Burn Time - Summer at Altitude
Hold the Anchovies
3 years ago
The REI salesperson said that the 8 oz canister has a 3-hour burn time. I doubt this is correct for my application, My experience was about 10 minutes/day (total) for 7 days = 70 minutes. Possibly 3 hours on a very low setting. I used this with an original Jetboil stove on an 8 day trip (7 full days of stove use). Summer trip (34-72 degrees ambient temperature range at breakfast/dinner) at 7,600-8,900 ft elevation. For 2 people, we boiled 0.4-0.5 L in the morning, and 0.5-0.8 L in the evenings. The 8 ounce canister lasted the fill 7 days ...but the pressure was getting low. Note: I did not try to warm the canister to increase pressure. The "float" gauge printed on the side of the canister was helpful, but was difficult to determine when the fuel was getting low. So (for 2 people) using a Jetboil: 3-4 day weekend trip use the small canister. Week trip =8 oz, Longer or larger group = 8 oz.

Jetboil 8 oz canister made 28 pots of coffee and this one made 18. Price is the same. REI needs to lower the price, warn buyers or dump this very inferior product.

Seems to last forever ?!??!

2 years ago

One can, have gone camping two weekends, two people. Daily making coffee, oatmeal, noodles. haven't taken the times of cooking, since they say it can last up to 3hrs under certain conditions. I think i'm already at 2 hours with my first can. I have another one ready but this one just won't quit lol Using it with an MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove, morning was around 12 Celsius when making breakfast. It's small and fits nice inside my cooking pot, which fits nicely in my backpack.

My husband and I bought both the 4 ounce and 8 ounce fuel cannisters to go with our new MSR Micro Rocket for backpacking. We used the 4 ounce first, thinking that it would not last through many meals, however it allowed us to heat up our water for freeze-dried meals 8 separate times and still has some left! The last 2 times were in 19 degree snowy mountains, and the cold still did not affect our isopro's ability to boil water efficiently. One of the biggest perks is that the 4 ounce cannister fits nicely inside of GSI Pinnacle Dualist pot and pan set so it does not take up extra space in my pack. I would absolutely recommend this product.

A Necessity

These are affordable and do the job well, but I wish there was an in-store recycling program for the canisters.

great 4 season fuel

4 years ago

Have been using this 100g fuel on our weekend snow trips to the mountains at freezing or below with zero issues. My water boils just as quickly and was even able to cook 3+ meals back to back in freezing cold temps. I am still on my 1st tank after about 45min run time with still about a quarter tank left! Very efficient.

Worked in freezing temperatures

7 years ago

I was backpacking at Crater Lake, Oregon. The temperature dropped into low 20Fs. My footwear failed and I needed to get some hot broth into me to get my temperature up. I was using a Gigapower as the retailer told me they were equivalent a few years back when there was a slight difference in price with MSR being more expensive (less than a dollar). My friend had the MSR canister. I've used Gigapower for the last couple of years in hot and near freezing temperatures and not had any problem. However, in the low 20Fs, my fuel would not stay lit. So, for dinner and breakfast, we had to rely on my friend's MSR fuel.

Lasts forever

I bought two of the 8 oz canisters for a 2 person 5 day camping trip. I used only one with my Soto Amicus to cook every meal. Coffee every morning, sometimes oatmeal, lunch, and dinner. I made a standard box of Mac n cheese with it twice. Plus I warmed water for my dog’s food twice a day. It’s just under half full

This summer my wife and I traveled in our minivan ( camper van ) from Ontario to the Yukon. On the trip we lived out of our van for three weeks. Every morning I made coffee and then oat meal using the MSR pocket rocket with the IsoPro fuel. I brought two large fuel containers, After two weeks I realized I only need to bring one. I still had enough fuel to make coffee on two over night camping trips later on in the year. Great Product.
