Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
First used this stove for backpacking in Yosemite NP late April 2013. At ~5000 feet it boiled water very quickly. Apparently JB are underlining the fact that the stove is only for boiling by having changed the flame control valve to on or off, e.g., no matter how much I attempted to regulate the flame with the valve, there was no effect. No worries, if I want to simmer food on a trip, I'll just take a stove that works for that. Using the JB fuel cartridge, 19 cup-boils (19 cups of water boiled, 1 or 2 at a time) used 58G (58% of the contents of the small canister) of fuel. My other stove uses the twice as big canister for 21 cup-boils.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
Very disappointed. My stove came with a complete stove kit, which was great! It included a cannister stabilizer, a pot support accessory, and a burner of course, all stored in the pot. But to my dismay, was disappointed that the pot is just a wee bit too short in height to also accomodate a small JetBoil fuel cannister as well, a real design blunder. Just 1/4-inch more in pot height would allow the stove kit, including a small JetBoil fuel cannister, to be carried in the pot, with the included pot lid snapped in place. Instead, users will need to pack his or her fuel cannister separately. Half the pot will be empty space. I was hoping for better efficiency.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
I bought one for myself years ago and have loved it so much I got this one as a gift for friends. It's never failed to light and perform exactly as I've expected, it packs up really well and is lightweight for what you get. Obviously it's not the lightest weight or 'most' minimal option, but I think the weight and bulk are worth it for the features - it's neither heavy nor bulky for what you get.
If I could change anything, I would modify the sleeve handle that they put on it, it doesn't provide a stable way to pick it up, you're better off just picking the thing up by grabbing it. I would also change the base, it's not unstable, it's just not AS stable as it could be, for example if it had little titanium spikes or something to stab into the ground.

boils 16oz of water in under 2 minutes, it all breaks down and fits into the cup too.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
This was to replace my other Jetboil Sol Ti when the flux ring started to seperate from the pot base. It appears that this is a common issue with Jetboil Ti pots. Now they make it a point that the Ti models (Sol and Sumo) are for boiling water only, while the Alumimium models can be used for more versital cooking. This was not the case when I first got the Sol Ti and it had instructions how to use it to cook and melt snow right on the cozy.
Jetboil also beafed up the cozy to give it more stability and usability. Good in some respects, as the old cozy was right on the edge of usability, but it does add a little weight.
It is still a very good light weight solution and the lightest solution Jetboil has, though with the new limitation to boil only with the Ti model, and the slightly heavier cozy weight, the weight difference between the Sol Al and Sol Ti is narrower then ever making the Sol Al a more attractive alterantive then it has been in the past.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
Just made mac&cheese and hot chocolate for two of us near 12,000' skiing on top of Mary Jane. Very lightweight in my tiny backpack, lit up with just a couple of clicks and boiled water faster than I needed it. Sure beats waiting in line for over priced food and crowded tables. The cozy was perfect, I would not want it any heavier. It was in the upper teens and about 5-7 knots of wind. I was a bit worried about it not lighting, but it did great. I think people that had problems with the Ti cup did not understand that this is designed for boiling ONLY water. I am glad it is built the way it is, I prefer the light weight. I usually use this for backpacking but I seem to be using it every where now.

This stove is the best stove that I have used so far. The Sol ti can only boil water this is not a big issue for me but some people might see it other wise. The cozy is very nice and is solid. The cozy has Velcro straps that help keep it on. The stove its self works great. The boil times are crazy fast. Have used is in cold weather with no issues. The handle is also great. Looking forward to many years with this stove.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
This stove is for boiling water. Fast. It is not a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops.
A flimsy nylon handle is not going to support a liter of water. Just grab the cup and pour. This is a minimalist piece of gear. It is designed with a very specific use in mind. As with any specialized piece of gear it will have distinct limitations. You need to understand that going into it. Understand your needs and the capabilities of the gear in relation to your needs.
Personally, I love this stove. For boiling water. Nothing else. I have a number of other JetBoil (and MSR, SnowPeak) products that supplement this depending on my needs on a particular trip. Unless you have very limited needs this will NOT be your only stove system.
Smile and enjoy!

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
My wife purchased the original jetboil pcs for me as an xmas gift when they first came out and it's been my go to stove in all but high altitude conditions.. she knew my old stove was on it's last legs and saw me lusting after the new version.. short story.. she bought it for me, I used it one night during a relay race, the lid and base are both made of very thin cheap plastic and broke just sitting in a gym bag. The mug itself doesn't feel "right" and the sleeve is a thin piece of garbage.
The best part of this stove is the actual stove/burner assembly. I'm thinking of just using this stove assembly with my old stove.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
Tried to heat some sauce. part of flux ring melted and fell of. Saw the piece on the ground, wondered what it was and picked it up. Bad idea. Burned the heck out of finger. Sent stove back to jetboil. They said you can only boil water in this unit. What good is a stove you can't cook in.
Do not buy this stove with titanium pot.
