picked this jetboil minimo up for like 85 on one of those flash deals a couple weeks back, figured id test it out on a quick overnight in sedona. boiled water for my coffee and some oatmeal in under two minutes even with the wind kicking up, pretty impressed. only thing is the igniter feels a little iffy after a few uses, anyone else notice that or am i just being picky?

yeah i grabbed one for 79 during that same flash sale and it paid for itself after two weekend trips already. the wind in sedona didnt slow mine down much either but i still pack the windscreen just in case. paid full price for my old one years ago and this feels like the same stove for half the hit, totally worth it over the bigger models if youre not feeding a group

i was kinda skeptical about these after reading some mixed takes on wind performance but man after borrowing my buddies for a windy trip last fall i caved and grabbed one. the flame stayed rock solid even when gusts were whipping around the red rocks, boiled way faster than i expected. support swapped a finicky igniter on mine no hassle and now id actually buy another for the truck kit.
