Is this the same thing as the Coleman stove? Is this really any better than a Jetboil?

Yes, it is just like the Coleman single burner. I have never owned a Jetboil so I couldn't answer that question.

I don't know much about the other products, but this works well, packs back in the small box well. Legs come out for safe balance.

We use this stove for camping and it works great! WE love it! We did buy a wind screen but it was so short I didn't feel like it did much but I guess anything is better then nothing... I highly recommend the stove though!

I am not familiar with the JETPOWER canister. I go to WALMART and purchase butane fuel canisters in Sporting Goods section, to fuel the stove. They are short/sqwatty looking canister with matching threads to screw the fuel line hose from the stove to it. And are orange in color. Cost around $5.88 ea. Dave

No, this is the version without the starting "gadget" that tends to fail. In my opinion this is the better model as you save $50 for a gadget that tends to fail. There are plenty of other options on the market that assist in starting charcoal that you can get for far less than $50 to go along with this grill.

That will, of course, depend on how high you run them. These burners can be set very low, which is why I bought this stove. All I can offer is that I was replacing a cylinder every few days while camping with my wife in a fashion that avoided prolonged use of the stove. Basically, we would cook breakfast, including pan frying potatoes and peppers. We also boiled a quart of water several times a day for drinks (coffee, cocoa, instant noodles) and to wash dishes. Dinner meals were typically cooked over the fire. My impression is that it runs through about a third more gas than a low-profile 1970's old coleman propane stove that has similar-styled, but lower-BTU burners. If you were going to run it at full blast a lot, I would not use 1 lb containers. Instead I would get a converter hose and use 5, 10 or 20lb refillable bottles.

Hi Jason, It is a great stove for 1-2 But 3 is not really the best. If you are going to camp with 3, get a second stove. or even a third. They fold flat and if you have wood available where you are going. You don't have to pack any fuel. The extra stoves are nice because you can heat water for cleanup or coffee after heating with one of them. I think you get the idea!

It boils a little faster than the pocket rocket. They have the same weight, this one is more compact, has a piezo ignition so you don't need a lighter, and is way cheaper. Can't beat it

I bought the Chinese one linked above, worked great in home tests, clogged the first time I took it into the field. I can't rely on it one bit.I don't want to carry four stoves (re: Stan in St Louistan) into the backcountry. I want to carry one, that will work, period. Is it worth $25 to have a failed stove halfway into a through hike? At least if the MSR stove had quit working, I would have been able to get it replaced.

I would suggest looking at the YouTube videos on the Emberlit stove. It performs as advertised. I am very pleased at how easy it is to assemble and how well it works.

I used the small fold down stove that you put on top of a propane tank and it was fine , I hope that helps. I normally use them on a normal Coleman stove, but the work on the small one too.

I cannot do a comparison for you - but we are using this grill and find that it performs as stated in the ads; warms quickly and cooks perfectly. It is so sturdy and well made that we are well pleased with our purchase. No buyers remorse here. Hope this helps you. ELF

Try the alcohol stove. You can make it in about fifteen minutes with just two aluminum cans. I used to used canister stoves on my ultralight journeys, but if you're only boiling water for the most part, they are so light. You can't even buy them. Just Google penny stove if you wanna give it a try

Hard to compare what has not been released yet. Concerns I saw from their video (search Solo Stove Campfire) Hard to add wood and doesn't fold up. Given that you can put the stove inside their nested pots would be a plus but size makes it questionable for backpacking.

I got this for the okeba stove and it works great if your jetboil will screw onto a fuel canister it should work hope this helps

William and nanstertoo are correct. This bundle includes a propane burner attachment. That's the only difference between this bundle and the stove itself.

I own 2 of the cheap Chinese stoves and I will say they work pretty darn well. However, I will be purchasing a Pocket Rocket. This video comparison ( https://youtu.be/IRgxRENrmV4 ) convinced me to spend the extra bucks. The boil time and wind test were eye opening. I will keep my cheapies as backup.

depends how wide is the can. However the quality of this stove is baas i no longer have because the opposite side of the knob burned out and almost caused a disaster. Buy the coleman one. i found a new one on EBay for 23 and change delivered.
