I've had reports of some stoves from China where the pin on the stove was too short to open the valve on the adapter. Ensuring that the gas flow valve on the Jetboil stove is shut, thread the stove onto the Brunton Canister Stove Stand as you would with a regular gas canister. Bernzomatic QuickFire canisters contain MAPP gas which does have propane in it but also has a high percentage of propylene. My theory is that as the pre-heat tube on the stove heats up the fuel in that section it rapidly expands and creates a back pressure when running in liquid feed mode. I had to file the melted bit at home very patiently with a metal file, to make it smooth and flush with the rest of the plastic base so it would fit inside the cook pot again.

The heat travelling down the shunt will make sure the liquid fuel is vaporised before it gets to the jet. More for convenience sake since I don't use it that often so cost wise it would probably take a while to pay for itself but I already have an adapter for refilling 1lb bottles and my other stove/lantern/small bbq run off those.

But regardless of conditions it can make the “pop” sound but no spark is seen or the spark travels downwards from the base of the insulator where the electrode emerges to either ground itself on the drip tray or just disappear into the notch where the insulator pokes through the drip tray. We had a little bit of alcohol and could still heat water for morning coffee or simple meals needing little more than boiling water to prepare. In fact, I’ve managed to cook pancakes over a JetBoil by holding a pan about an inch above the flame but it’s a long time holding if you’re cooking pancakes for four! Some might use a canister-mounted stove rather than a remote stove, which is doable, but I recommend securing the canister in some fashion.

It was breakfast time and I was too lazy to get out of the tent and cook soggy pancakes in the rain, but I should have. It was super easy and I quickly found out that you have light the stove before mounting the cook pot on the burner–which by the way, can be a bit fiddly.A true ultra-light stove, this stove and heating plate is an all-in-one cooking set; there is no need for a trivet or pot stand. I have been in remote areas where the local outfitters are still trying to get zid of inventory from the 1980s and thus have the undesirable 3-season fuel that would be unpleasant in sub-freezing temperatures.
