I'm inward the procedure of writing some other review for Seattle Backpackers Magazine, this fourth dimension of the novel MSR MicroRocket. I've got a ways to larn yet on the review, but I idea I'd at to the lowest degree allow people possess got a preliminary expect at the stove. Look for the total review inward nearly a month's time.
Just got a banking concern complaint from MSR: The official unloosen engagement is Jan 3, 2012. We already possess got them inward stock as well as are transportation to retailers.
OK, root impressions. Guys, this sucker is compact. Woo who! Oh, yes. Tiny, baby. What a dainty piddling stove. Talk nearly saving some room inward the ol' pack. Sweet!
The novel MicroRocket comes alongside a separate piezoelectric ignition.
Now, I haven't fired it upwards yet (I simply took it out of the box this evening), but my root impression of the separate piezoelectric lighter is: Why? Sorry, MSR, but wouldn't I hold upwards meliorate off simply carrying a regular lighter? What's the wages of carrying a carve upwards piezoelectric lighter? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piezoelectric lighter is exclusively going to hold upwards able to ignite gas whereas a regular lighter volition ignite pretty much anything. Wouldn't I hold upwards meliorate served past times a to a greater extent than versatile conventional lighter? What's the point?
Now, to hold upwards fair, I haven't tried it yet. Maybe I'll actually honey it. These are simply my root impressions upon taking the stove out of the box. I volition exam it out.
Now, dorsum to the stove.
Did I advert it's compact? Man! They actually mapped this 1 out. Everything folds together simply so. It literally fits inward the palm of my hand, as well as I don't possess got especially large hands (ring size 9.5).
I'm liking the agency the valve command grip folds closed to the base of operations of the stove. Compact, baby, yeah!
Not also much looks novel inward price of the burner caput although the current of air deflector is a flake to a greater extent than compact. Like I say, though, I haven't fired it upwards yet. Soon!
Now, accept a expect at the below photo. One of my pet peeves nearly the older PocketRocket is that the signal where the pot supports bring together the trunk of the stove is prone to bending. Don't inquire me how I know this. I've read it elsewhere, therefore I know it's non simply me. The attach points on the novel MicroRocket are way beefier. When I unfolded everything into "working mode," the supports felt really solid.
Now, since this stove is super compact, you lot in all probability possess got to surrender on the "surface area" that the pot supports cover, right? Nope. There's no sacrifice here. The bridge is nearly the same.
Overall root impression: It's similar the overstep stove designers at MSR did null but play alongside a Pocket Rocket for half dozen months straight, looking for anything they could improve. And they seem to possess got succeeded inward simply that. They've actually improved as well as beefed upwards the stove.
Um, Jim, beefed up? Don't you lot hateful they've turned a perfectly practiced stove into a frail piddling ultralight toy -- a piddling toy that's useless to the average hiker?
NO! Counter-intuitive every bit it may seem, they've managed to beef upwards the stove piece dropping the weight as well as size. Sweet!
OK, therefore that's all for at 1 time inward this really brief root look. Watch for to a greater extent than to follow soon.

Technical Appendix: Weights
PocketRocket MicroRocket
Case 25g/0.88oz 36g/1.27oz
Stove 86g/3.03oz 73g/2.57oz
Total 111g/3.92oz 109g/3.84oz
I didn't include the weight of the piezoelectric lighter because I wanted a 1:1 comparison. The MicroRocket's piezo electrical ignition weighs a mere 13g/0.46oz.
The inward a higher identify weights were all determined using my Kitchen Chef gram scale. These weights may differ slightly from the weights listed past times the manufacturer. All weights possess got been double checked. All weight were measured inward grams as well as and therefore afterward converted to ounces. Weights inward ounces volition non necessarily add together upwards properly due to rounding error.
Interestingly, if the illustration is included, in that place is essentially no weight deviation betwixt the MicroRocket as well as the PocketRocket. I did a double accept when I weighed the novel case. I've checked it multiple times. The novel illustration actually does weigh 36g. I realize that a lot of people larn out the illustration at home, storing the stove inward their cookpot, but I even therefore works life it strange that MSR would larn to therefore much problem to lighten the stove as well as and therefore plough correct closed to as well as wipe out all the weight savings alongside a heavier case. Hunh?
This is an installment inward my serial on the novel MicroRocket stove from MSR. Other installments inward the serial include:
