Hi Joe. First off, let me disclose that I’m the guy that came up with the Jetboil pot riser disk. I sent one to Josh of Ruta Locura and told him he could use the design for his own purposes.
Now here’s the deal–Josh’s carbon fiber lid and pot riser disk will fit on all of the Jetboil pots, except for the two models that have a greater diameter (the MiniMo and the Sumo).
The lightest setup is a JB titanium Sol pot, with the BRS-3000T stove and Josh’s CF lid (there’s really no need to use his heat reflector disk, in my opinion). I made a custom cuben stuff sack for mine to keep everything together (because the lid doesn’t snap on). With a full 4 oz. fuel canister, the whole kit weighs 13.9 oz.
The MiniMo pot works well with the BRS-3000T stove, whereas the tall Sumo would be very unstable and requires one to use the JB stock burner. Finding a titanium Sol pot might be difficult, but there are still a few out there. I know that the aluminum Sol pots are somewhat more readily available. If you can find either one, it would be wise to jump on it, as they will soon be gone (and not be replaced by another smaller pot).
One option you might want to consider–if you can score a MiniMo on sale, it’s a worthy setup. The stove is remarkable for its simmering capability, but it’s a heavy sucker at 4.6 oz. The MiniMo pot is rather heavy as well, but it has a large enough capacity to melt snow for one person (for more than one, the much larger capacity Sumo is the pot of choice).
I have come up with a properly sized pot riser disk that fits the MiniMo and Sumo pots that I can make for you (or anyone else that might be interested in one). I can be reached at the following e-mail address:
