Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System

Product Information

Jetboil's proprietary regulator technology offers incremental heat adjustments from light simmer to full boil, perfect for sautéing greens, simmering sauces, and more Compatible with accessories include Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot BTU stands for British Thermal Unit and is used to measure the heat output of stoves and fuels. A single BTU is the heat required to raise 16 ounces of water one degree Fahrenheit. Isobutane canister camping stoves typically produce between 4000 and 11000 BTUs. The Jetboil MiniMo is similar to the MicroMo except that it has a larger and wider 1L cook pot that makes it easier to cook with. Besides that, it has the same built-in igniter, pressure regulator, stove, and simmer control as the MicroMo. If you plan on simmering food for 1 or 2 people, the MiniMo’s shape is much easier to cook with because the squat shape makes it easier to stir the contents with a spoon.

Wind Shield: This stove comes with a built-in windscreen, and I seriously cannot tell you how convenient it is. There have been several times when I’ve been camping and the winds have been raging, and I don’t have to worry about my flame going out because of JetBoil’s wind shield. Built-in Pot Cozy: Most JetBoil stoves come with a built-in pot cozy. This is basically just a sleeve of fabric that covers the pot. There are several benefits to this: it saves your hands when you touch your pot, but it also keeps the food inside the pot nice and warm. Igniter. Also called a Piezo-Igniter. Produces a spark to ignite your fuel without matches or a lighter. They tend to wear out with use but can be replaced on some stoves. Igniters are often left off basic models and included as a higher-end feature on canister stoves. Metal handles and redesigned FluxRing cooking cup optimized for a low spoon angle are perfect for personal cooking and eating Reaches a rolling boil in just over two minutes with half the fuel consumption of traditional systemsBut, 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.

On the other hand, the Jetboil MiniMo costs around the same price for a slightly larger cooking capacity. Like the MicroMo, it uses less fuel over time as a result of the fuel-saving functions of the FluxRing. It also has a one-year limited warranty in case of product malfunction or accidental damage.

Featured Collection

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. The Jetboil SUMO has the same features as the MiniMo, but with a 1.8L cook pot instead of a 1.0L one. It’s designed for couples or small groups, but is underpowered for that task, with the same 6000 BTU power stove as the MiniMo and MicroMo. While you can simmer with the SUMO, I’d recommend upgrading to the 10,000 BTU Jetboil MightyMo stove if you plan to cook for more than two people or want to use wider and higher capacity pots and pans for meal preparation. Fluxring. Also called Heat Exchange Coils or Fins. These are metal coils soldered to the base of a cooking pot to hold heat and transfer it to the cooking pot even when the stove has been turned off. They also provide wind protection and have the potential to reduce fuel requirements by 30%. The Jetboil MightyMo is a powerful but standalone isobutane canister stove with a 10,000 BTU output. This is useful if you want to boil a big pot of water fast for hungry scouts. The MightyMo can be used with third-party cook pots and skillets from other manufacturers although it is optimized for use with the giant Jetboil 5L Fluxring cook pot, the smaller Jetboil FluxRing 1.5L cook pot, and the FluxRing Frying Pan, which require less fuel to heat than conventional cooking pots.

They also don't expire or go bad - although the valve can start to deteriorate (probably would take almost decades though)... Regardless, you can think of investing in a Jetboil CrunchIt to ensure emptying the cans completely and making them recycling bin ready. Boiling Speed The Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo are nearly identical systems that use a lot of the same components. However, the Jetboil MiniMo is a slightly better option for three basic reasons: Lid and Handle: When I cook my food but I’m not ready to eat it, I know I can put the lid on it, and even if I trip over it while I’m setting up camp, my food won’t spill. I also use my stove to make overnight oats, so having a lid is a big plus, knowing that bugs won’t crawl inside while I’m sleeping.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. 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. Jetboil’s camping cooking systems integrate a cook pot and stove into a highly efficient cooking system that was easy-to-use, fast, and completely self-contained. Below, we explain how to choose between the different Jetboil cooking systems so you can find the one that best suits your needs and budget. Specs at a Glance Make / Model 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.
