BrewKit - AlpKit's version of the JetBoil?

[Paul_B]

It looks a bit heavy at 450g. IIRC primes version of these is about 100g lighter. Even jetboil is lighter I think.

Ordered mine when they came back into stock and should take delivery this week. Looking forward to having a play with it. If someone local to me has the jetboil it would be interesting to do a side by side comparison and review.

I'm unlikely to be out if its cold enough to really need the preheat tube (although they do the FMS 118 with one http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fire...le-Foldable-Burner-146g-2990W/1813765508.html ), but I think your right about the middle section - Fire Maples do seem to be a bit low (although the FM100 & 104 do seem a bit higher). If the Spider comes in at a good price (its around £40 on Ebay at the moment), it might be that or the FMS 121/FMS F2/5.

Thanks again for the help, and its very useful to have a review, not just a photo and some blurb!

Depends if your cooking with one. 5 minutes with a full cartridge, and the pressure drops to something the needle valve stoves can't handle, a half full one with nothing but butane and it starts off useless. A regulator on a pure butane cannister will work better,

I have to admit that I went for the Karrimor Alpine Stove in the end - its a rebadged FMS118 (not ti, although the blurb says it is, so your not getting Alpkits Kuro), and stupidly priced at £23 instore, plus about £3 for the windshield. Whats really odd is that Sports Direct charges more instore (which is a horrible consumer experience) than if you buy it online, even including P & P.

Now I smuggled that past the wife, I'm looking at the Alpkit Alipots....and the Brukit does look tempting!
