I have the MSR pocket rocket and it has never let me down. Its light too!

 :yeah:

I've used mine up to 8100ft and it's fine. I like to keep it simple so the pocket rocket is my go to.

Adding a Biolite to my list of stoves now. Just got it on Monday. Cool stove, not sure I would want to pack it on trips at altitude, it's a little heavy.

I have had the pocket rocket since 2008 & cooked with it around 8k to 9k without any issues. Its a solid stove but when I am ready to replace I will definitely be going with a Jetboil.

I have the Pocket Rocket, Love it, lightweight and everything stows in the small cookset I bought to go with it.  I also have a Coleman WG Peak 1 and an old Svea 123.  The cannisters work fine at higher elevations, if it is especially cold, put it in your sleeping bag at night to keep it warm.

Bluesdude,

There are few who can say they still own a SVEA 123.  What a great little stove.  Started my backpacking days with those stoves back in the mid-70's.

Love my JetBoil, boiling water in under 2 minutes means I eat faster.  It is a little bulky, but I gladly accept that since it cooks so fast.

I have been using this for  a lightweight stove for MRE type meals.

For cooking I use a MSR Whisperlite

If you go with an alcohol stove, be sure to fill it full so it primes well. Any unused fuel can be poured back into the fuel container.
