Source: cascadedesigns.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by switchbacktravel.com. The official MSR (Cascade Designs) product page for the PocketRocket 2 Stove, SKU 09884, confirms the exact model and its Tech Specs verbatim: Minimum Weight 73 g / Packaged Weight 105 g, Dimensions 1.3 x 1.6 x 3.1 in, boil time 3.5 minutes for 1 liter on MSR IsoPro, torch-to-simmer flame control, and a built-in WindClip windshield; the page lists no BTU rating and no igniter. The Switchback Travel review (Last Updated October 10, 2024) corroborates this same PocketRocket 2 (explicitly distinct from the $85 PocketRocket Deluxe), stating "Price: $50", "Fuel Type: Canister", "Auto Ignition: No", "Pot: No", and a claimed 3.5-minute 1L boil time. Price is taken verbatim from that dated review ($50) since the manufacturer page shows no US price; outputBtuHr is left null because MSR does not publish a BTU rating and the review's "8,200" is a reviewer comparison figure, not a manufacturer rating.
