All my dinner meals are freezer bag cooking and hot water for my coffee in the morning so I keep my cook system real simple and light..... Toaks 550ml Titanium pot and a BRS2000 stove, my old system is a MSR Pocket Rocket with a Snow Peak titanium 650ml that I used many years and they always performed flawlessly as well.

Jetboil cuz I haven’t had to try anything else. Space, weight, and fuel efficiency are killer if temps aren’t crazy frigid. When they are I keep my fuel canister in a watchcap in the foot of my sleeping bag which works like a charm.

For boiling water for meals in a bag or coffee, MSR WindBurner is better than its Jetboil competitors. Lots of issues with Jetboils, too.

If you like to cook, MSR WindPro is hard to beat. It allows upside down canister placement and is super stable for even very substantial pots. Turns down to almost a flicker and cranks up to blow torch, and adjusts everywhere in between.

For a canister-top, space-saving stove, nothing beats the Soto OD-1RX WindMaster. It is #1 in the wind, #1 at altitude and #1 in cold weather of all these types of stoves. Soto also offers the Amicus, which is very reasonably priced and offers the OD-1RX’s wind performance but foregos the OD-1RX’s micro regulator for improved cold weather performance.

MSR will shortly introduce a new version, the Pocket Rocket Deluxe, that also has the cold-beating micro regulator and wind-beating concave burner technology pioneered by the Soto and will be that stove’s only competition. For now, the Soto OD-1RX WindMaster is the gold standard.

If you must boil lots of snow to make water or need to boil lots of water for many people, nothing beats the MSR Reactor. Hardcore mountaineers and extreme backcountry enthusiasts trust their lives to it.

Right now, I use the Soto OD-1RX WindMaster about 80% of the time. The MSR WindPro gets the rest of the duty sautéing up trout and mushrooms or frying up the bacon and eggs.

SOTO Windmaster will be my next stove, even though I don't have any complaints about my Kovea Supalight

Jetboil and bushbuddy when I don't care about the hassle or the time factor. Gotta say, that bushbuddy is one slick unit for burning sticks. Takes quite a bit longer to boil water but on extended backpacking trips in the summer it saves weight.

Just need to boil water, no simmering and cooking for me. For a lot of years I used a Sigg Firejet and really liked it until I couldn’t find any basic parts for it anymore. Since then been using MSR Whisperlite with no complaints at all other than having to protect from the wind, same as the Sigg firejet. I just recently bought an MSR Windburner and have used it a couple times and really like how fast, easy, and compact the setup is. Never tried a Jetboil but read as much as I could about it and the Windburner, and the Windburner seems to be preferred by those that have owned both, so that’s the route I went.

Santa is buying me a Pocket Rocket 2 for X-mas. Gonna hand my Snow Peak Lite Max down to my son. Handed Down my SP Giga Power w/piezo to my daughter 5 years ago. I like simple. I don't like extra parts and chit to loose(which I do often) smile. Plenty of folks really love the Jetboil. I'm rarely above 9000' so I'm pretty excited about the PR 2!

Huh .. I'm a fairly dedicated jetboil fan but this windburner sounds very worth looking into. Good info, thanks!

There's a reason posts like this have run 70% Jetboil for a number of years now.
