Can the MiniMo actually simmer, or does it only boil?

It has a regulated valve with a low setting, so it simmers and holds low heat. That is its main advantage over Jetboil's simpler Flash and Zip models.

How does it compare with the Jetboil Flash?

The Flash boils faster and is lighter, but it lacks fine heat control. The MiniMo trades a little speed and weight for a wider, lower cup and true simmering.

How many people is it good for?

It suits one person cooking full meals, or two people boiling water and making simple food. A one-liter cup is tight for two full servings.

What comes in the box?

The stove, a 1-liter cooking cup with cozy and lid, a bottom cup that doubles as a bowl or measuring cup, and a fuel canister stabilizer tripod. Fuel is sold separately.

Does it work with standard fuel canisters?

Yes, it runs on standard isobutane-propane canisters. The included tripod stabilizer widens the base on uneven ground.

Is it worth it over a cheap canister stove?

If you only boil water, a basic stove is lighter and simpler. If you want regulated simmering, fast boils and a nesting kit, the MiniMo earns its weight.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat the MiniMo as one of the best regulated all-in-one backpacking stoves, praising its simmer control, fast boils and fuel economy. Common complaints are the weight and bulk against minimalist stoves, the small capacity for two, and occasional igniter or regulator issues.

Fuel usePraisedUsers say canisters last noticeably longer than with unregulated stoves.
Weight and bulkCriticisedBackpackers counting grams call it heavy and bulky next to a bare burner and separate pot.

About the Jetboil MiniMo Camping and Backpacking Stove Cooking System

The Jetboil MiniMo is a camping and backpacking stove cooking system with a fuel regulator for adjustable heat. The regulator runs from full boil to light simmer. A push-button igniter lights the stove.

The system includes a 1 liter FluxRing cook cup with an insulated metal handle and a cozy. The cup has a low wall design that gives a good spoon angle for eating right from the pot. The lid has a pour spout and strainer, and the bottom cup works as a measuring cup or a bowl.

The MiniMo boils 16 ounces (2 cups) of water in two minutes and fifteen seconds. It uses half the fuel of traditional systems. The whole system packs into the cook cup to save space and weight.
