The first few times I used this stove, I loved it. I like this stove a lot and it heats/boils/simmers water really well but as other comments have said the igniter is poorly designed or constructed. Yet to be tested on a hike but cranks out heat beautifully. I ended up getting the Soto Amicus - liked the 4 pot stands, internal piezo and more wind resistance. That said, the pot support and the whole unit is really sturdy and heat output was great - not sure how much of a difference there really is between all the good brands by the time temps and wind varies. Got the whole unit replaced and it failed again, not totally but it needed 10 presses at times. Ask your local store which they see returned the most in your area.ĭespite a few negative reviews about the piezo issues I bought the stove and it worked a treat until on the second day the piezo failed alltogether. I decided on this stove because I feel like the build quality has been going down in the MSR's materials and the snowpeak and MSR stove were loose and felt alot more fragile. The problem is easily corrected by pushing the wire back down a few mms. My one piece of advice is the stove comes in a soft bag with the ignitor as the highest point, if the bag snags the wire end of the ignitor and pulls it out of the mms of distance from the burner as described in the manual you will see a spark but the burner will not light. So far this has been a great little stove that boils water incredibly fast but can be micro adjusted for God coffee and general cooking. We were lucky enough to have other climbers nearby to save our bacon for the remaining 2 days worth of cooking. We got this on a trip last summer to the North Cascades for a multi day climbing trip and it worked fine in the hotel the night before soon as we need to cook dinner we spent over an hour trying to fix it and we got nothing more than a sputter of a flame. Normally jetboil is on their game with all of their products. I wish they'd just eliminate the igniter as clearly only lasts for but a brief moment- make the stove lighter and have the buyer brig a lighter. This is a good stove but bring a lighter. Same thing quickly happened on the replacement. Jetboil replaced my first one due to faulty igniter. Jetboil - MightyMo Backpacking Stove Category: Camp Kitchen
