This was a very professional presentation. Very easy to follow with logical format snd easy to understand information. I have 51 years hiking and mountaineering. I can tell you that these modern stoves are a godsend. If you have two large males then carrying a second system comprising a Jetboil stash with or without a Mightymo, spare canister and stand increases your meal preparation ability snd versality.

Great review! If you need more food for 2, just use the pot to boil twice the water, and pour half into another container (other pot/mylar bag etc) for one person and use the pot for the other

Fantastic review! I learned some things about my beloved MiniMo that made me love it even more. As much as I'd like to boycot Johnson Outdoors for killing Eureka, despite it still being a profitable company, I just can't go without this stove! Really looking forward to possible future videos with it with your trademark thorough scientific approach.

Heck yea, I second the comments on the windscreen! Manufacturers test their equipment in a lab, not out in the field. I would love to see a video that compares boil times for differing stove systems in calm, breezy, windy, and blustery conditions. I have an old camping stove that will boil water in under two minutes in no breeze, but as soon as you introduce breeze you can plan on (I've estimated) an extra minute per mile-per-hour per boil. The long and short of it is, that if I start out with a cannister that should last all week, with any sort of wind over a mild breeze, I can plan on running out of fuel before the weekend is out. The windscreens should be built into the design.

Some stoves do. This one is partially protected but I think they should have something that clips on and protects 1/3 or 1/2 of the burner.

Kevin, as always a very detailed and honest opinion / demo.. I never knew about the camp stove systems. Although these type of stoves work great, I am not a convert. For me, there is a downside to these bespoke sets in that they have less versatility. You cannot use the pot as a stand alone and I like my Whisperlite and Trangia.

Hi Craig, yes I was skeptical of these systems too so I never invested in one. I will be doing the math and comparing this to other systems in the future. Thanks for checking in on this one.

Nice review but I will 2nd the lack of parts list as I did the same and purchased a pot support when I didn't need to plus it would be nice to have more specific instructions on getting the pot support to lock into place so far mine will only sit on the stove and on appearance is unstable

The discussion seems to suggest it is on the box somewhere, but I didn't notice it and you didn't notice it so it clearly isn't obvious. Not a deal breaker but something the company can improve on in their next design of packaging.

I like your simple honest review. As you know, simple chemistry ensures that one gram of butane burned in air always produces the exact same energy and temperature. All these efficiency tests are so based on some magic. Turning up flame too high on any stove is wasteful to some degree. Wind usually has an effect. Heat exchanger fins always more efficient.

Great comments, I have seen tests where turning the flame up too high wastes some fuel but I have not been able to replicate that. More playing with stoves is required. :)

Wait... the outside of the box does say "Pot Support Included".... it's on the right hand side under the Jetpower fuel sold separately. There isn't an orange line pointing to anything so maybe that's why people don't see it...but it is there.

I wonder if the efficiency is due to the regulator rather then the heat exchanger?
@KevinOutdoors

It would be the heat exchanger that is what it is designed to do. The regulator just maintains a more even burn from the start of the canister to the end.

Lot's of plastic. Is the plastic BPA-free?
@KevinOutdoors
4 ай бұрын
Yes it is BPA free. There are no markings that would indicate BPA on the bowl or lid. Here in Canada if it might contain BPA there would be recyclable marking with a '7' and the letters 'PC' for polycarbonate. And I checked the California materials disclosure posted on the JetBoil site, it doesn't indicate any BPA.
