In the summer I spend a fair amount of time on the road and that means eating out. And that means putting on lbs. So instead of that Bob Evans farmstead breakfast complete with biscuits and gravy (so good), I have opted for a jet boil and a bowl of my usual oats in my hotel room (don't tell).

I settled on the jet boil instead of one of my other stoves because I liked the "all-in-one" concept. Plus the flame seemed a bit more contained.

My initial impressions are less than wholehearted endorsement. Here are a few observations.......
I dislike that the simmer capability is somewhat marginal. As a result, when things need to be turned down lest they boil over you are at a disadvantage since your cooking "pot" is essentially mated to the flame. You can't just pick the pot up and remove the heat source. Hello boil over :P.

The other thing that is objectionable is that the pot is hard to remove until it cools a bit. That takes little time but it is a delay nonetheless. Perhaps with usage this issue will rectify itself.

The stove has its place and I will learn it but it is not the cats meow IMO. I am certainly open to being educated and you jet boil guys please weigh in  8-)
