Big fan of the jetboil, reliable, fast & very efficient on gas, If it's cold or at altitude I just chuck the gas canister in my sleeping bag at night

Shut up, get out & start pushing!
@LOC are you able to post some photos of your setup vs the jet boil for size comparison etc please.
Have been considering going the ti pot and cooker route. Currently have a jetboil flash, and while they're super convenient it's always nice to try new things
I got a firemaple ti cooker and a 750ml pot that the gas canister cooker and a light fit into it's a great light set up. I can take a photo later.

I had a Jetboil, great stove, so much faster than standard gas. I traded up to a MSR Windboiler, it seems like a more robust and more weather resistant model; although Shelley points out it doesn't have a built in igniter, you have to use a lighter.
Similar experience here. The jet boil igniter seemed to be a common failure point with online reviews which I felt evened out the pros/cons of each unit. The jet boil does allow you to light the burner with the flask in position. With the MSR you lose some efficiency between lighting the burner and replacing the pot on the heat. But this is negligible.
Neither is an über light option but that is the trade off between weight and efficiency. The jet boil and windburner excel at boiling water fast, but at the expense of portability and multifunction.
nice one, cheers Tahr
