Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System

Product Information

The Jetboil MicroMo and the Jetboil MiniMo share a lot of similarities. This is due to the fact that the MicroMo is what it sounds like – a micro version of the MiniMo. While they do have some differences, their design and construction are exactly the same. In fact, both have exactly the same pushbutton started, burner, baseplate attachment, and even control valve!

The Jetboil MicroMo has the same pot size as the Jetboil Zip, but its stove has more power, comes with a push-button igniter, and has a built-in pressure regular so it’s better for cold weather use. A pressure regular helps maintain a steady flow of fuel from a canister to the stove as the gas pressure in the canister drops. This occurs when the outside temperature falls or as the gas in the canister is used up. The MicroMo will still only burn canister gas down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but it will burn hotter and more forcefully than the unregulated Zip or Flash stoves until the pressure in the canister drops below the minimum pressure required by the stove to operate. The MicroMo is also designed to simmer, so you can cook things like scrambled eggs or pasta with cream sauce, although it’s easier to do this with the Jetboil MiniMo. Like the Zip, you can expect to get boil 12 liters of water with a 100 g fuel canister. But, if you’re on the hunt for a lighter option, the Jetboil MicroMo may serve your needs. This 12-ounce pot may be only 2.6 ounces lighter than the MiniMo’s 14.6 ounces – but when you’re on the trail, every ounce counts. Winner: Once more, between the Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo, the competition comes to a draw. Since these two systems share an identical FluxRing technology component, they heat water at the same speed. Price and Value

Accessories

The JetBoil MiniMo boasts the same proven, efficient technology for which Jetboil is so highly regarded with an innovative new valve design that gives it the finest simmer control of any upright canister system on the market. Its redesigned cooking cup gives you the perfect combination of size and optimized height, and coupled with the metal handles and low spoon angle it's very easy to eat from. Recently, this is considered the only major disadvantage of most Jetboil stoves - not just these two. Reaches a rolling boil in just over two minutes with half the fuel consumption of traditional systems THERMAREST & MSR: Sale! 30% Off all MSR Tents and Thermarest Sleeping Bags including the award-winning Parsec 0!

Even though the MSR Windburner is slightly heavier and bigger with harder simmer control compared to Jetboil Micromo, I would think that its fuel-efficient design and sturdy composition is well worth its price to put into use through long years. Metal handles and redesigned FluxRing cooking cup optimized for a low spoon angle are perfect for personal cooking and eating

However, here, size does play a part. Although these systems share the same design and starter, the Jetboil MiniMo has a slightly wider, angled base on the pot. On the other hand, the Jetboil MicroMo has a straight up-and-down design at the base. This means that, in very windy or cold conditions, the MicroMo may not function as well. An additional advantage canister fuels have over liquids is that they don’t require priming, preheating or pumping!If you prefer using these canisters, make sure you read my post about the things you should know about butane canisters as a hiker , though.
