Seems to last forever ?!??!
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.
Burn Time - Summer at Altitude
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.
Long lasting
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.
Nope. Competitor's boiled 1.6x more than this one!
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.
great 4 season fuel
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.
For My Jetboil
These smaller IsoPro units are pretty straightforward. These days I mainly use with my backpackers stove. How well it lasts is dependent on your stove and my unit does well. Albeit, I'm only using it for boiling water or soup this year. 4 stars because value comes into play and it's not a good buy dollar-wise. I would also love to do a review on traditional liquid camp fuel AKA White gas, or Coleman gas. I was stunned that REI no longer carries this century plus-long mainstay of camping!! Seriously? A traditional stove utilizing liquid camp fuel is far more economical and lasts much longer. NOT a happy camper.
Worked in freezing temperatures
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
Easy to Store, Easy to Cook
I use the MSR Fuel Canister with the MSR Pocket Rocket. The canisters are cost effective and easy to use. Would recommend this to anyone.
