JetBoils Mighty Mo!
« on: April 21, 2017, 06:57:09 PM »
I can't say enough good things about the JetBoil Mighty Mo. For those of you getting things together for this falls hunting season. The Mighty Mo is a heavy weight in a small, compact 3.4oz package. The auto start/ingnite is great. It has a huge regulator range. 4 1/2 full turns of range on the regulator, I can fry eggs like a breeze along with steaks and ham
And simmer at the lowest setting. Not to mention cooking back strap and tenderloin right at the field dressing site in the back country. The 10" JetBoil frying pan, along with utensils are super light. The frying pan has a heat ring on the bttom that is super functional for concentrating heat and blocking wind. I carry both in my pack, the Mighty Mo along with the JetBoil canister cooking system has me covered A through Z!

And the French Press accessory for the canister unit is Bad Azz for some rocket fuel coffee on those early crisp mornings!

Make sure you get the pot or pan holder if you have a regular jetboil. It's cheap and needed to hold the pan flat.

I've been reading everyone's comments about jetboil and mountain house for a while. Bought both to take with me turkey hunting a few weeks back. I was pretty impressed with both.

This! We didn't realize one was needed until we were 7 miles into the backcountry last year. We stacked rocks around the jetboil to hold the frying pan in place, but ended up melting the plastic ring around the burner.

Probably a stupid question but,  do you guys have a good way of knowing how much gas is left in your canisters?  I'm guessing it's just experience on how heavy it is?  I'm too the point where I'm bringing 3 canisters that I feel are low.

The most accurate way is to weigh the cannister. Obviously this requires a scale and some math and isn't to feasible in the backcountry. But is good to know and can give you a well educated guess as to what to expect from an individual cannister based on your use.

Many of the cannisters have some sort of marking system on them, that will give a estimate of fuel left. Usually its a simple float test. This isnt real accurate, but I use it when I am confident that the fuel will exceed my use requirements. 

Another thing to consider if packing extra canisters is refilling them, g works makes a product that will top off your cannisters so you can always have a full one and leave those extra half empty deadweight at the truck.

I will look into the float trick, thanks. G works, I'll have to check it out.  Thanks

This device seems like a good idea for emptying 3 low bottles into one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00U2EE6M2/
