When I was hiking last year, my pocket rocket lasted 45 summer days, cookin=
g one meal a day,
and still had some fuel left when I got a new fuel canister in my mail drop=
.

I feel this is a better stove than the can stoves. Even though it is heavie=
r, it is only 3 oz, and it puts out lots of heat, from a full roar, to a lo=
w simmer, does not need priming, turns on instantly, has only 4 moving part=
s, no pump is needed for the fuel bottle.
