Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System

Product Information

Winner: Once again, the Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo stoves tie for first place. Although the pots are different sizes, the fuel-efficient design each stove shares means that their fuel efficiency is the same when measured against same-size competitors. Versatility in Weather Conditions Recently, this is considered the only major disadvantage of most Jetboil stoves - not just these two. Compatible with accessories include Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot Compatible accessories include a Grande Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot However, here, size does play a part. Although these systems share the same design and starter, the Jetboil MiniMo has a slightly wider, angled base on the pot. On the other hand, the Jetboil MicroMo has a straight up-and-down design at the base. This means that, in very windy or cold conditions, the MicroMo may not function as well.

The Jetboil MicroMo has the same pot size as the Jetboil Zip, but its stove has more power, comes with a push-button igniter, and has a built-in pressure regular so it’s better for cold weather use. A pressure regular helps maintain a steady flow of fuel from a canister to the stove as the gas pressure in the canister drops. This occurs when the outside temperature falls or as the gas in the canister is used up. The MicroMo will still only burn canister gas down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but it will burn hotter and more forcefully than the unregulated Zip or Flash stoves until the pressure in the canister drops below the minimum pressure required by the stove to operate. The MicroMo is also designed to simmer, so you can cook things like scrambled eggs or pasta with cream sauce, although it’s easier to do this with the Jetboil MiniMo. Like the Zip, you can expect to get boil 12 liters of water with a 100 g fuel canister.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! 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.

Lid and Handle: When I cook my food but I’m not ready to eat it, I know I can put the lid on it, and even if I trip over it while I’m setting up camp, my food won’t spill. I also use my stove to make overnight oats, so having a lid is a big plus, knowing that bugs won’t crawl inside while I’m sleeping.

Accessories

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. Jetboil's proprietary regulator technology offers incremental heat adjustments from light simmer to full boil, perfect for sautéing greens, simmering sauces, and more Regulator. Also called a Stove Regulator. Stove regulators help ensure a constant flow of fuel to a stove even as the pressure inside a gas canister drops. This ensures constant performance and boiling times, even as the fuel contents of a gas canister are used up.

Due to the Jetboil MicroMo’s and MiniMo’s shared FluxRing technology, their pushbutton starters can light up in almost any weather conditions. Aside from the energy-efficiency of this design, the high walls and solid bottom of the baseplate protects your flame so that you can heat your soup no matter the wind. Not to mention, their starter works in temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Both MSR Windburner and Jetboil Micromo are great all-in-one stove systems. I have listed their prominent features in this article. Winner: As far as weather versatility goes, the Jetboil MiniMo has a slight advantage. The wider, shorter base means that wind and cold can’t get to the flame as easily as the taller, more open base of the Jetboil MicroMo. Heating Speed and RegulationWinner: Once more, between the Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo, the competition comes to a draw. Since these two systems share an identical FluxRing technology component, they heat water at the same speed. Price and Value Winner: When it comes to cooking and handling, it’s a tie between the Jetboil MicroMo and the Jetboil MiniMo. Both stoves come with a wide variety of the same excellent features – the only real difference here is the size of the pot! Fuel Efficiency

But, if you’re on the hunt for a lighter option, the Jetboil MicroMo may serve your needs. This 12-ounce pot may be only 2.6 ounces lighter than the MiniMo’s 14.6 ounces – but when you’re on the trail, every ounce counts. Reaches a rolling boil in just over two minutes with half the fuel consumption of traditional systems The Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo are nearly identical systems that use a lot of the same components. However, the Jetboil MiniMo is a slightly better option for three basic reasons: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. 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. Yes, there are faster boiling stoves out there but 2m 15sec is very good. But more importantly, the fast boiling system of stoves such as Jetboil Flash goes out the window then the perfect conditions are removed and some wind/cold weather is brought to the environment. Igniter. Also called a Piezo-Igniter. Produces a spark to ignite your fuel without matches or a lighter. They tend to wear out with use but can be replaced on some stoves. Igniters are often left off basic models and included as a higher-end feature on canister stoves. Even though the MSR Windburner is slightly heavier and bigger with harder simmer control compared to Jetboil Micromo, I would think that its fuel-efficient design and sturdy composition is well worth its price to put into use through long years.
