MicroRocket in your pocket?

Is that large cube shaped box that you cook with in your kitchen a little much for your expedition to your local backcountry campsite. Are you tired of screaming "I love white rabbits" at the top of your lungs trying to cook your dehydrated vegetarian chili on the campfire? Editors note: The one and only time I ever had vegetarian chili it was not fully re-hydrated. The odors that escaped our bodies are still being investigated as possible weapons of mass destruction. Enter the MSR MicroRocket stove.

Stats:
Weight: 75g- Only 15 grams more then a Mars bar
Wind resistant concave burner head.
Boils a litre of water in 3.5* minutes which pretty good considering it is  60 seconds longer then it takes most guys lose their virginity.
Fuel efficincy: Can boil 2 litres* of water per oz of fuel.


This little stove is a great way to shed some ounces, whether your hiking the West Coast Trail in British Columbia or need to stop for some soup on a long commute in NYC.


*boil times are usually calculated at sea level. Add 1 minute per 1000 feet of elevation.
