- Is the TrailCook good for solo backpacking?
- Not really. At 550 g it is roughly double the weight of Jetboil's personal systems, and 1.2 L is more capacity than one person needs. It makes more sense for two or more people.
- Can it simmer, or does it only boil?
- It simmers. The Precision Cook valve gives fine flame control, which is the main difference from Jetboil's fast-boil stoves.
- Does the regulator help in cold weather?
- Yes. The fuel regulator keeps output steady as the canister cools or empties, so performance drops less than with unregulated stoves.
- What fuel does it use?
- JetPower canisters, the same threaded isobutane-propane mix Jetboil uses across its line. A 100 g canister boils about 12 L of water.
- How many people does the 1.2 L pot serve?
- Comfortably two, and up to three or four for simple meals. Larger groups should bring a second pot or a bigger stove.
- Is a stabilizer included?
- Yes, a 27 g stabilizer comes with it and helps keep the pot steady on rough ground.
- Where is the Jetboil TrailCook 1.2L Camping Stove Sunset cheapest?
- At Backcountry, for $179.99, as of our latest check.
