Which Jetboil stove?

[jackelope]

Push button ignition and the ability to boil enough water for a MH meal are my 2 requirements. There's multiple choices as far as they go. Curious to see which ones folks prefer.

I have the regular old one and it works great I have no complants.

Are you stuck on a Jet Boil?  If not take a look at a pocket rocket with a Stoic Ti Kettle.  Much smaller and lighter and it will save you a few bucks too.  It doesn't have a built in ignition though.

Id say it depends on your hunt, i have the solo cup style an the group style an like em both but no reason for the group pot if ya aint in a group  ..the lighter stoves are sweet in hot weather but jetboil is pretty nice when goins get tuff..winter camping..starting fires in the rain...dryn socks off..there a great tool to have

Or the Optimus for 89 bucks. Works great. Compact, light, and haven't had a problem with it yet. Boils water fast and fuel lasts a long time.

The nice thing about the jetboil is how efficient they are .No other stoves compare.

The Flash for me, but have a friend that owns the Sol. The Flash seems to boil water plenty fast enough for me, although in lower temps the Sol boiled water a little faster than my Flash.

I have a couple stoves along the line of the pocket rocket. I used them both this year a few times. I found they worked great up to about 7k feet. I spent 2 days using one at almost 10k and it took forrrrrrr ever to boil water. I used a ton of fuel. I'm thinking by trying the jetboil I might do a little better.

P.s. wind was not a huge factor. We were behind a wall.
I'm sure it was the elevation.(I think)

[Skyvalhunter]

At higher elevations you are usually going to have lower barometric pressure also remember the initial water temp maybe very different which will effect the time to boil

Are you using a Ti pot?

I have about five backpack type stoves and I use this one most of the time.  Unless I fly somewhere then I take a white gas stove since most guide outfits and outfitters have that fuel when I land.  I do think the white gas works a little better above 7,000'.

Got one of the smaller versions last year.  Not enough weight savings to make the difference I was hoping for.  Took two pots to make a MH meal so quicker boiling time did not really save me anything either.  Great for a cup-o-noodles on the go or a hot mountain mocha while glassing.  But I like the original much better.

Used the big Jetboil camp pot with the white gas on my last goat hunt.  Set-up was a bit funky trying to make it work.  But once I figured that out it was a great combination.  Other than I find it difficult to maintain a simmer with the white fuel stoves that I have.
