Jet Boil, anything else quickly boils water when out ?
Hello


I few times now I have thought a Jet boil would be handy, the past few days included when in some Lanes around Wales thinking I would love a brew now...

So I've seen this?

Are these the 'best' / 'Quickest' for making a coffee while out and about as well as handy for camping?


Then a cup to go with it.... this looked good and I spotted another in LR magazine but forget the make.

Who has the jet boil and its it worth it, I love the idea of the Kelly Kettle for camping but for just a quick drink this seems better?

If you're out for a day, we usually take a couple of flasks with just hot water, make the brews with that.

It doesn't have the 'sense of adventure' of boiling a kettle, but it doesn't matter if it's hammering down outside...instant too.

I have a small Snow Peak collection and have their stove...but never used it Rolling Eyes

I prefer the Coleman stove if we do intend to go out for a whole weekend.





and use these mugs, the best I've ever used and is put in to use 5 days a week, for the last 3 years!!!

I believe there is a jet boil copy which is quite good made by a company called Alp kit?

Might be worth a look Thumbs Up

Thanks all.


A flask... How sensible Smile


With the Jet boil and 'copy' once the Gas is connected is that it does it stay connected? until the can is used. Like the old fashioned stove I used to use once the can pierced it stays connected and has to be used?


Are these ok therefore to travel with? Thinking of putting it all in a Peli style case

Thanks

In a Land Rover this would be more appropriate, they are very good

We have a Jetboil Sumo - slightly larger capacity as there are 3 of us. You can also buy a set of 3 bowls which store inside it - handy if you want a bowl of soup each or something similar.

You screw the gas canister on when you need to use it, and take it off again when you've finished - this also stores inside the container. It's a good bit of kit.

We have one of these, just like a gas hob, but give flexibility of heating kettle but also saucepan for the bacon sarnie.

No the gas cannisters screw on and off and you can connect and disconnect as many times as you like Thumbs Up

^ I also have this and we use it a lot camping but not quick for wanting a hot drink.

Cheap as chips though and the 'cans' are cheap also.
