I saved a bunch of $ and bought the pocket rocket this year instead of the more expensive MSR options. Very good piece of equipment. Met some other guys using the whisper light and can't say I was impressed. My food was cooked faster than they could even get the whisper going. Might be good for some applications but looked like a pain in the ass to me for the most part.
How cold before the pocket rocket won't work well?

They do make a higher altitude/cold weather fuel canister mix but like belly-deep mentions once you get below freezing things really shut down fast. Putting your canister under your coat or in the sleeping bag improves your odds of it working
Any sources for cold weather mix canisters?
So the MSR Pocket Rocket is both cheaper, and a better alternative to Jet Boil?
Well. Maybe with the right pot. Jetboils boil water fast, so they are more fuel efficient.
Once I get my Olicamp pot from the brown Santa Claus, I'm going to have a boil-off between that and my Jet. I'll let you know which one wins.
