Recently picked up a jetboil MiniMo from my REI dividend, and thought I'd put it through a first fire and boil test.

The fuel canister I am using is nearly empty, probably 20% fuel, and it boiled 1/2 liter (16 oz) of cool tap water in basically 120 seconds. (67 to 200 degrees)  that is extremely impressive based on my previous backpacking stove systems (non-jetboil).

This stove has excellent simmer control, and I can see myself using this on almost every Boy Scout Trip, backpacking trip, and day hike where I cook my lunch/dinner.

My other backpacking stoves still have a purpose though!  Long live the Whisperlite International! Large pots for boiling water, large group cooking etc would be much easier on that Whisperlite...  but this jetboil minimo is a winner and will go into my "front line" stove choice for sure!
