The Jetboil gas canister are a tri-blend of fuel, other brands are usually a dual blend of fuel. The jetboil comes into its own at lower temperature ie under 3’c. Something to watch out for on those clear nights in the desert. Ps my Trangia and Esbit stove still going strong after 12 years.
My choice is Trangia, but always have some paper packed in-between the pots so they don't vibrate, I like Trangia because they are self contained and can be used even in a blizzard, my Trangia will use metho gas and solid fuel, as for fuel leaks from the burner, simply don't store fuel in it. Last trip I did from Tasmania to Birdsville I used it and my friend that had one of those gas burners things used mine as well because his was so impractical to use. Trangia kick the rear end of all those other toy ones. The burner in the orange box is what I converted to run in my Trangia, all I did was take the legs off and bolted it to a peace of aluminium plate that I drilled a hole in, it was cheep and works a treat. Your system takes up to much room, in my opinion, Trangia is fully self contained with everything you will need even in strong wind
One point to be aware of with Jetboil is the different taps on different models. The lower end models have a simple, unregulated tap, basically off or on, nothing in between, as you found in the clip. That’s fine for just boiling water or heating a packaged meal. However, if you want to carefully cook or simmer something you’ll need to go up a version or two to get the regulated tap which allows you to moderate the flame. Both excellent products, just a case of carefully buying what you really need.
@@dave-orourkeon the contrary, my galaxy phone is made in Vietnam. Last time I checked, Vietnam did not have the fastest growing military on the planet. Nor is it threatening unification with it’s neighbours. But keep complacent, you’re in good company, sadly.
Consider a Trangia stove/cook set. Made in Sweden, they can run on metho or gas with the burner accessory. The best gas burners are hands-down MSR but they aren’t cheap.
LOL I still got my original Jet Boil the first ones that came out that has built in igniter and it works fine, I also know that camping-outdoor door store sometimes sell jet boil style fuel canisters made by other brands for less money and they work just fine. They also make a coffee press for the jet boil systems as well as cookware but I just do instant coffee on the road. But its interesting that Jet Boil is also making tripod style stoves Funny in the 80's for camping I used fold up box thing stove that used a big can of Sterno and I still have it. 😆 I mainly use my jet boil for when the power goes out and I want to heat up some water. Don't camp or ride motorcycles much these days.
G, day Mark, great video as always, one thing you missed out was the ceramic disc for the little stove to spread the heat and not burn the centre of the pot or frying pan.
Lovely video Mark! It’s funny how people get all worked up over these things. And I agree with you, the simpler and easier a burner is to use, the better. And the adapters for the cheaper gas cans are available all over the internet these days, and in so many forms that there’s almost no reason to go with a system with the expensive cans. Now, I live in a place where we get those low temperatures in winter. And I go skiing. When it’s below about-5 C the gas burners become practically useless. But that’s for a completely different use. I run with a Primus Omnifuel in winter. A bit more faff. But it runs on any liquid fuel that is a petroleum derivative. (Alcohol will ruin the O-rings). I’ve run it on chainsaw 2-stroke mix, diesel, regular unleaded, but my favourite is "lamp oil", an extra refined paraffin that doesn’t smell. But that’s besides the point of this video. For motorcycling I run a Primus Express with an adapter like yours. It’s almost identical to yours. The point I’m trying to make in a very roundabout way, is that as with anything, the most sensible thing to do is to get gear that is suited for your situation and needs. I like to cook, even when in the field. So I could never be satisfied with a JetBoil. (I’ve tried, and it’s just not versatile enough. But hey, it’s in the name; JetBOIL. It’s sole purpose is to put as much energy into a pot in the shortest amount of time possible. So you can only boil with it. Not cook). So I choose something small, versatile for motorcycling. And for skiing and wintery outdoors stuff I use a liquid burner. The great thing about both systems is that I can use the same cookware for all of it. I just change out the burner. Sometimes I go out with other people. There might be a barbecue about. I can even use my regular cookware on that if need be. As long as the food turns out good, I’m not too fuzzy about the burner… (I love those old fashioned brass stoves though). But not for motorcycling.
I use an adaptor to refill the screw on bottles with the cheaper canisters. I refill with butane in summer and propane/butane mix for winter. It saves me being stuck with half empty cannisters.
Great Video. What I like about gas is your cookware stays clean on the outside unlike wood or liquid fuels and is ready to go no waiting to heat up or build a fire. Ever since I saw your Soto review I have like 4 of them because they last forever and once you remove the safety on the switch it's perfect.
Thank you so much for this video. Yank here with a DR650 so being limited on space and having so many options it’s been a bit overwhelming to get into this world. A lot of the time we have “no wood fire” warnings so making food can be a bit of a hassle when I can’t bring the whole kitchen.
Like you said, Jetboils are brilliant if all you do is boil water. No stove does it quite as well for such a compact system. I'll stick with my Trangia 27 or my Furno stove for anything other than ultra-light hiking. Cheers Mark.
Great review. Campmaster sell the 'Ultra Jet 1' Hiking Stove at Kmart for $49, Which is very similar to the Jetboil in almost every way. BCF sell the Campmaster 'Ultra Jet 2' for $120. Campmaster also sell their own brand of gas canister. A 227 gram canister at Kmart is $4.50. Jetboil is overpriced and more suited to BMW/KTM riders. 😂🤣 (just kidding)
I’ll stick with my Trangia 25…..all packs down into one easy piece….kettle, frying pan, two pots, handle, burner, cutting board/strainer, and more if you want………fuel is cheap, works in all weathers, stable, wind proof…..no contest…….
Total agreement with you Mark. I use the liquid stoves only for the fun factor or as another alternative and the wood stoves are limited by no fire days and wood/fuel supply. You turned me onto the SVEA and I’ve purchased a couple vintage 123 stoves. Firebox sells a solder sealed Trangia alcohol stove and I haven’t had the issue that your stove developed. I bought the MSR system that is similar to the Jetboil and has similar issues, the pots have those specially built bottoms. Thanks for the jetboil adapter idea, I need to look into that for the MSR. The lil MSR pocket rocket is my oldest stove and most used. Just chuck the fuel can and stove into the pot and it doesn’t take up much room.
Interesting video.. I was just thinking over the weekend to buy a jetboiler for carrying around when out riding, not for cooking, since I don't do much camping... but for having a cup of coffee out in the middle of nowhere... And after seeing your video, I am mostly convinced that your "brew kit" is much better suited for my needs... Unfortunately, I am not in Australia :( ... Very nice and cheerful video! Cheers!
butane cook elements are on the main online stores and auction sites. I found 1 option that has a fold out windshield array...but its a bit bulkier but will fit in a small cook pot.
@@UncannySense yeah, I've been checking online as well and found a bunch of options... not quite the same but similar.. Still, would have rather buy and support the channel.... Maybe in a future...
I got the kmart jetboil copy. They also sell it at bcf. Really good but like the jetboil can't use a pan directly on it. I cut up an old tin can and sit it between the pan and burner
Mate I got a jet boil for my birthday and what I refill the jet boil cans and it’s a mix of the long cans and LPG really not hard and it works out $0.60 and been doing for about a 2 years works great Oh great videos by the why
i use the burner you sell i have the adapter for cheap low pressure butane cans. but on long trips or trips in the snow i use the same screw on butane/propane gas cannister that the jetboil uses. it packs better with the canister fitting in my saucepan and obviously isn't effected by cold. you can also find the screw on canisters on sale for under $10 each. you can also buy adapters to refill them if you want the compact size of the canister and save money.
Excellent Mark … I purchased a jet boil. The snag is, as you said, it can only be used for water … it can’t be run at a low setting and will burn a stew or similar.
Your correct in terms of the base model Jetboils with the off/on valve. However there are other models with a graduated valve that quite successfully slow cook or simmer. Maybe they should explain it better in their marketing material.
I use a Coleman Duel Fuel 533 it’s a bit big but I like it and I run it on Shellite but if I run out of that I can run it on petrol. My son had issues with one of the gas stove and not being able to light it on a really cold morning.
Buddy, I've really liked your videos. But man, you made using the jet boil look like had work. They are really easy to use. Just a bit time with it and you'll see how good they are. Especially when it's really bloody windy.
Jet Boil Flash or Sumo both regulated all i use started with the flash then bought there , utencils , attachment , Stove Ceramic Gauze Mat , summit skillet , 5L pot & later the Sumo. now seriously looking at The Genesis Basecamp Stove also have the small gas cooker in the orange package in your collection - never used it
I have an ex USMC coleman peak 1 400 dual fuel stove circa 1991 with a USMC branded MSR 600ML fuel bottle scored off of Ebay It will do for my needs as a HR truck driver & eventually for M/C touring eventually, as it came with a two piece alloy case/pot system ,but I"ve bought sea to summit alloy 2 alpha pot bowl & cup set as well as the sea to summit silicon pots & plates. I don't like the idea of gas canisters in either a vehicle cab or a pannier system, if I'm likely to replace the coleman with a MSR dual fuel stove.
What happened to the trusty old Hexamine Stove? - They don't leak fuel plus they're not adversely affected by the cold (unlike Butane) - Also they fold up so small they take up the least amount of room on a bike - Infact they're the most robust, reliable and affordable stove one can get and standard military issue all over the world - Truly can't believe you ignored them completely.
Me agradan muchas configuraciones de los equipos de Gas Butano. Pero creo que seguire fiel a mi Estufa Coleman dual fuel 533 por muchos años. Saludos Sr!
Thanks for the video. Super interesting. Stupid question but is there any solution that uses fuel from my bike? I'm planning a long trip and I'm pretty sure those cans that you're using will not be available.
The problem with butane is it doesn’t work below around 5° C. On the West Coast of Canada I had to stop using it altogether. Too many times it left me unable to even boil water.
I have a Soto g2 ST-320 stove that I got for 60 dollars on Amazon that is perfect for my motorcycle camp that is way cheaper and more effective than the jetboil.
The Jetboil brand has a number of different models. Some, like the Flash, use a gas controller that is not regulated. These models are primarily used for boiling water quickly. I suspect the Jetboil unit you were demo'ing was of this type. Other Jetboil models, such as the Sumo and MiniMo, do have regulated gas controllers and they can be turned right down to be able to simmer. These don't boil water as quick as the Jetboil Flash, but they aren't slouches either. Cheers!👍👍
Something that beats all of what you showed is a Multifuel stove. Like Primus or MSR... they work perfectly in any condition also very cold or windy conditions. they can run on butan, whitespirit gas even airplanefuel. So nothing extra to carry with you I assume you have gas in your tank on the bike. But they are a little bit more technical hands on when you use them and since you had problem to even attach the foot on the gas canister it might not be for you? But its the best alternative for me anyway.
I agree. I have the MSR, whisperlite, I think. I usually use the propane cannister but nice to know you can use other stuff if it runs out. Pricey though!
By gas I assume you mean petrol or gasoline ? Gets confusing when you mention gas as a fuel, gas is a gas where as gasoline is a liquid. I get your gist though as I also have a MSR and it does use petrol just not gas. 😂😂😂😂 Aussies use petrol, short for petroleum.
@WhiteDRguy 650 yes I use it to shorten of gasoline. Of course you can also say petrol or benzin I assumed since I wrote that is what you have in the tank of your bike most people could guess what I meant... but I guess I was wrong.
I have a Coleman unleaded petrol, dual burner stove that we used on a 4wd trip to Cape York in 1993. Worked brilliantly, but I haven't used it much since then. It's in storage with all of my family oriented camping gear. These days it's either bike camping for me, or 4/5 star resorts with the better half. ;)
I don't think you're fair to the Jetboil because you just don;t like the price and you have the wrong Jetboil, the Jetboil flash has a clicker ignition so you don't need a lighter. Yes it's expensive but a full pot boils in 100 seconds. The Jetboil gas is also not just gas but also works in high altitudes. If you just want a cuppa boil the water and pour it in the cup, boil a little extra and you have water left to rinse the cup afterwards and because of the fast boiling you need less gas.
@@BikerBits I’ll give a few a go and let you know. I’ve seen those compact ones for camping that fold flat. That’s a win right there, space saved and coffee/tea and noodles etc sorted 🍺
I’m struggling to find out a 100% certified answer on this so perhaps you can help. Will the Svea run on unleaded petrol? The manual says not car gasoline but does say unleaded white gasoline. Now my mate thinks it’s an old manual and unleaded petrol is much cleaner these days. As a biker you are always gonna have access to petrol, you need it for the bloody bike, and you might be in the middle of some Moroccan desert for days on end and your not gonna get a gas canister. Totally agree for the beginner/newbie to go with gas, but those travelling further afield on longer adventures petrol makes more sense as you’re always gonna have plenty. I like the look of the Svea 123 as it looks bombproof, but if it won’t run nicely on petrol I’m gonna go with the Soto Muka instead. Any help would be appreciated - many thanks for England!
If I was using the jetboil (and I wouldn't) with the cheap gas I'd put my cutlery, salt and pepper a bandana etc inside the jetboil when not in use to make use of that space, but I use the same set up as you even though i have the little alcohol stove and the firebox wood stove as well...
I can’t decide whether I got more enjoyment out of this Video for educational purposes or just a whole Lotta laughs.

It looks like you could use the Jetboil to weld the hull of a ship on the high setting.

Yes it's expensive but a full pot boils in 100 seconds. The Jetboil gas is also not just gas but also works in high altitudes. If you just want a cuppa boil the water and pour it in the cup, boil a little extra and you have water left to rinse the cup afterwards and because of the fast boiling you need less gas.
Do you have a link for the adaptor that you used from the soto to the fuel can please
No sorry I don't. But you should be able to find in online!
What about a 12v kettle plugged into your bike for a cuppa 🤔
Yeah not sure about that one!
@@BikerBits I’ll give a few a go and let you know. I’ve seen those compact ones for camping that fold flat. That’s a win right there, space saved and coffee/tea and noodles etc sorted 🍺
I’m struggling to find out a 100% certified answer on this so perhaps you can help. Will the Svea run on unleaded petrol? The manual says not car gasoline but does say unleaded white gasoline. Now my mate thinks it’s an old manual and unleaded petrol is much cleaner these days. As a biker you are always gonna have access to petrol, you need it for the bloody bike, and you might be in the middle of some Moroccan desert for days on end and your not gonna get a gas canister. Totally agree for the beginner/newbie to go with gas, but those travelling further afield on longer adventures petrol makes more sense as you’re always gonna have plenty. I like the look of the Svea 123 as it looks bombproof, but if it won’t run nicely on petrol I’m gonna go with the Soto Muka instead. Any help would be appreciated - many thanks for England!
Sorry, don't know the answer to that. Would be great if it did 👍
@@BikerBits Ive messaged Optimus but haven't had a reply yet, will let you know if I do - thanks
As ex grunt just cook on Heximine tablets and Army stove easy not problem cost fuck all.😊
What a comedy of errors! Who drinks one cup of coffee?
If I was using the jetboil (and I wouldn't) with the cheap gas I'd put my cutlery, salt and pepper a bandana etc inside the jetboil when not in use to make use of that space, but I use the same set up as you even though i have the little alcohol stove and the firebox wood stove as well...
Do you sell the brew kit bags by themselves as i already have everything that comes inside the brew kit...
