Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System

Product Information

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.

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. 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. Push Button Ignition: A huge plus for JetBoil stoves for me is the push button igniter. Once you’ve attached your fuel canister to the bottom of the stove, you can simply press a button and voila, fire.

Due to the Jetboil MicroMo’s and MiniMo’s shared FluxRing technology, their pushbutton starters can light up in almost any weather conditions. Aside from the energy-efficiency of this design, the high walls and solid bottom of the baseplate protects your flame so that you can heat your soup no matter the wind. Not to mention, their starter works in temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Recently, this is considered the only major disadvantage of most Jetboil stoves - not just these two. 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

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%. 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. Compatible with accessories include Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot

Regulator. Also called a Stove Regulator. Stove regulators help ensure a constant flow of fuel to a stove even as the pressure inside a gas canister drops. This ensures constant performance and boiling times, even as the fuel contents of a gas canister are used up. Compatible accessories include a Grande Coffee Press, Hanging Kit, Utensils, Skillet and FluxRing Cooking Pot 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.

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. 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

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 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:

Featured Collection

Reaches a rolling boil in just over two minutes with half the fuel consumption of traditional systems Yes, there are faster boiling stoves out there but 2m 15sec is very good. But more importantly, the fast boiling system of stoves such as Jetboil Flash goes out the window then the perfect conditions are removed and some wind/cold weather is brought to the environment. 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. 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

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! Winner: When it comes to cooking and handling, it’s a tie between the Jetboil MicroMo and the Jetboil MiniMo. Both stoves come with a wide variety of the same excellent features – the only real difference here is the size of the pot! Fuel Efficiency 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. 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. Both MSR Windburner and Jetboil Micromo are great all-in-one stove systems. I have listed their prominent features in this article.

Jetboil's proprietary regulator technology offers incremental heat adjustments from light simmer to full boil, perfect for sautéing greens, simmering sauces, and more 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. Winner: Once again, the Jetboil MicroMo and MiniMo stoves tie for first place. Although the pots are different sizes, the fuel-efficient design each stove shares means that their fuel efficiency is the same when measured against same-size competitors. Versatility in Weather Conditions 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.
