Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Pot/Mug or cookset for Pocket Rocket?

Got a pocket rocket for my BDay. Trying to decide what cookset or pot to use. Not sure what the canister will fit in and with or without the stove?

Mostly looking for boiling water for myself on day hunts for coffee etc or short weekend hunts cooking the night time meal and oatmeal etc in the morning.

I have tried doing a search but pot, mug, cup, are all three letter words so have been struggling.

Ideas? I would like to be able to fit it all in the stove but its not necessary.

My stove and fuel canisters are the same size as the Pocket Rocket's. I can put it all inside of a .85L Ti pot. Add a Ti spoon, a small knife and I'm all set for 2-3 days. E

Sno peak makes a Ti pot and a nesting cup that are just big enough for a small cannister to fit inside.

I recently got a GSI halulite tea kettle and like it a lot when just boiling water. A small giga canister and the PR w/o it's case will nest inside. Best part is that it's under $20 and only 5oz or so.

I use a GSI Soloist with my PRocket. Fits stove, fuel, lighter, small candle and coffee in one self contained pot.

Partagas:

You might want to take a look at this little cook set. It weighs only 5.5 ounces. The pot nests inside the cup and it's just right to hold a Nalgene bottle. Or it will hold your Pocket Rocket and a small fuel cannister.

I can't speak to the nesting of the Pocket rocket as I am a alcohol stove fellow, but I found that the titanium cups loose too much heat too fast for me. I have the MSR pot(forget its offical name), about .85Qt and thats fine for a pot. I am sure the evernew or the snow peak would do as well.

For a cup I use the stryofoam cup that came with a japanese cup of Noodles. Its light as strofoam but much harder than a typical styrofoam cup and insulates well. It just barely fits inside my MSR pot. I have 2 spares in my hiking box, but so far its made it nearly 2000 miles. Light, good capacity and insulates.

Partagas, of all the TI pots available for MSR Pocket Rocket type stove I like the little Montbell Ti pot best, primarily because of the handle design, but also because the stove and a canister will fit inside:

I like the MSR titan kettle. Its shorter and wider then most pots so its pretty stable on a canister stove. You can fit a small canister and stove in the titan as well.

GSI has another new deal called the minimalist that's even less/less weight than the soloist.

MSR Ti kettle and Snow peak Ti cup. Works great with the Pocket Rocket.

Snowpeak Giga, montbell Ti... no burnt fingers here taking off the lid, low and stable...

Pics are good, the more the better!

Here is some more winter canister stove porn. The kettle is a GSI. Keeping the canister out of the snow works best for me.

"winter canister porn"???? When stoves and pots have crossed over into the porn category, we've officially crossed a line in gear looniness.

Good stuff as always Woods.

The Snow Peak Ti cup/pots hold the small cannister, stove, a couple of coffee paks, and Ti cup. Great stow size, you can boil water for freeze dried goo and make coffee.

Here's the GSI halulite kettle on the PR.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I drive myself nuts researching stuff and trying to make a decision. Sometimes I wish I were more impulsive or not such a research fanatic. Don't want to make a bad choice you know. Its a pot for crying out loud, not like I'm buying another truck or something. Sheesh.

The ti stuff is cool and I may end up ordering some of it but I made the order for the GSI halulite kettle. It was cheap enough to start with and I'm only going to be boiling water for now, coffee, tea, freeze dried, or cup of noodles type stuff. That GSI minimalist kit looked tempting but I couldn't find out if the PR will fit in it (doubtful) so I went this route.

Partagas...
I am the opposite of you for the most part. Terribly impulsive buyer!
I am trying to control that, and your post is helping---somewhat.
I really don't want to screw up on the wrong stove. Thanks!

WoodsWalker...
thank you for the pi--porn I try to read as many of your posts as I come across-here ond on the K site. Thanks for your "wisdom"

Later...
