Jetboil knockoffs

(1/4) > >>

Stein:
Anyone have any experience with the Jetboil knockoffs?  I'm seeing APG, BLUU and others on Amazon for about 1/3 of the cost of a Jetboil.  I was also looking at the MSR windburner, but I'm not a gram weenie, just want something compact and that doesn't break the second time out and not super excited about paying for big brand name marketing budgets.

The knockoffs are still in the $50 range and don't have many reviews, so I'm a little reluctant to just try it out.

fowl smacker:
No experience with knock offs, but I will tell you that the Jetboil minimo is worth every penny in my opinion.  Buy once, cry once.

Stein:
Yeah, my problem is I cry once, then cry when I lose it, drop it over the side of my boat or accidentally back over it with my truck.

full choke:
I have a windburner. It is the 1L size. Boils quick, built like a typical MSR product. I really like it.

whacker1:
i have a jetboil flash i have had for 7 or so years.  igniter doesn't work very often, but still boils water.

don't know anything about the off brand, but i plan to buy the windburner next time.  support the local vs the china company.  The windburner boils better in wind as the name implies.
