MSR Camping Stoves

When you're miles from the trailhead, a stove that lights first time matters. MSR camping stoves are built for exactly that, led by the tiny, reliable PocketRocket 2 and the all-in-one PocketRocket Stove Kit, with the Switch System for bigger boils and add-ons like the Piezo igniter and LowDown remote adapter. Lightweight, packable and trusted in the backcountry.

MSR Camping Stoves for Backpacking and Camp Cooking

MSR makes some of the most trusted canister stoves in backpacking and has done for decades. The range at 53 Degrees North covers the core MSR stove lineup - compact canister stoves, remote adapters and ignition accessories for anyone cooking in the field from a solo weekend trip to a longer expedition.

Building a camp cooking system around an MSR stove

A canister stove is the core of a camp kitchen, but the efficiency of the system depends on what surrounds it: a pot with a heat-exchanging base reduces boil times and fuel consumption compared to a standard flat-base pot; a windscreen significantly improves performance in exposed conditions; and a canister weight scale prevents running out of fuel mid-trip. MSR makes compatible accessories designed to work with their stove lineup, so a coherent camp kitchen can be built from one brand.

Canister size and fuel planning for different trip lengths

MSR IsoPro canisters come in 113g, 227g and 450g sizes. For a solo weekend of two to three nights boiling water for meals and hot drinks, a 113g canister is typically sufficient. Longer trips or conditions where the stove runs longer - cold mornings, more cooking from raw ingredients - need a 227g canister or a spare. Weigh the canister before and after your first trip to calibrate your consumption for future planning.

The MSR LowDown Remote Stove Adapter

The LowDown Adapter connects an upright canister stove to a canister lying on its side, lowering the centre of gravity and improving stability when using larger pots on uneven ground. It is a practical solution for anyone who has tipped a tall stove-and-pot combination in the field.

Frequently asked questions

Which MSR stove is best for backpacking?

The PocketRocket 2 is the go-to choice for backpacking. It weighs under 75g, packs into a matchbox and boils water quickly on IsoPro fuel. For a ready-to-go cook system, the PocketRocket Stove Kit bundles a stove, pot and fuel in one package.

What fuel do MSR camping stoves use?

MSR canister stoves use IsoPro fuel, a propane and isobutane blend. It performs well across a broad temperature range and is available in 113g, 227g and 450g canisters. We stock all three sizes alongside the stoves.

How do MSR stoves perform in wind and cold?

MSR stoves are designed for mountain conditions. The PocketRocket 2 handles moderate wind well, and MSR's burner geometry is optimised for efficient heat transfer. For exposed, high-wind camping, pairing the stove with a windscreen or a pot with an integrated heat exchanger significantly improves boil times and fuel efficiency.

Are MSR stoves suitable for group cooking?

The Switch System stove is the better choice for group or basecamp cooking. Its wide, stable burner supports larger pots and handles higher output than the PocketRocket. For solo or duo cooking on the move, the PocketRocket 2 or Stove Kit is the right size.
