If you’re looking for a larger option, the Jetboil MiniMo is the way to go. Although it’s only 3 ounces heavier than the MicroMo, it can hold a full liter of liquid, compared to the MicroMo’s 0.8-liter pot. They also don't expire or go bad - although the valve can start to deteriorate (probably would take almost decades though)... Regardless, you can think of investing in a Jetboil CrunchIt to ensure emptying the cans completely and making them recycling bin ready. Boiling Speed Push Button Ignition: A huge plus for JetBoil stoves for me is the push button igniter. Once you’ve attached your fuel canister to the bottom of the stove, you can simply press a button and voila, fire. Compatible accessories include a Grande Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot

An additional advantage canister fuels have over liquids is that they don’t require priming, preheating or pumping!If you prefer using these canisters, make sure you read my post about the things you should know about butane canisters as a hiker , though. Due to the Jetboil MicroMo’s and MiniMo’s shared FluxRing technology, their pushbutton starters can light up in almost any weather conditions. Aside from the energy-efficiency of this design, the high walls and solid bottom of the baseplate protects your flame so that you can heat your soup no matter the wind. Not to mention, their starter works in temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Metal handles and redesigned FluxRing cooking cup optimized for a low spoon angle are perfect for personal cooking and eating Winner: Once again, the Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo stoves tie for first place. Although the pots are different sizes, the fuel-efficient design each stove shares means that their fuel efficiency is the same when measured against same-size competitors. Versatility in Weather Conditions The Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo are nearly identical systems that use a lot of the same components. However, the Jetboil MiniMo is a slightly better option for three basic reasons: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%.

Igniter. Also called a Piezo-Igniter. Produces a spark to ignite your fuel without matches or a lighter. They tend to wear out with use but can be replaced on some stoves. Igniters are often left off basic models and included as a higher-end feature on canister stoves. Both MSR Windburner and Jetboil Micromo are great all-in-one stove systems. I have listed their prominent features in this article. Jetboil's proprietary regulator technology offers incremental heat adjustments from light simmer to full boil, perfect for sautéing greens, simmering sauces, and moreJetboil’s camping cooking systems integrate a cook pot and stove into a highly efficient cooking system that was easy-to-use, fast, and completely self-contained. Below, we explain how to choose between the different Jetboil cooking systems so you can find the one that best suits your needs and budget. Specs at a Glance Make / Model 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. Recently, this is considered the only major disadvantage of most Jetboil stoves - not just these two. However, here, size does play a part. Although these systems share the same design and starter, the Jetboil MiniMo has a slightly wider, angled base on the pot. On the other hand, the Jetboil MicroMo has a straight up-and-down design at the base. This means that, in very windy or cold conditions, the MicroMo may not function as well.

The JetBoil MiniMo boasts the same proven, efficient technology for which Jetboil is so highly regarded with an innovative new valve design that gives it the finest simmer control of any upright canister system on the market. Its redesigned cooking cup gives you the perfect combination of size and optimized height, and coupled with the metal handles and low spoon angle it's very easy to eat from.Compatible with accessories include Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot Winner: As far as weather versatility goes, the Jetboil MiniMo has a slight advantage. The wider, shorter base means that wind and cold can’t get to the flame as easily as the taller, more open base of the Jetboil MicroMo. Heating Speed and Regulation Regulator. Also called a Stove Regulator. Stove regulators help ensure a constant flow of fuel to a stove even as the pressure inside a gas canister drops. This ensures constant performance and boiling times, even as the fuel contents of a gas canister are used up.
