Thinking about buying a backpacking stove this year. I've been looking at JetBoils, specifically the Sumo (not totally convinced I'd need the extra room over a flash). The only thing that bothers me is the weight compared to other stoves (and price compared to other stoves, to a lesser extent).
While weight isn't a huge issue right now, I'd like to buy one so that when weight does become an issue I'm set and familiar with it. I'd consider buying another if the time came but trying to avoid that if possible.
I know the big advantages of JetBoils are the quick boil time and how good it works in the wind. Neither one of those are really important issues to me, so it makes sense to look into cheaper and lighter options.
Just curious what everyone uses and what you like/don't like about it.
