Availability
When I showtime inquired, I was told that the novel Pocket Rocket 2 would hold out available inwards "January." However, I run into that ii sites already bring the stove listed. I shall listing links below as a service to you lot my readers. I have no practice goodness from placing these links here, as well as I have no practice goodness if you lot purchase. The below links inwards no way institute an endorsement. These links are herein listed simply for your convenience. In no detail order:
Disclosures:
Simmering
The stove simmers well. I was trying to illustrate just how proficient the open fire command is inwards Appendix II (which is good worth referring to). Let me hither exhibit a photograph of the nutrient every bit opposed to the flame. Look at the photograph below. If you lot expect a fleck to the left of center. You tin just barely run into a few bubbles. Now that's a truthful simmer (a simmer beingness the mightiness to concur contents of a pot at or just below a depression boil). And expect at the nutrient debris left on the sides of the pot. Only moments before, I practically had a boil over, things were boiling so furiously. That's some dainty open fire control.
Note: The bulk of the open fire command occurs inwards the make of just about 1/6th to 1/2th of a plough of the valve adjuster. You bring to bring a fairly deft touch, but alongside just a minimum fleck of skill, you lot tin bring just nigh whatever open fire setting you lot so desire.
And now, a open fire shot. I hateful who doesn't dearest open fire shots? But, seriously, expect closely. That's a nice, depression open fire (and you lot tin teach it fifty-fifty lower) – alongside absolutely no spillage upwardly the sides of the pot. This is just the open fire command you lot wish to bring on a stove.
Pot Supports
I covered the dependent plain inwards the full general instance inwards my Review of the novel MSR Pocket Rocket 2, however, permit me reply to i specific enquiry as well as so give i to a greater extent than full general example.
First, the specific question: "How practice the supports on the novel Pocket Rocket 2 fit on an MSR Titan Kettle?" Presumably they were referring to the criterion sized (850 ml capacity) kettle.
Well, inasmuch every bit a flick is worth a G words, I give you:
Now, observe inwards the photograph higher upwardly that the inner circle of the bottom of the kettle represent nearly precisely the inner diameter of the pot supports. With abide by to the outer diameter, the pot supports extend a mm or ii beyond the outer periphery of the kettle. I'd tell that the Titan Kettle is a actually rigid candidate for purpose alongside this stove, especially for a soloist. I retrieve it a tad pocket-sized for two.
Incidentally, MSR has announced that they are coming out inwards 2017 alongside the "Big Titan Kettle," a ii liter version of the electrical flow Titan Kettle. Why they went all the way from 850 ml to 2000 ml (two liters), I'm non sure, but that's my understanding. I typically recommend something on the lodge of 750 ml per someone inwards damage of pot capacity, so a 2 L kettle would hold out a pretty proficient represent for a grouping of ii or iii people. I haven't seen one. I'll perish along you lot apprised if I teach whatever farther information.
Now, for a to a greater extent than generic example: Here is a photograph of the Pocket Rocket 2 alongside criterion 355 ml (12 fl oz) potable can. This detail potable tin has been made into a Trail Designs 12-10 alcohol stove, but the exterior diameter of course of report has non changed. Now, the indicate hither is non that you lot should purpose a Coke tin to gear upwardly in, actually it's non practical, but rather that this stove volition back upwardly really small pot diameters. Note nonetheless that all you lot Heineken as well as Fosters "pot" lovers had best plough downward the stove lest you lot ruin your pot.
Valve block
The valve block of the Pocket Rocket 2, to include the threads, is made from anodized aluminum. Note that this is non "hard" anodization (the type of anodization that makes aluminum pots tougher) but is only the agency past times which the valve block has been colored that dainty MSR red. The valve spindle, at to the lowest degree what I tin run into of it, is brass. I bring non disassembled the unit of measurement (nor practice I intend to), but presumably it is all made of brass. The valve adjuster handgrip is stainless steel.
Some stoves* volition bring a brass insert inwards the valve block for the part that threads on to a canister. Brass by as well as large wears a fleck ameliorate than aluminum, but aluminum has non been shown to to hold out a hapless alternative of materials. Many a through hiker has done a long trail (for illustration the Pacific Crest Trail) without a problem. The threads on all canister gas stoves, whether brass or aluminium, volition wearable alongside time. Do non over tighten.
I promise this review supplement volition hold out of assistance,

*I just went into the gear room (the really room my married adult woman detests but is of course of report solely necessary) as well as pulled out a brace of canister stoves that my retention suggested had a threaded brass insert, specifically the Soto Amicus as well as the Snow Peak GigaPower. Both of those stoves practice inwards fact bring a threaded brass insert.
