Jet Boil Cooker
« on: September 20, 2012, 08:36:19 AM »
This is a compact billy, which I principally use for making a cuppa on the side of the road, or for cooking toast for breakfast.   It all packs away inside itself, and the design of the bottom of the "billy" means that almost all of the heat from the flame is directed into the heating pot, making it very fast indeed. The gas bottles last for ages.  There are a range of other accessories and pots that lock onto the burner as well but I won't bother with getting any of them.  There are smaller stoves around, but this is a complete unit and is quite compact.   They say that the green fitting on the bottom can be used as a cup, but as a cup it's useless.

The green neoprene cover and the lid stays on while it's heating, and the cover has a heat indicator built in, which turns bright yellow when it's almost boiling.   I can actually wrap my hands around the bottom of the unit when the burner is on, as almost no heat is escaping from that convoluted area on the bottom of the "billy" part.

Excellent - Where did you get it, and how much $$?

Rob, I paid about $130 from Snowy's here in Adelaide a couple of years ago, but they are also available through Anaconda.

Used to use Gas for ages until when it got cols at the Budgie rally out the back of Stanthorpe and the gas just didn't get hot enough to boil water. Got me a Whisperlite fuel stove and its just the best.
On Ebay they have the jet Boil for $135 delivered
