Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System

Product Information

Both MSR Windburner and Jetboil Micromo are great all-in-one stove systems. I have listed their prominent features in this article.

The Jetboil MightyMo is a powerful but standalone isobutane canister stove with a 10,000 BTU output. This is useful if you want to boil a big pot of water fast for hungry scouts. The MightyMo can be used with third-party cook pots and skillets from other manufacturers although it is optimized for use with the giant Jetboil 5L Fluxring cook pot, the smaller Jetboil FluxRing 1.5L cook pot, and the FluxRing Frying Pan, which require less fuel to heat than conventional cooking pots. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit and is used to measure the heat output of stoves and fuels. A single BTU is the heat required to raise 16 ounces of water one degree Fahrenheit. Isobutane canister camping stoves typically produce between 4000 and 11000 BTUs.The Jetboil MicroMo and the Jetboil MiniMo share a lot of similarities. This is due to the fact that the MicroMo is what it sounds like – a micro version of the MiniMo. While they do have some differences, their design and construction are exactly the same. In fact, both have exactly the same pushbutton started, burner, baseplate attachment, and even control valve! An additional advantage canister fuels have over liquids is that they don’t require priming, preheating or pumping!If you prefer using these canisters, make sure you read my post about the things you should know about butane canisters as a hiker , though.

Recently, this is considered the only major disadvantage of most Jetboil stoves - not just these two. Wind Shield: This stove comes with a built-in windscreen, and I seriously cannot tell you how convenient it is. There have been several times when I’ve been camping and the winds have been raging, and I don’t have to worry about my flame going out because of JetBoil’s wind shield. Built-in Pot Cozy: Most JetBoil stoves come with a built-in pot cozy. This is basically just a sleeve of fabric that covers the pot. There are several benefits to this: it saves your hands when you touch your pot, but it also keeps the food inside the pot nice and warm. If you’re looking for a larger option, the Jetboil MiniMo is the way to go. Although it’s only 3 ounces heavier than the MicroMo, it can hold a full liter of liquid, compared to the MicroMo’s 0.8-liter pot.On the other hand, the Jetboil MiniMo costs around the same price for a slightly larger cooking capacity. Like the MicroMo, it uses less fuel over time as a result of the fuel-saving functions of the FluxRing. It also has a one-year limited warranty in case of product malfunction or accidental damage. The Jetboil SUMO has the same features as the MiniMo, but with a 1.8L cook pot instead of a 1.0L one. It’s designed for couples or small groups, but is underpowered for that task, with the same 6000 BTU power stove as the MiniMo and MicroMo. While you can simmer with the SUMO, I’d recommend upgrading to the 10,000 BTU Jetboil MightyMo stove if you plan to cook for more than two people or want to use wider and higher capacity pots and pans for meal preparation. Push Button Ignition: A huge plus for JetBoil stoves for me is the push button igniter. Once you’ve attached your fuel canister to the bottom of the stove, you can simply press a button and voila, fire. Fluxring. Also called Heat Exchange Coils or Fins. These are metal coils soldered to the base of a cooking pot to hold heat and transfer it to the cooking pot even when the stove has been turned off. They also provide wind protection and have the potential to reduce fuel requirements by 30%.
