By Ranked #497 - Canister Stoves August 25, 2009

two questions, first off, about how long will the fuel canister last for the jetboil system? i need it to last at least 2 weeks for a trip, probably using it every morning and night at least once; and two, does the cup that comes with the package have a measuring system?

My husband and I spent 7 days in the Yosemite backcountry and still had a fuel left over from one (shared) 100g canister. We averaged boiling 5 - 6 cups of water/day between the both of us. Jetboil claims a 100g canister will boil 12 liters of water (50 Cups) but to plan 10 liters (42 cups) to be on the safe side. I would not take any more than 2 100g canisters. You could probaly get by with one but the extra would provide safe play; we like to prepare for the possiblity of a fuel leak (which have NEVER happened, by the way). Good luck.
