Fantastic review! I learned some things about my beloved MiniMo that made me love it even more. As much as I'd like to boycot Johnson Outdoors for killing Eureka, despite it still being a profitable company, I just can't go without this stove! Really looking forward to possible future videos with it with your trademark thorough scientific approach.

Thanks so much. I try and give as many facts as I can and I appreciate the comment about 'trademark thorough scientific approach'! Many thanks.

You missed your calling Kevin. What an amazing review ! I am a huge JetBoil fan - top quality product. Thank you 😊

Heck yea, I second the comments on the windscreen! Manufacturers test their equipment in a lab, not out in the field. I would love to see a video that compares boil times for differing stove systems in calm, breezy, windy, and blustery conditions. I have an old camping stove that will boil water in under two minutes in no breeze, but as soon as you introduce breeze you can plan on (I've estimated) an extra minute per mile-per-hour per boil. The long and short of it is, that if I start out with a cannister that should last all week, with any sort of wind over a mild breeze, I can plan on running out of fuel before the weekend is out. The windscreens should be built into the design.

Some stoves do. This one is partially protected but I think they should have something that clips on and protects 1/3 or 1/2 of the burner.

I love my Jetboil. I've had it since around 2015 and it has held up flawlessly. I still take it on every trip. Like one of the other commenters(mine didn't come with a pot support either). Great review!

Thanks, must be a new addition to the kit. I am certainly happy to have it.

Great job Kevin! Very detailed review of the MiniMo which I was curious about and may also give it a try. Love the videos and looking forward to the next one. Thanks as always!

A big part of me wanted them to name the flux ring the flux capacitor.... Very thorough review - thanks.

Great job. Didn’t know my MiniMo was such a good stove.

Ha, I didn't either until I started playing with it. :)

I like your simple honest review. As you know, simple chemistry ensures that one gram of butane burned in air always produces the exact same energy and temperature. All these efficiency tests are so based on some magic. Turning up flame too high on any stove is wasteful to some degree. Wind usually has an effect. Heat exchanger fins always more efficient.

@KevinOutdoors 2 ай бұрын

Great comments, I have seen tests where turning the flame up too high wastes some fuel but I have not been able to replicate that. More playing with stoves is required. :)

@ak983625 2 ай бұрын

@@KevinOutdoors i have done tests on my brs3000. A moderate flame is as efficient as the best open burner stoves. But lower when opened all the way it’s obvious that the big roaring flame being wasted.

@craigrobertson6082 2 ай бұрын

Kevin, as always a very detailed and honest opinion / demo.. I never knew about the camp stove systems. Although these type of stoves work great, I am not a convert. For me, there is a downside to these bespoke sets in that they have less versatility. You cannot use the pot as a stand alone and I like my Whisperlite and Trangia.

@KevinOutdoors 2 ай бұрын

Hi Craig, yes I was skeptical of these systems too so I never invested in one. I will be doing the math and comparing this to other systems in the future. Thanks for checking in on this one.

@MrEllio7 2 ай бұрын

Very good detailed review. I have had a minimo for several years. The pot support was not included when I purchased it. I purchased the pot support and summit skillet at a later date.

@KevinOutdoors 2 ай бұрын

Perhaps they have more recently added the pot support and didn't change the box? Thanks for sharing. I look forward to trying the skillet.

Good man. I love my JB Stash. May upgrade!

@KevinOutdoors 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Richard, I was very happy with it and I really enjoyed the added features of the stove despite the weight. Message me if you think you might be coming to Canada this year. We'll try and get you out on some boreal lakes. :)

@steamboatmodel Ай бұрын

I wonder if the efficiency is due to the regulator rather then the heat exchanger?

@KevinOutdoors Ай бұрын

It would be the heat exchanger that is what it is designed to do. The regulator just maintains a more even burn from the start of the canister to the end.

@jonathanmurray7474 2 ай бұрын

You should do a comparison between jetboil and the msr windburner

@KevinOutdoors 2 ай бұрын

That is a possibility, a friend of mine just got one. They seem to have a problem with over heating and can only be reset with the legs of the stand.

@jonathanmurray7474 2 ай бұрын

@@KevinOutdoors ya I have the msr windburner I found it brought my water to a boil quicker than my freinds jetboil and I didnt mind the legs as you can spread them to allow more stability but my outer sleeve slid down when I want looking and burnt holes through it. But thats after years of use, all and all iv been happy with mine.

Lot's of plastic. Is the plastic BPA-free?

@KevinOutdoors 2 ай бұрын

Yes it is BPA free. There are no markings that would indicate BPA on the bowl or lid. Here in Canada if it might contain BPA there would be recyclable marking with a '7' and the letters 'PC' for polycarbonate. And I checked the California materials disclosure posted on the JetBoil site, it doesn't indicate any BPA.
