Jetboil weight, real world, not marketing fluff

**sdoownek** · 03-29-2006, 13:31

Weigh your jetboil and post the total weight, with one fuel canister, the pot, the stove, etc?
Basically the COMPLETE deal.

I'm not interested in the marketing numbers put out by jetboil, I want real world weights.

And yes, I've already asked neo (in a PM) to weigh his.

My alcohol stuff is:
Item.............oz.........gm
----------------------------
fuel bottle.....9.312....264
pot & lid........5.679....161
pot cozy.......0.882....25
windscreen....0.776....22
stove...........0.353....10
----------------------------
total...........17.002.....482

If the jetboil is (insert arbitrary number here) heavier, I might consider a switch..

JetBoil PCS - $80 - 15.125 oz - 428 g
- Weight w/o fuel cannister, with 1L pot, lid, cozy, handle, pot stand, stove, windscreen, heat exchanger, measuring cup (all included with cooking system).

SnowPeak GigaPower 110g Isobutane/Propane Cannister - $3 - 06 oz - 180 g

So a total of ~21 oz with a full cannister. I think Sgt Rock did a study and said that over time (accounting for fuel use over a week, I think) a JB user will carry a few ounces (5-6, maybe?) more than an alkie. There are charts and stuff either on his website or on BPL, too.

For me, it's about convenience...I'll pay that weight penalty.

I've cooked with my alky just fine at 13,000' in 35* weather. It's not the fastest, sure, but it's pretty low stress... pour in fuel, light, cook. No fiddling with gadgetry.

With that said, I am intrigued by the new JB due to come out later with a real cook pot on the top. Would be good for kayaking. Am interested in the weight breakdown on that as well once someone gets it.

OK, people, I'm looking for weights.

Not arguments, not flaming, not studies.

One of you go get your jetboil, place it on the stove, write down what it says, and then post it.

That's it.

I don't see why every single fscking post here needs to turn into a flamefest. I'm simply looking for the weight.

I'm sure that's true. Now, do you think you might be able to rise to the task of weighing it and posting the weight? Or are you content in just posting things that everybody already knows?

Cool. That's about what I thought. Anybody else willing to weigh? One sample does not a study make.

I'm starting to think the same thing.

I could...but I am at work and I don't take my Jetboil with me...unlike Neo loves his hammock...I don't love my Jetboil THAT much.

Besides the fact, I freely admit it weighs more...but I am not a weight Nazi...and besides my big three are already under 10lbs, so I'll deal!!! As long as total pack weight is around 25lbs...who cares!!!

The honest truth...I might not even carry a stove this summer. I hate hot food when I am hot!!!

Did I miss something or didn't Jeff already post the weights?

eh....yes? But an N of one isn't valid.
(for that matter, an N of 3 isn't valid either, but I'd accept that!!)
