I should see how long the 3000 takes, it can't be much more than that.If you just want to boil water fast, Jetboil Flash claims 100 second boil time for 2 cups of water.
WOW a lot of response for the Stove.Looking for recommendations on a stove like a jet boil set up. It does not have to be super lite. it will not be used solely for backpacking and hunting
Thanks

I know he's not everyone's favorite guy but he does use a lot of gear and there is some merit in this video. I gave the MSR Pocket Rocket and the titanium cup a try this fall and my only complaint is they don't lock together like the Jet Boils and the MSR Reactor. Otherwise, it's a great lightweight set up; I'm always in wet or snowy environments so I always have at least 2 lighters on me so that's never been an issue.
I went on a 3 night back pack hunt with a buddy. We only used one stove and never used up a whole can of fuel, boiling water for 2 meals each a day.How long do the canisters last on these light stoves?
I have a biolight and it works OK for boiling or cooking but since it uses wood it takes longer to boil/cook, it definitely isn't light compared to some of the ultra light fuel stoves but you don't need to carry any fuel either
With my BSR-3000 I generally figured a 110gr canister was good for 2 people for 4 days, but you can stretch it past that. I went on a 4 day trip with 3 people and someone forgot their fuel. We ran out on the last morning before the last person got their coffee. That was with hot meals every night, coffee every morning, and one or two hot breakfasts each. I haven't emptied a canister on one trip with my Windmaster yet. My longest trips have been 2 people for 3 days and 6 days solo.How long do the canisters last on these light stoves?

Yeah I almost added that part in but it seems that's usually the case with most big companies. I'll never buy anything from them again though I can tell you that.And you have to figure out what company is anti hunting!
When does altitude/cold start affecting lighting and burn on these canisters ?With my BSR-3000 I generally figured a 110gr canister was good for 2 people for 4 days, but you can stretch it past that.

A 110gr canister weighs about 7.5oz full, so a stove plus a week of fuel for 1 person comes in around 8.5-10oz depending on the stove. Bigger canister are more efficient weight wise, so for longer trips/more people carrying one 220 (13oz full) or 450gr (24oz full) canister will help reduce the total weight.
