Well this looks kind of cool. MSR appears to have finally made a follow up to the extremely popular Pocket Rocket stove. This was introduced at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market. I'm a big fan of the Pocket Rocket so this sounds like a logical upgrade. Crazy light at 2.6 oz but I don't really get the Piezo Ignitor. Why not just carry a lighter?
From MSR's website:
The new MicroRocket stove is not just our smallest and lightest, it also delivers the best mix of weight, size, performance and price of any stove in its class. It fits easily inside an MSR® Insulated Mug, weighs a mere 2.6 oz. (75 g) and features outstanding stability. We also engineered the MicroRocket to maintain top-notch efficiency and power so the hard-earned weight savings wasn't lost carrying extra fuel. If you're on mission to reduce your load to the absolute minimum, this is your rocket. Carry case and handheld piezo igniter included.
