Reddit mentions of Jetboil Jetpower 4-Season Fuel Blend, 100 Gram

Lol, OP you beat me to it! I discussed this *here the other day and then because data is king I put it all in a spreadsheet. *Edit: Data' in the original post was completely shooting from the hip. Actual measured weights and volumes are contained in the spreadsheet below.

Here is the TL;DR: Alcohol stoves are efficient up to 4 days, after that the fuel becomes much heavier. If you take a half/used gas canister then alcohol effectively has no advantage at all. This is easily shown in the graphs presented here:

Because alcohol as UL has been ingrained so long, there are some holdouts who might not believe it, but the data is here.

My write-up:

> Alcohol has been the go-to choice for ULers for just about as long as UL has been a philosophy. When comparing stove systems many have for years bemoaned the extra weight penalty that gas canisters impose on hikers and turned their nose up at the idea that gas could be considered "ultralight".
>
> Review sites in the past have typically taken a popular gas stove and pitted it against the lightest alcohol stoves available. For many people this is a cat can stove, aka fan Fancee Feest (Fancy Feast) stove made popular by Andrew Skurka in 2011. It's cheap, light, easy to make, and takes up virtually no space in a pack. As we'll see here, however, the gap between both systems has pretty much come to an end.
>
> I own both a homemade FF cat stove, Jetboil Flash, and most recently, the BRS-3000T. As things go this type of comparison between stoves has occurred and been documented a few times in the past, but more often than not testers/reviewers were not using the lightest gas stove available. In our case, this is the 25g BRS-3000T.
>
> I have put together actual data collected using both the Fancy Feast stove and the BRS stove. The weights I use for fuel are the average from 6 burns on each system. The fuel used for the cat can stove is Klean-Strip Green Denatured Alcohol and for the BRS is Jetboil Jetpower (100g)

> All data is based on boiling two cups of water, twice per day. Two meals basically. The spreadsheet is downloadable/editable to add your own alcohol stove and compare weight savings.

REI usually has them for like $5-6
I tried to find the link but they're not available on their website... Have to go in to the store to find them... here's an Amazon link for 3x the cost.

I was dead-set on a JetBoil MiniMo. Walked into REI with a more experienced buddy and we put this setup together...its smaller and lighter than a mini-mo and way more flexible for the future:
