Ok so I am going to buy a Jet Boil and I think my choice is the Sol model but if I save the thirty quid and go for the Zip model will I regret it and why?

 

The only difference I can see is for the thirty quid I get a piezo ingnition:confused1:

Kelly Kettle's got soul cause it runs on coal (or small sticks but that didn't rhyme with soul )

 

Seriously, it's Kelly Kettle or nothing.

Kelly kettle take such a long time to boil though, jet boil is so much faster.

Get the zip. 50p for a lighter which fits nicely in a little pocket on the outside, leaving you £29.50 to spend on cuppa soups.

I don't see much difference between a reliable lighter and a piezo. Except the latter will get the stove lit no matter the wind strength. FR Jones do seem to be the best price, if you can bundle other stuff to make their free delivery.

 

As for saving the thirty quid. Spend £22 of it on the hanging attachment. If you're on flat ground you won't need it. If you're on a steep slope of dangling in a hammock on a lazy morning, (not saying you'd be having a lazy morning (or that you might me in a hammock)) but you might be dangling, (no matron jokes please) then it could be useful.

MSR pocket rocket (the set with the titanium kettle) more compact than a jet boil, but if space isn't an issue I'd get an MSR stove with a fuel bottle, then you can get a proper pan on the go.

What's wrong with the Stanley flask, fill it and save faffing during the day.

Assuming your using the jetboik at work...
