these supports here.
And the burner head is about 5 1/2 centimetres in diameter
which is much larger than the original PocketRocket Stove.
Now MSR do say pot size for this guy.
That's about 20 centimetres in diameter
or about 3.6 litres or 3.6 kilos on top of that
which is a pretty big pot if you're just cooking for one
but it gives you plenty of versatility.
I'll show you how the pot sits on there shortly.
Few of the features on here is a piezo igniter.
So this little thing here is a piezo igniter.
Now this is a bit different
than what we've seen in any other stoves so far.
This is the lever here that actually lights the piezo
and they've routed the wire from the piezo
up inside the body of the unit here.
So, you can't catch it on anything.
There's less chance of it breaking or getting caught.
And then the actual lights
or the bit where the spark occurs
is built right inside the head here.
So it can't catch on anything.
I'll flick it now to see if you can catch it.
You can just see a little spot coming off the end
of that metal panel there a little point coming out
down to the burner head.
So, what we've seen on other stoves previously
the piezo can be the weakest point.
It can get caught and break.
In this stove they built it right into the stove.
Now 11,000 BTU for this burner here.
They say boil time for a litre of water
is about 3.3 litres per minute
and gas consumption is around about 227 grammes per hour.
So one of these canisters per hour.
That's a 230 grand canister.
And you're gonna get about 17 litres of water
roughly out of one of those canisters.
And obviously that's very dependent
on the type of conditions you're using it in.
Now it fits on these gas canisters
which you've got this little screw valve here
and it's a Lindal valve inside there.
And that's the same valve
as you can find on all of these here.
That's an MSR 230 gramme canister there.
230 gramme canisters from different brands here as well.
They've all got the same valve.
This stove will work on any of those.
I'm gonna attach it to this 100 gramme canister
here at the moment from MSR.
So, just screws on.
So make sure this has done up first.
Do that up and screw this on.
And you don't wanna overtighten these.
You just wanna do them so they're firm.
So do it up until you can feel a bit of pressure
and then just firmly don't do it really tightly.
There's a rubber seal in there that will seal that up.
So before I light up
I'm just gonna put a pot on top of it.
This pot isn't quite 20 centimetres
is probably about 13 centimetres.
It's a 75 millilitre pot that sits on top there.
It slides around a little bit
but these have a slope that goes inward.
So as it kind of moves to one side
it catches a little bit and pushes it backwards
or back into the centre of the stove.
So it is a lightweight stove.
So it's not made for super stability.
So you do wanna watch these as you're cooking with it.
You wouldn't wanna leave these unattended
'cause if it starts to slide, it could potentially topple
and if you've got it on top of a large canister like this
obviously it's gonna be very top heavy.
So don't leave it unattended while you're cooking.
Sit next to it and make sure that if it does fall over
it's not gonna fall inside the tent or all over you.
Your clothes, hot water all over you.
Now lighting the stove. We don't need a lighter
just the piezo on the side here.
So finger on the lever and I'm gonna to turn this.
Now, it takes a few turns
before you really hear gas come out.
So, click that around. Here the gas.
Flick that or two clicks there and we're lit.
Now it is really quiet.
I can barely hear that at the moment.
I'm gonna turn it down, see how low I can get it.
(flame hissing)
So I can just see the flame there.
Now, if I go like this, I can feel a bit of heat
on the top bottom of my hand, but it's nice simmer.
So from there, I'm gonna turn it back up again.
I'll move it away from the shelf here
and we'll see just how big the flame gets.
So it does roar up quite tall.
I'll turn that right around to full and we can see
I can feel heat way above that.
So it's a really strong flame, 11,000 BTU on that guy there.
And the larger burner head
obviously makes it more suitable for pots.
So, turn it off again.
You can unscrew that, fold the arms back down once it's cold
and back in a storage pouch
or however you wanna cart it and back in your bag.
This is at 83 grammes.
It's about the same weight
as the original PocketRocket was
but it's got a bigger burner head, a hotter burner head.
It's a really versatile little stove
and offers a good balance
between those really compact size we've got
and the bigger ones that become more cumbersome
'cause it's got this
sort of 5 1/2 centimetre burner head on here.
So, an awesome stove for one or two people on the trial
wanting to cook some decent food or boil some water quickly.
