Hello,

Can I use a Coleman gas cylinder for  pocket rocket 2 stove?

I'm thinking of buying my brother the stove, but the MSR cylinders aren't widely available where he lives.

thanks

Ruth

Yes as far as I am aware all screw thread canisters are compatible. Just avoid camping gaz click on ones.

Yes no problem, don't think I have ever used an MSR canister.

Yes, it will fit.

I will add, though, and with no real evidence to support it, that I have always found Coleman and GoGas cylinders to be less effective than Primus or MSR. Particularly when the cylinder is less than half full, or when its cold. I now avoid them unless stuck, they do the job, but just seem to be poorer over the life of a cylinder, presumably as the pressure drops.

Unless in freezing temperatures I'm happy with the cheapest available including own brand makes.
