Great but...

I have to give this stove props for being lightweight and efficent in normal conditions. The boiling time is great no doubt about it. My problem though has to do with its "4 seasons" in which I will call B.S. My trip to Owls Head NH came with some negative degree weather. I was told to take my recently bought Jet Boil instead of my MSR. Needless to say, my Jetboil performed horrible. It took about 30+ minutes for my snow to melt and become warm. My stove was not the only one to perform lack luster, as everyone in our group had a Jetboil. Needless to say, we only had enough light to cook our food and we did not have the time, energy, or light to wait for another boil to put in our Nalagens for warmth that night.
