$30 Jetboil Alternative

16oz of water to a rolling boil in about 100 seconds.
Won't have the same kind of wind resistance as a jetboil, but it is a great way to get the benefits of a heat exchanger without breaking the bank. $25 for the pot and $5 for the stove. Both free shipping on Amazon all the way from China (takes about a month to get here).
With these kind of boil times it is easy to see how one of these gas canisters could last two 3-season hikers a week (or more) with mountain house meals every day and hot drinks in the AM and PM.
Like I say in the video, it is good to have an idea of how long it takes to get water to "hot drink" status. Since there is no need for a boil, you can save fuel by just bringing the water to your desired drink temperature.

I would use an "emergency blanket" (1$)... cut it to size. And then wrap it around the pot and use a bulldog-clip to keep it in place, just above the handles. There you go, wind resistance and heat reflectance at 12gram weight. Thank you for this setup tip!

I just use some foil from kitchen, $0.01 I guess :) . And I get to not ruin an emergency blanket.

Interesting, this might be worth considering as a alternative to my fancy feast or pocket rocket. Thanks for sharing the idea Buck.

+BackpackingBen Its a great little combo, good for the shoulder season temperatures when the smaller alcohol stoves do not put out enough heat. It is also pretty weigh conscious for this style of system.. For example an MSR WindBoiler with a 4oz fuel can weighs the same as this setup with an 8oz fuel can.

You wasted 24 seconds of burning fuel by not having the pot full of water ready to go.

A pot like the one you used, I’m assuming it’s a Fire Maple brand is about $18.XX now on fleBay....great vid of a more frugal JetBoil alternative...

An 8oz gas canister is shown in the video. They also make 4oz and 16oz gas canisters as well.

Thanx for the Upload; A really cool pot I'm thinking of getting - I can pick one up for $15 right now from eBay UK Looks to me like the physics involved are pretty similar to the Jetboil in that the Heated Fin Construction helps to enhance the transfer of heat?! However my Pocket Stove is slightly different to the one shown (mine has 3 folding pot supports not 4) - so I'd be greatful if anyone can tell me the internal dimensions of the base? (to know whether or not mine would fit?) ty :)

It wouldn't have to fit inside the heat exchanger ring, just does on mine. Exact same principle as the jet boil yep!
