LFTO rating rating is 3
Owners' rating rating is 3.5
This stove weighs 86g (+ gas); boil time 2 min 46 sec to 5 min; 11cm diameter pan supports; folding pan supports for compact packing; superb price for performance. But not as stable as lower-profile stoves; best boil time is only available with fresh gas canister; 32mm diameter burner can create hot spots; not as compact as newer designs.

Verdict
One of the best lightweight gas stoves, making it ideal for weekend backpackers.

    have taken the 'rocket' out on a good few trips ... is easy to fire up has a pretty good windshield on burner and does exactly what it says on the lid . the regulator tap is a bit flimsy but can live with that. really for the price you can not go wrong ... especially if you can get it for a few pounds less ! using it in average uk weather approx 55 oF managed to make a 100 gas cart last almost a week which is good going bearing in mind i have 2 hot meals a day and 3 brews. good idea to check O rings for grit n once in a while put a tiny bit of lube round it to keep it nice n supple . vaseline is ok but i think sili lube is a lil berrer silicone grrr lol
