JetBoil MiniMo Cooking System with Pot Support

G'day John,

I assume by 'big box store' you mean Kmart or the like. The Campmaster Ultralight Hiking Stove Ultra Jet 1 is much lower quality than the Jetboil. I can't find any information on its materials, however I would assume it would be less durable and therefore have a significantly reduced lifespan in comparison to the Jetboil. The high Jetboil price point is because it is a specialised piece of equipment designed for multiday hiking. It has a regulator and simmer control which the Campmaster doesn't have, and which, as a hiker myself, I can definitely say is useful in cold conditions for preventing a burned meal at the end of a long day. A few other comparisons would be that the Jetboil is smaller (and thus likely lighter), which is usually preferable when hiking, and it has a greater maximum BTU output per burner (6000 as opposed to 4000 for the Campmaster). If you are only planning on using it in relatively mild conditions and only a few times, then the price diference might not be worth it for yourself, but the Jetboil is definitely a much higher quality piece of equipment all round. Hope that helps!

G'day Tim,

The MiniMo is the better option if you're wanting to do any kind of cooking due to its regulator and simmer control.
The flash is ultimately designed for fast and high heat, so suitable for rapid boiling of water.

G'day John,

It definitely can, you'll just need to make sure you are using a high quality gas blend such as Jetboil or MSR.

G'day Rick,

I think we show this in our product review video, but it may not be obvious!
The capacity is 1L but it's recommended not to boil more than 0.7L at a time to account for the water bubbling over.

G'day Pia,

Unfortunately not through Jetboil Australia.
There was something called the Jetboil Companion Cup for a while, but they are now discontinued.
Some retailers do still have stock, but you'd have to hit Google to try and track one down.
The Companion Cup - Short is the one compatible with the SUmo/MiniMo burner.
Hope that helps.

G'day Nicole,

If you want to do anything other than boil water, the MiniMo is the best bet.  It has a wider base for better heat distribution and allows for easy stiring.  The Flash is narrower and taller, so is less favourable for food preparation.
The MiniMo also simmers, so combined with that and that ability to stir your food, you shouldnt have things sticking to the bottom.

G'day Hayden,

The MiniMo packs a fair amount of concentrated heat, so while we think it should be ok, there may be some risk of melting the soup pouch if they're resting against the pot. It's hard to say sorry.

G'day Chris,

You'll need the 100g size if you're wanting to fit the burner and the canister in the cup. You can fit a 230g canister in the cup if you leave the burner on the base of the unit, however the lower cap won't fit over the burner, so we'd recommend sticking to the 100g size.

G'day Kathryn,

We've got the Jetboil Stash on our radar, so hopefully we'll get some in soon and get them up online.

G'day Eve,

It really comes down to personal preference, however, the more popular combination seems to be a flash for solo trips, with the addition of the cooking pot for group cooking. The MiniMo will essentially do both jobs, however, it does have a higher heat output, which will likely be trickier for cooking food from scratch options.

We currently only have the black version available in Australia sorry, Huw. There are a number of products available on the US Jetboil site that we do not have here. 

G'day Samuel,

Yes, we have the most recent version of the MiniMo currently available in Australia.

G'day Rob,

I've checked with some of our staff who use the jetboil regularly and from their experience, the jet boil is great for boiling water and other foods which contain a fair amount of liquid. The intensity of heat the flame produces(even with the simmer control) will tend to cook 'drier' foods such as eggs or bacon too quickly and burn them and destroy the pot. The pot support with a frypan or saucepan will enable you to cook 'drier' foods at a slower pace and save the pot for liquids.

G'day Therese,

The Grande Coffee Press is the one you'd be after for use with the MiniMo and Sumo model Jetboils.  Hope that helps!

G'day Dick,

I've just double checked and the MiniMo and Sumo are the same diameter so the burners are interchangeable.

G'day Robert,

That's correct! I've just double checked with the stock we have in store and can confirm the curved metal handle of the JetBoil MiniMo Stove & Pot Support does fold flat against the side of the pot. 

G'day Dan,

We generally wouldn't recommend cooking food directly in the Jetboil MiniMo. The high heat is great for quickly boiling water to pour into freeze-dried meals, but cooking rice in this will inevitably lead to caked on rice that's very hard to get off. Luckily Back Country make Instant Rice that just needs boiling water added to the sachet.

G'day Tracey,

The cup capacity of the JetBoil MiniMo Stove & Pot Support is 1L. The Boil time of 2.15mins refers to 500ml say for when you're making a couple of cups of tea. The boil time for 1L is closer to 4.5 minutes.

G'day Bianca,

The JetBoil MiniMo is currently supplied with the pot support, but the Grande Coffee Press is available to purchase separately. The Hanging Kit is not currently available for purchase in Australia, so you might need to order one in from an overseas website.

G'day Stephen,

I've had a quick look into this for you. The only changes are the colour is now 'carbon' and doesn't have the silhouettes of trees on it anymore, and the pot support is now included in the package. But the stove itself is unchanged mate. 

G'day Jill,

There's been some conflicting information about this going around as Jetboil was including it, then not, now they are again. So to be really clear for everyone reading Jills question, the Jetboil MiniMo is currently being supplied with a Pot Support included.

G'day John,

I'm sorry you were given the wrong information there.
I can confirm that the MiniMo definitely comes with pot support as the name suggests.
Thanks for letting us know, and we'll follow it up with the team.
