I like that you didn’t rattle off a bunch of specifications, but real world solutions and user experience… Thanks for sharing!
Nice job on the video again! Though you know I have always used that Jetboil canister base thing without any problems for 15 years. I guess it's because I've always used Jetboil brand canisters and they just drop right in easily and securely. This year I bought a canister-transfer tool so I can refill my little Jetboil cans from one big cheap canister of fuel. But also .. to save weight I use the BRS stove mostly and none of the Jetboil bulk and weight, as I now carry a chair.
Thanks for the review especially while using it in the wind.
I have been using the Primus Lite for a while and it's a very good competitor to the Jetboil imho. It is about the same weight and boil time, but it is more windproof and a bit more stable, burner is easy to connect and piezo is still ok. It can simmer and it's (slightly) cheaper as well 😉
I haven't tried it out yet, but my assumed best setup with a jet boil is the premium dehydrated food and coffee. If you're actually cooking and not just boiling water go with a more flexible setup.
Love my Jet Boil
I have never boiled over 4 or 5min on the jetboil flash my fiancee owns. 90seconds max! We dont back pack with this and it isnt our goto. Its mainly for boiling water on car camping or traveling. The msr pocket rocket with titanium pots and trangia stove (alcohol burner and gas burner) systems are more or less my personal goto favorite cook systems for back packing, car camping/base camp. I did sub to check out more of your content going forward.
I agree with all your points except the base. I have no problems getting mine on. You said you think you have to have it bent to put it on. That's not true, and maybe contributes to your problem. Now to get it off, I have to bend the first leg and it pops right off. Thanks for a good video
those inexpensive chinese cooking sets have worked great for me many times. the lixada stoves work great too.
Nice review. A bit bulky though. Can’t fault the Soto Amicus I’ve been using.
Good review. No go on the jet boil. Lol.
ive had mine for about 3 years and still love it my burner melted unfortunately but i replaces it with a different burner from walmart it works but like you said the burner was fiddly and annoying. the base i never had trouble putting it on but i do have a bit trouble taking it off a bit. its speed is amazing along with everything else
I had been thinking a jetboil might be a good addition to my car camping setup, but after this, I think I'll pass. Sounds like they are living on their name. I've just been using the butane stove I've had for years and is now not always connecting the cans of butane up properly, so it's time for a new stove. Also, butane just seems to take longer to boil water. Still looking, but am thinking a single burner dual fuel stove may be what I need.
I never have issues with the canister support... strange
Haha man I think the base of yours is just messed up
