I just bought one and it's very cute and good quality. There's a lot of talk we have to prepare in case of electricity sabotage etc and it's a good feeling to have this in case of emergency or if we have to flee
I just purchased a Minimo and this video was very helpful! Thank you for providing nothing but helpful info and not a bunch of "fluff". Straight to the point and educational!
I don’t have the minimo but a original Jetboil flash I’ve had it for the last 3-4 years and It lives in my EDC bag it’s fantastic I love my tea and coffee and being able to make it anywhere is priceless I got laughed at first time then on the car meets and home schooling activities people started to bring their travel mugs and extra water so I think I’ve converted a few people into get one to lol Great product very very useful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love it stealth camping and kayaking and love it in my Vw combi easy
Sorry for the stupid question after you screw the Jetboil to the gas canister and use it, can you unscrew the Jetboil from the gas canister and seal the gas canister for later use.
No such thing as a stupid question here, Hasan. The canisters have what is called a Lindal valve which, once removed from the stove, reseals. This means you can attach and remove the canister as much as you want, making it easy for transport. ~ Ben
The pot support can also be locked into place - as shown in the instruction booklet - by rotating the base of two of the four feet below the two indendation marks. This gives additional stability.
The 360 Degree stove is excellent, Brad, it might take a little longer to boil water than the Jetboil but it offers more versatility when it comes to cooking. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors I also have a 1950s vintage car coffee percolator that is new in box. It plugs into the cigarette lighter and can be mounted on your car window sill. It is way too cool ... and dangerous ... to use. But I'll always keep it for it's curiosity factor.
I like it, but the piezo ignitor is rubbish. I've watched all sorts of videos about how to fix it and nothing works. Has been a dud since I bought it and I have to carry a separate ignition around. I really wish they could improve that side of it.
Assuming you mean cooking food directly in the minimo and not heating it in a food grade pouch? If thats the case, ofcourse. The minimo is more suited to that due to the wider pot diameter and simmer control. The considerations would be to use a silicone or wooden utensil. Keep an eye on it and stir it regular for even heating and too prevent sticking. ~ Lauren
The pot support has a Lock and Unlock marking, I have not been able to figure out how it locks in place. In this video the presenter did not lock the pot support, can you direct me how to lock the pot support in place rather than just having it lay on the burner. Thanks!
It just requires a small twist to lock the pot onto the burner, Bernie. If you firstly just line up the lock/unlock marks then twist the pot and burner in opposite directions about 1cm, it should lock together. ~ Ben
Ive bought this in the past and agree that it is a very good product however the only thing i feel would be good to see is potentially a slightly more efficient burner, With it on full power and boiling 1L of water in about 8 minutes for a cast iron pot ontop of the burner without the coil definetly goes through gas very qucikly.
The burner is certainly made to be most efficient when used with the Fluxring pots, when used solely as a stove it won't quite meet the performance of other stoves. ~ Ben
You can just store it in your garage for next time, the cylinder is self-sealing so as you remove it the Lindl valve closes and retains the gas for another use. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors Thanks. I’ll order the Luna and a spare cup then. I wish the MiniMo cup was available separately. I absolutely love that orange jacket.
I dont get it. Why people measure time how fast it boils 🤦🏻 its quite irrelevant as those figures are indoors at 20 Celsius with no wind. Try it in -20 and you will have 5-7 minutes figures. So it all depends on conditions, gas used etc. Noone will use this to boil indoors and care about a minute or two. 30 boils out of 100g cartridge? More like 12-15 if you are lucky 🤣
It's something people look for to compare stoves. The tests are usually done in comparable conditions but we never suggest it would be the same in the real world given the number of variables. ~ Ben
You easy get 20 to 35 boils from it in any conditions, but it is flimsy and cheaply made, the pot adapter is a pain to use. I use a SOTO amicus, small titanium mug, and a pot, much. lighter, compact, versatile, cheaper and only about 10-15 seconds slower.
Great system and will be a last addition just as an extra option,esp at its hyped up price point! Biggest drawback to this system is that IF your burner breaks or malfunctions in any way….your screwed!! Can’t put the jetboil cup in an open flame if you had no other choice….so,an MSR pocket rocket w the MSR low down adapter you better off and $80 less!
The burner assembly is available as a spare part, @Brian...there are a few places that stock them & I know of a few customers who've lost or broken them, and had no issues. Hope that helps. ~ Lauren
@@brian1674 No problems!! We can agree to disagree here, I absolutely love mine - goes everywhere with me & I use it all the time, even at home! Glad the pocket rocket & low down works for you, its great there are so many different options on the market to suit peoples varying needs. ~ Lauren
I just bought one and it's very cute and good quality. There's a lot of talk we have to prepare in case of electricity sabotage etc and it's a good feeling to have this in case of emergency or if we have to flee
I have the larger version of this and I wouldn't camp without it, highly recommend. All jetboil products work well.
Yeah, handy bit of kit for any outdoor adventure. ~ Ben
This is the large one. What one is bigger?
Snowys vids are always fun to watch ESPECIALLY when Lauren's at the Helm😊😊😁😁☺👍
Thanks mate! Appreciate it

Excellent presentation, all very clear, thanks
No worries!

Great presentation Lauren, really clear and useful tips
Happy to help!

Just sold me one. Awesome training video.
I'm glad it was useful, Ben. ~ Ben
This was a brilliant intro. Thanks
No worries!

A roadside coffee is a perfect use case for the Jetboil, glad you've converted a few people. ~ Ben

You're welcome, David. ~ Ben
Excellent review thanks
No worries @Islander Outdoors!

Awesome thank you made it easy for initial set up 🤙
Happy to help!

Yeah, it locks into place easily, it's a good idea to do this whenever using the pot support. ~ Ben
Such a good bit of kit & best $ from Snowys :)
Thanks for the kudos, Neil. ~ Ben
This video was great!
Cheers!
~ Lauren
Love these! Definitely will invest in one.
They are an awesome solo cooking system. ~ Ben
Excellent tutorial well done 👍
Thanks, Brian. ~ Ben
Nice. I have a little 360 kit that I think you folks also stock. I do like the Jetboil design though. Very compact and versatile.

Have you been in touch with Jetboil directly about this? They may be able to help. ~ Ben
Thank you wo much, everything I would want to know. - Awesome.
No worries, Doug!
~ Lauren
Just got one… good but i find it difficult to remove the pot/cup from the base/burner. I’m not a wimp, it gets really stuck.
I find that it can get abit stiff in certain weather conditions, but havent found it to get stuck per say.
~ Lauren
Can you use any skillet 🍳 with the Minimo
Yep, as long as it is stable on top of the stove then you can use any skillet suitable for a gas stove. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors , Thanks so much!!
Can you fit the Offgrid pouches into the MiniMo?
You can, but only half of it will be submerged - not the best combo
~ Lauren
Excellent review this looks a great piece of kit. I’m Definitely going order one 👍
Jetboil make great stoves, the MiniMo is no exception. ~ Ben
Does the gas-cannister fit inside the unit or do you need to carry it seperately?
You can carry one of the small 100g cannisters in the cup with the burner - any other size needs to be carried separately.
~ Lauren
Can I insert ready made meals such as chicken and rice and cook that way on a weekly bases or is it strictly just for water?
Assuming you mean cooking food directly in the minimo and not heating it in a food grade pouch?
If thats the case, ofcourse. The minimo is more suited to that due to the wider pot diameter and simmer control.
The considerations would be to use a silicone or wooden utensil. Keep an eye on it and stir it regular for even heating and too prevent sticking.

@@SnowysOutdoors I see the Lock/Unlock marks on the pot support piece, but it's not clear what I'm aligning this with on the burner.
@@berniehillier9399 if you fold the four pot supports out, put it on the burner in any position and turn it clockwise, it will lock into place. ~ Ben

Idk if this is a dumb question but once I'm done cooking what do I do with the left over propane? How do I store it to use later
You can just store it in your garage for next time, the cylinder is self-sealing so as you remove it the Lindl valve closes and retains the gas for another use. ~ Ben
Nice🎉🎉
🎉
Bit pricey but seems worthed
Agreed, but I use mine all the time in loads of different situations.
Definitely a good investment.
~ Lauren
@@SnowysOutdoors im so excited to get one
Can the burner also be fueled via jetlink cable from the Genesis system?
No, that won't work, TJay6, on account of the fittings and orientation. ~ Ben
