    Op have you tried looking at some of them aliexpress alternatives? They're half the cost, and quality wise is pretty good for the asking price.

    • name a few? interested

        Simply go on Aliexpress and type in Jetboil.

        I have a Maple Fire stove and it's great. Works really well.

        • And I've the Widesea, lol.

            @Spending2Much: That exact one but without the pot cradle and with a different lid. It boils a full container of water very quickly. I think it cost around $80 from AliExpress. The only mild annoyance is the pretty high cost of the small gas canisters, but it's great that they all fit in the container.

              @banana365: You can get a $2 adapter to refill the camping gas canisters from the much cheaper stove canisters from Bunnings and such.. Just search ebay or the likes for >> gas refill adapter… Like:
              https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gas-Refill-Adapter-For-Outdoor-C…

              This type of gas is cheap all over the place:
              https://www.bunnings.com.au/gasmate-220g-rim-vent-safety-but…

              (Edit: I should add, you really need some kitchen scales or the likes to weigh a full cylinder, so you know how far to fill them when you refill)

              • @FLICKIT: Thanks for that, I've just ordered one. I should have thought there'd be an option like that, I've got a similar thing for filling my Sodastream cylinder from a large CO2 cylinder.

                • @banana365: I'm curious, is this refilling safe? What happens if you overfill? The liquid spills out? Any chance of explosion? (refill of the gas cannister that is)

                    @foggy10: It's very straight forward to fill the camping cylinders, kinda like refilling a cigarette lighter…

                    1. weigh a new cylinder, most of mine are around 380 grams, and write the weight on the bottom for future reference.
                    2. use that cylinder.
                    3. put the cylinder you want to fill (or top up) in the freezer for a while, when cool they're easier to fill because the liquid isn't turning to gas.
                    4. refill to around 380 grams, weighing as you go, it's a fairly slow process so you're unlikely to overfill.. Sometimes they're very slow to fill, it helps to wrap your hands around the donor cylinder to warm it to help increase the pressure and force the gas into the cool receiving cylinder faster..

                    If you over fill it's likely to spew out a bit of liquid like if you tip the stove over, if you take care it's not an issue..

                    The pressures involved you will never rupture a cylinder or such… I've refilled a heap, some many times over, and never had an issue..

                    Google >> refilling camping gas cylinder, you'll find lots of tutorials and youtube vids…

                    Edit: if you want to fill your existing cylinder that you haven't weighed full, completely empty it, weigh it, then add the amount of gas it holds.. i.e. a 230 gram cylinder holds 230 grams of gas.. empty they weigh about 150 grams… so 150 + 230 = 380 grams, so fill till it weighs 380 grams…

                    I love refilling because I can always head off with a full cylinder, I don't end up with a bunch of 1/2 empty ones sitting at home and I dont have to carry a spare.,..

                      @FLICKIT: I've got the adaptor for the canisters, but haven't had to do it yet.

                      When I do get around to it, I'll just make sure to.l do it in a well ventilated area or outside.

  • I go 2 person camping via kayak and have been looking to get one of these, which would you recommend for size to cover 2 person, weight not overly important as can store it on the boat… the flash? the zip is only 200ml less but ~$25 cheaper, is that worth the reduction in size? thanks!

    • +4

      Don’t bother with the Zip for that price difference. The convenience of the push-button igniter on the Flash makes it well worth the small difference in price. Just be aware that both models are designed for heating water, and in turn heat packet food. If you want to actually cook not just reheat/rehydrate, the other models like the Sumo are better choices.

    • The Zip doesn't have the piezo ignition.
      The Flash has the ignition and the gimmicky heat visual strips.

      The flash is purely for boiling water however. Think MRE and ready meals, cook in bag style etc. Perfect for coffee on the go.
      I do adventure riding and camping trips on bike and it packs slim and is super fast.
      One note, the very latest jetboil Flash isn't available in Australia, as it didn't meet the AGA requirements. (Gas industry)
      That shaves seconds off boil time and is slightly lighter, unfortunately.

      Note the 100 sec on flash is the US version. (Not available in Aust)

      TheFerryMan is right, I would be looking at the Sumo for cooking/boiling and more people. The book time is for 1 litre, not half litre other comparisons.
      Given size and storage on kayak.

      • Awesome info, thanks all, how long does the Jetboil Flash take to boil on the AU / old version for 1L? Everything I read says 2.5 mins for 1/2 a L?

        • I understand it's 2 mins 15 secs (135 seconds)
          Vs the non approved US version of 100 secs.

          Obviously varying factors such as temp, wind etc

    • Not sure how big your kayak is but IMO kayak camping allows you to bring a lot more than, say, hiking. When kayaking I just take my trusty Kmart type butane gas stove - it fits through the opening of a 50l drum (used for watertight storage). $20 stove, $6 for 4 cartridges - done for a week of good use.

      • What do you use for kettle? I haven't found a decent kettle for car camping when using my (similar) butane cooker

        • I just use a small pot with lid.

          I can't see any great advantage of a seperate kettle. (Is there?) A mate of mine has a small aluminium looking one - not sure where he got it, it's old and banged up.

          (I do take a bialleti type device for coffee if I'm going for a while).

    • I bought the JetBoil Mimimo, 1 litre vs 1.8 litre of the Sumo.
      Lower profile for eating/spooning directly from pot.
      Practically same price as the Sumo ($188.96)

      Same size burner/ignition/controller etc

      Comes with the pot stand as far as I can tell.
      This is for bike camping/adventure riding.
      Slightly more versatile than the Flash, albeit much more expensive.

      I tend to use the individual sachets of flavoured coffee you buy in boxes of 10.

  • Just went to purchase a Sumo and it looks like the price has gone back up :(.

    • Get it from Wildearth ( I prefer their eBay store), it's still less than $200

      • Seems to be $209, I think it was $188 on amazon before it sold out.

        • using code "TREATS5" reduces to $199.45 for me (eBay-Wildearth)

  • Awesome. I had been looking at these in the stores after seeing a mate use one to boil water quicker than I could imagine. Shame the pot is still so expensive

  • is the Sumo the best option if you want to boil water, but also have ability to do some very basic cooking (fry a fish, scramble some eggs for instance)? Can it do this or are these really 99% for boiling water only?

    • The Sumo and Minimo are regulated so should have alot more varying control over heat output.
      The Zip and Flash are purely water boilers, and do it very well. (Unregulated)
