The Jetboil Joule – Preview
I've been loaned a Jetboil Joule for the purposes of conducting a review. I haven't started the review procedure only yet (I'm withal working on the novel MSR Windboiler), but I idea I'd ship service around photos too brand a few remarks.
The Jetboil Joule is a powerhouse of a stove, designed for snowfall melting too mutual frigidity weather. It's an inverted canister stove which gives it a twenty Fahrenheit aeroplane mutual frigidity weather condition wages over regular upright canister stoves. If you're non familiar with how too why an inverted canister stove confers a mutual frigidity weather condition wages on the user, delight read my article inward Seattle Backpackers Magazine, Stoves for Cold Weather II.
The Jetboil Line Up
So, first, how does the Jetboil Joule compare size wise to other Jetboils?
The Joule is quite frankly massive. It's a much bigger backpacking stove ready than whatever I tin intend of except mayhap a ii burner rig such every bit the Coleman Xpedition, but fifty-fifty the Coleman Xpedition doesn't accept upwards every bit much infinite inward one's pack.
It's fairly heavy also at 28 oz/790 g. That's over 3 quarters of a kilogram, which is fairly heavy for a stove, fifty-fifty an integrated stove arrangement similar the Joule.
But that weight too size may good hold upwards worth it if you've got around serious snowfall melting to do. It's really clearly targeting mountaineers too serious mutual frigidity weather condition travelers.
The Competition
How does the Joule compare to the competition? Well, the exclusively other integrated canister stove arrangement that has comparable capacity is the 2.5 L version of the MSR Reactor.
Also of depository fiscal establishment complaint is the acme of the stove when laid up. Here is the Joule, over again amongst the 2.5 L MSR Reactor.
The Jetboil Joule is every bit you lot tin see, a fairly tall laid up. I volition address arrangement stability inward my review.
Well, that's all for today; only a quick preview of the Jetboil Joule. More to follow.
