MSR Windburner all day. At altitude in the wind the MSR is very reliable... Jetboil has a piezo ignition that is worthless. As for the lighters i always just put a mini bic lighter in the kit and in a pinch a fire steel spark will light either one. Thanks
Can't agree with you. I have been using Jetboil MiniMo Stove with piezo ignition since 2014! It is super awesome feature that makes it very simple to use. No need to bring extra lighter.
@@okvorb You won't be using any jetboil above 9000ft (3000 meters) and/or in high wind conditions. The Windburner excels in that environment. One should always have with them 2-3 ways to make a fire and a mini-bic lighter takes up no space.
Windburner is clearly faster, but for the price difference so it should be, dont understand why it doesn't have a piezo, not that there the most reliable things, but still. I'll stick with the JB flash
very good review , but the jet boil also has the sumo pot which is 1.8 lt which does fit the flash burner, just to give you a idea of which jet boil to buy for your backpacking trips
we camp above 9000 ft and the MSR works every time for us. Cant go wrong with MSR
In harsh New England winter weather including a blizzard the MSR didn’t even blink, while my friends stoves can’t stay lit.

Agree. A lighter should be carried, as you can never fully trust your piezo ignition.

Great review. Thank you!
I don’t use the fuel support stands either but do have and have used the metal accessory one for MAR snd it is good
Thanks - great reviews of both - BIG help in my decision process!
Which one did you choose at the end?
@@TheAdventureJunkies Jetboil!!
Love your review of these 2 stoves. I do like the wind burner. Do you have to use only iso butane or can you use a different type fuel?

Great point. Thanks for bringing it up!
I've got an MSR reactor - it's a beast and it beats the Jetboil Flash hands down in cold or windy condition. More expensive but much more trustworthy.
We will look into the Reactor at some point and do a full-on review on it.
Appreciate your review!
Glad it was helpful!
great review! ❤❤❤
Glad you liked it!
No piezo, no purchase. Jetboil ordered 🎉
Really poor review by someone who is clueless about using stoves.
