OP white box stove posted off to you today, enjoy.

I am a big jetboil fan. Simplicity and ease of use. Over the years I have used many different types of stove.

It’s not that heavy when you consider it is complete and the time some folk are prepared to wait for boiling water astonishes me.

I do use it for multiple nights out

It is very definitely a specialised piece of kit: a month in the Arctic? Take the MSR. Pottering around in the English countryside? Take something else. Anything else! Its original design brief was to melt large amounts of snow and ice for high altitude expeditions.

Yeah, mine spent almost a year at altitude in the Andes mostly melting snow, but also creating curious petrol-tainted cheese on toast with the cheese melted on the adze of an ice-axe. Meths, fwiw, is useless at high altitudes 😉

badlywired dog – you have a pm

What are people using to carry meths around in? I found my old fuel bottle from when I used to use a trangia and it weighed about 300g. Which would defy the whole point, obviously. I seem to remember trying to use a water bottle for meths once and ending up with foul smelling kit.

(I’m just being curious though. Ain’t nothing turning me away from the glory of jetboil. I want my dinner ready by the time my tent is up usually).

I use a 250ml plastic pop bottle.
