So I was sitting around after dropping the kids off at school this morning and thought I would do a little ultra light stove review. I compared a Jetboil Sol system, a MSR Pocket Rocket 2 with a Toaks 650 ml UL pot/lid, and a Out Smart (also known as a BRS 3000 T), titanium stove, coupled with the same Toaks pot. To try to compare these as much apples to apples as I could, I used a new, large 16 ounce fuel bottle, and turned each stove up to maximum. For comparing the weights of each system, I only weighed the bare minimum that would go into the field for the JB Sol. I’m sure I was off by a couple seconds, give or take, on boil times because I did this by myself and it was a little difficult to coordinate everything right down to the second but they all brought to a rolling boil, 16 ozs. of cold tap water, in approximately 2 min. 10 seconds. The JB used 5 grams of fuel, and the Out Smart and Pocket Rocket both used 9 grams. I think the JB was more fuel-efficient, both because of the pot design and the insulation around the pot.
Here are the weights for each system as they would go into the field.
Jetboil Sol.
MSR Pocket Rocket 2.
Out Smart/BRS 3000 T.
And here are a few size comparisons of each stove (same order).
Individual stove weights are as follows:
JB= 3.60 oz.
MSR= 2.55 oz.
BRS= 0.90 oz.
