Why We Chose the Jetboil for Our Kit

Six grams to boil using the Jetboil vs 10 for the MSR Pocket Rocket--66 percent more efficient. "That's me sold. I'm going to begin carrying the Sol Titanium from now on."



But don't take his word for it. Here's another test that proves the same thing: 

            Time          Fuel
Jetboil5:450.294oz
PocketRocket5:450.489oz
SnowPeak5:580.494oz
Despite initial appearances all of the stoves checked in with pretty much the same boil time on the one liter test. The major difference, of course, is fuel consumption. Jetboil used about 40% less. As I mentioned earlier the other two stoves were using the two quart pot on this test, which I think contributed greatly to their improvement in boil time.
