    Good Group Stove
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2011*

We used two of these stoves for a Philmont expedition of 12 Scouts / adults and were pleased with the light weight, sturdiness and rapid ability to boil.  Use at altitudes up to 8500ft (the highest we camped) was simple and reliable. Overall much better than our previous MSR white gas stoves which frankly are horribly difficult to use in the dirt and grime of Southwest camping.  After 2 weeks in the dirt they worked perfectly every time, last time our MSR stoves all had issues and needed repairs during and after the expedition.The Good1.  Easy to pack, clean, care for....no problems with dirt or failures on an extremely dusty trek.2.  Quick to boil, reliable with a very stable base support.3.  Easy to handle, lightweight and insulation combined with built in handles makes it cool to the touch and Scout-proof.4.  Surprisingly economical on fuel....do some experiments with boil times, you won't need nearly as much fuel as you think.  It was way more convenient than white gas stoves.The Not so Good1.  Fuel canister when low sometimes "burped" resulting in small fireballs that remove arm hair. Didn't happen every time but did occur twice....livens up meal times a bit.2.  Not good if you want to do back country gourmet cooking...temp control is difficult, goes from hot to too hot in about 1/8 of a turn of the throttle.3.  The lid is stupid...deforms under heat but can be reformed and fitted.  Why not just make it a stable high temp material?  We used the lid upside down to keep the dirt and junk out during cooking so it warps and deforms.4.  Wind shield is fairly cheesy....we didn't always set it up and that does reduce the boiling time slightly.  On the plus side I thought the boys would destroy the wind shield within a week but they held up.Overall a good product with great value for group expeditions.

    Careful attention to the flame.
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018*

This product works as expected, maybe even better, I've never owned any other, but the one thing that I noticed and I used it on a five week wilderness excursion was the pilot flame was easily blown out and difficult to control when you want to lower the flame. It required constant attention. It packs up neatly although not quickly. You have to remember how to fold up legs and a plastic shield. Also, the plastic covers can melt easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Perfect for family camping
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014*

If you're doing serious solo backpacking, get the single cup Jetboil.  If there will be more than one of you, get the Helios.  ONLY boil water and pour that for reconstitution, tea or coffee.  This thing is fast, fast FAST!  It's not for frying - not for simmering.  The very intense flame is off or on.  A one trick pony, but terrific at it's intended purpose.
