Saw this and thought I would share. Nice option if you are into built-ins.

Saw this stove option, also 15,000 BTU and excellent simmer control. Used the world over, the Iwatani stove is very well made. If a solo explorer wanted only one stove this might be a good choice and the butane cartridges are very easy to get in most places around the world.

Depending on where you go....

Propane Vs. Butane Stove

I even find my Iso-butane Jet-Boil performance is compromised in colder temps.

Looks like a great stove, but prefer propane option. Really just for the option of not needing the small cans. That's my complaint about the 1lb propane and jetboil canisters.

Would really prefer a two burner option. Worst case, I save my couch money for a Partner stove.

A few people on camp trips in our group have had issues with the BTU output from the canister butane stoves. Not a good thing when you need your morning coffee and can't get the water hot.

Adventures In Stoving: Gas Stoves in Cold Weather – Regulator Valves and Inverted Canisters
Interesting test video between the jetboil and MSR Reactor, he mentions both times that the MSR quit first.

One of the reasons I went to my Partner Steel stove is because it can operate at temps well below zero. For cold weather, I have heard that a hand warmer pack below your jetboil canister will assist in operation as it warms the fuel (just like it warms your hands I guess)



This guy has a good hack but not sure how to adapt this to a jetboil. I have my silicon band and my strip of copper, need to test this out.

Just jam the canister berween your legs when you go to bed the night before. Hot coffee!

Man, you guys make things harder than they have to be...

TMI. Remind me not to drink coffee with you.


Looking at the link that Phil posted this would make a nice roll out like Jeff and Monica had. Very good price for a one burner built in.

Looks like no worries on late coffee for the Mojave Road trip, the CSC grill is propane

Yes it is and it has a full fuel tank. We just need a 30+ cup CSC coffee maker for it

"That's not my bag, baby!" (Mildly disgusting, actually...)

And "jamming the canister between your legs" is better?

I’m dying here I’m laughing so hard.

Looks like a great set up for those that like the cooking aspect at a fair price.
