Does the MicroRocket seem loud to you? I sold my PR last Spring to the Post Mistress, wish I had it back now to compare to the MR. I've only had the MR out once, that was a few weeks ago before the most recent snow storms. I hiked up the Forest Circus road close to home for about an hour, setup on a log while it snowed lightly, and fixed a can of soup. Stove worked fine, I did not time it, seemed ok, just loud, like a roarer burner on a kerosene stove. I got the stove shipped free without the packaging, but with the little plastic container and the sparker thing for $26, what a bargain.

Duane,

I wouldn't worry about it. Soon your hearing will start to diminish anyway. Good news is that you can't hear your wife half of the time :)

Biggest reason I switched to alcohol… Those stoves all have "jet" and "rocket" in their name for a reason…

Nick, I'm single so no problem. Seems my Coleman F1 and the Snow Peak Giga Power are quieter. Good point about the clue being in the name. More testing this winter I guess. Not like these are the only few I own.
