Boils water at altitude, where cheaper stoves stop trying

MSR PocketRocket Deluxe

Canister stove, pressure regulator, ~83 g

The pressure regulator is the whole point — it keeps output steady as a canister empties and as it gets cold, which is exactly when an unregulated stove starts failing; you cannot fly with the fuel, so plan to buy canisters in Kathmandu.

Regulated output holds up in cold and at low canister pressure

Built-in igniter that actually works

Tiny and light

Fuel canisters cannot be flown — buy in Thamel

No wind protection at all

Useless on a teahouse trek

Not for you if: Lodge trekking. Every teahouse sells hot water and cooks your dinner.
