BTU stands for British Thermal Unit and is used to measure the heat output of stoves and fuels. A single BTU is the heat required to raise 16 ounces of water one degree Fahrenheit. Isobutane canister camping stoves typically produce between 4000 and 11000 BTUs. The Jetboil SUMO has the same features as the MiniMo, but with a 1.8L cook pot instead of a 1.0L one. It’s designed for couples or small groups, but is underpowered for that task, with the same 6000 BTU power stove as the MiniMo and MicroMo. While you can simmer with the SUMO, I’d recommend upgrading to the 10,000 BTU Jetboil MightyMo stove if you plan to cook for more than two people or want to use wider and higher capacity pots and pans for meal preparation. Watch your sleeves when lighting your stove. Thin material, especially that of wind shirts, is quite susceptible to melting if it comes anywhere close to a flame.

Before lighting, screw your stove onto your gas canister all the way (read the directions). Turn your gas valve. Then use your lighter to gently and carefully hold a flame to the gas until it lights. Read the instructions that come with your camping stove before doing this. Fire Making Equipment Making a Fire can be one of the most important parts of Bushcraft or Camping, Not only does it generate heat and enabling cooking of a great meal it is also one of the most social parts of the trip sitting around with your friends.

However, we would argue that because the WhisperLite can run on high carbon liquid fuel (which creates more buildup), this stove may require more cleaning and maintenance than other stoves. The relatively inexpensive Jetboil Flash is the base model integrated canister, but we think it's worth paying extra for the features found in its sibling, the Jetboil MiniMo. A close look reveals additional features, like a push-button piezo ignition. Testing this stove over the last three months has shown the igniter to work EVERY time, on the FIRST attempt.Jetboil stoves use common liquid fuel, but it can be a good idea to invest in Jetboil’s own JetPower fuel. Not all fuel canisters work with all Jetboil canister stoves, so the best way to ensure compatibility is to buy from the same manufacturer. Esbit stoves also have arguably the lightest weight fuel requirement and most efficiency per 1 L per burn. However, an Esbit stove can be difficult to light and often have a fishy odor. Additionally, solid fuel tablets can be difficult to find and take much longer to boil water than a gas stove. For a while, solid fuel stoves were allowed on Forest Service and Park Service land even when alcohol stoves were banned. Now that the loophole has been closed, I’m less enamored with Esbit stoves. Additionally, as fuel canister stove technology has gotten more efficient in burn time and weight, there are fewer reasons to use Esbit stoves. ALCOHOL STOVE All stove components (with the exception of the fuel) all fit nicely in a 900mL Evernew Titanium pot, with a pot scrubber, bandana, and camp cup. When placed in front of a desk fan in lab conditions for a five-boil test with Jetboil’s Jetpower 4-season fuel mix, the MightyMo averaged 3:32 to boil two cups of cold tap water. This is close to a minute slower than under calm conditions, rather impressive for a non-heat exchanger based system.

This stove pot also has simmer controls, which makes it easier to cook other dishes. You can use this for anything from ramen noodles or soups to your morning oatmeal. When it comes to portable stoves, Jetboil is a wilderness explorer’s best friend. The brand offers lots of great options for liquid fuel stoves for different needs. Also, keep in mind that the dependability of the MightyMo’s piezo ignitor will always be an issue. They rarely remain functional for long, so always carry a lighter or matches when using this stove (as you should have with you, anyway.) Weight

The only other thing to consider with using standard larger cookware is that the burner itself is quite small and you may have issues with heat distribution and food cooking evenly. What we liked: Extreme windproofness, works well in cold conditions, biggest capacity integrated stove we found, modularity allows for group and solo use without additional equipment, fast boil, stability, ease of use A wood-burning stove like the popular Solo Stove or new Patagonia Wood Burning Stove works by allowing you to collect small, dry twigs. Unlike a campfire, wood stoves protect the ground from scorched earth, funneling heat towards the bottom of your cookpot. So, in theory, an isobutane/propane mixture would work better in colder temperatures than a butane/propane mixture. However, since Coleman uses a much higher propane ratio (60/40), cold-weather performance between them and the expensive brands doesn’t end up being much different. JetBoil performance at an entry-level price. It’s limited by its smaller size, but still punches way above its price point. See Review
