Our testers also thought the pour spout that comes with the lid could be better angled and more generous, but honestly, we recognize just having a pot lid with a pour spout is rare and exciting in the gear world. 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. The short answer is no. If your JetBoil (or another camping stove) fits onto the fuel canister, it will work. Between me and the people I’ve camped with, I’ve used countless fuel brands for my stove, including Jetpower, Gigapower, MSR, GasOne, Coleman, Primus, and Snowpeak. None of them made a noticeable difference in boiling time or how long they lasted.

Can reach a rolling boil in roughly three minutes with half the fuel consumption of traditional systems

A newly designed diaphragm in the stove’s regulator also aids to Jetboil’s claim of "stable cooking down to temperatures of 20°F". Testing has shown no change in operation, regardless of temperatures (range tested between 25°F-70°F).

What we liked: extreme windproofness, fast boil, igniter that never dies, modularity allows for use on solo pots or big group group pots, cooks hotter and faster than other stoves Fluxring. Also called Heat Exchange Coils or Fins. These are metal coils soldered to the base of a cooking pot to hold heat and transfer it to the cooking pot even when the stove has been turned off. They also provide wind protection and have the potential to reduce fuel requirements by 30%.
