Jetboil Stash Beta?

Caveat…

I only use a stove to boil water for rehydrating homemade freezer bag meals and for coffee. No extended boil times or simmering necessary…

I backpack mostly in the High Sierra and never at temps where I would be boiling at temps under about 30 degrees.

Instead if the PocketRocket Deluxe, you might consider the Soto Amicus or Soto WindMaster (3 Flex) both are well rated in the wind.  MSR copied the PocketRocket Deluxe design from Soto.  My 2 cents.

I’ve used both the windmaster and PRdeluxe

I think they’re pretty equivalent, either is good

The piezo failed on the PRDeluxe.  Unscrew the burner and reinsert wire to get it working again.  Once, it just wouldn’t work, but then started working again, maybe there was some object in sparker that then got dislodged.

The way the pot stand connects to the burner on the Windmaster is poor.  The metal is in the flame so it degrades over time.  It would be better to attach down below out of flame.  But the windmaster connection is simpler so maybe that’s okay.  It’s taken many many nights for the metal to degrade but it’s only aesthetic so far, hasn’t actually failed.  I use it a lot so maybe this wouldn’t be a problem for most users.

Sorry guys and gals…should have done a better search first.

Great thread on BPL here about the Stash and I will follow that one closely.
