Hello all,

I currently use the pocket rocket for most times that i'm out in the woods and it isn't too cold. if it gets too cold i use the MSR simmerlite. what i love about both stoves is that they certainly make water boil super fast with no questions asked.

the one thing i love about the simmerlite and hate about the pocket rocket is the flame pattern.

currently i'm looking for a wider flame pattern canister stove only. not looking for an alchy stove just yet. not that i have anything against it, i have a super cat, but i want a wide flame pattern canister stove for more cooking type applications...

any recommendations?

Easy answer, MSR Windpro.

I replaced my PocketRocket with this:http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2693311040059664855ZtbkWw
It's a few grams lighter, is sturdier, and has a nice wide flame pattern.

Snowpeak Gigapower was the gold standard after BPL's testing, I believe. About 1/200 of the CO emmissions of a Pocket Rocket, boils as fast, stronger pot supports, more stable, and you can get a windscreen for it.

Just because something has a low CO rating doesn't necessarily mean its a better stove. The only thing that should be considered from those measurements is if the stove is safe or not. They might give a general idea about fuel efficiency but a straight up test on that is not hard. CO is a simple pass or fail question, is it safe or not for your conditions; after that the number is irrelevant.

does anyone have any experience with a crux lite???
