Let us know what you find.. For the price you can't complain yet!! :-\Bryce said:Mine showed up the other day. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I'll do a comparison to my son's jetboil. It looks decent. I think the jet boil is probably a bit better made, but not enough better for the price. I think I'll do a side by side comparison of parts and boiling times.

The Apex is a good stove I modified it to run on White gas, Isobutane and propane.. Did away with the old Coleman pump that was falling apart.Bryce said:I did a side by side comparison today of my old Coleman Peak1 Apex, MSR Whisperlight Internationale, JetBoil Flash and the Knock Off.
I still like my Peak1 Apex for the ease of starting and adjustability. Boil time is longer.
The MSR is just a pain in the ass. Hard to start. It does boil slightly faster than the Coleman, but takes longer to get going because of the way the generator needs to be primed, where the Coleman dies not.
The JetBoil wins, but at a price. Built we'll, lights right up, boils fast, is compact, light and built well... but it's only good to boil.
The Knock off is larger than the JetBoil. It boils about as fast as the JetBoil. It's not built as well. But it's a 1/3 the price of the JetBoil.
For boiling, get the Knock Off. For cooking, I like my Antique Peak1 Apex (these haven't been made for 20 year though).

The 8oz will fit.. Start bottom up stand at the bottom..Davesax36 said:I ordered two of them. Took one out and boiled a full pot. It went fast enough for my needs, and should work out just fine. I wish it would hold the 8oz fuel can, but whatever. I'll just grab a 4oz one. I might swap this out for my whisperlite since it has the pan holder with it. I think for the price, it can't be beat.
I'm surprised at what you think of the MSR as I've had a Whisperlight for years and it's always performed like a champ on any fuel I've fed it.Bryce said:I did a side by side comparison today of my old Coleman Peak1 Apex, MSR Whisperlight Internationale, JetBoil Flash and the Knock Off.

Compared to the others, it's a pain in the ass to light. the Jet-Boil and the Knock-Off are instant on and the Coleman has a self priming generator (take a few seconds to heat up and get going, but light it once and go). Priming the MSR is what I dislike.Checkswrecks said:I'm surprised at what you think of the MSR as I've had a Whisperlight for years and it's always performed like a champ on any fuel I've fed it.
If your having issues priming the WL and you have enough being used at once to justify bringing one of these to prime them faster..Bryce said:Compared to the others, it's a pain in the ass to light. the Jet-Boil and the Knock-Off are instant on and the Coleman has a self priming generator (take a few seconds to heat up and get going, but light it once and go).

I'm on an 8 day canoeing expedition on the Boundary Waters in Atikokan with the Boy Scouts at Norther Tier at the end of this month, and we're stuck with Whisperlites because that's what they supply. I'm glad the boys will be doing all the cooking so I don't have to deal with it. I'll let my son practice with mine the week before we leave so he's the "expert" with it.
I never liked Piezo igniters..mbabc said:Used mine everyday on a two week trip up north. Worked great! Only issue was when I let the piezoelectric starter rotate out of the propane stream.
A+!
Sierra1 I understand what you mean. What is really ugly is watching this fat guy trying get up off the ground. I know a lot of the Beemer riders swear by the Kermit chair. They even make a wide model and it is made specifically for moto-touring.Sierra1 said:Yup, max weight is only 275lbs. That's 50lb under my weight. ) Could get ugly.
you mean <insert any small town, USA here> ?from the land of low waged 45hr work week labor.
More like specifically for GS riders right?They even make a wide model and it is made specifically for moto-touring.
