MadRiver said:Here is an odd question, yet I going to ask it anyway. Why can they not make a stove that uses both a canister and white gas? Or do they? If I look at the MSR SimmerLite and the WindPro, they look like the exact same stove except for the fuel. Admittedly I am not an expert on stoves, so there might be some physics at work that would prevent this switchover from taking place. Yet to an untrained observer, it looks like all they would have to do is switch the apparatus that attaches to the fuel canister/bottle. Please explain, with some degree of civility if you don’t mind.
Primus Varifuel, and a few others, do just what you are saying. All you have to do is swap the jet where the fuel comes out and it will run anything from canister fuel to white gas to jet fuel.
To answer the original question, I have the Pocket Rocket and it performs just as everyone describes. If you end up buying one, spend a few extra bucks and get the leg attachment (it's a collapsable plastic piece that the canister sits in). It adds alot of stability. 2 years of use and never had a problem.
