Recently, I was asked what the weight "penalty" is inwards carrying the 1.8 L MSR Windburner vs. the 1.8 L Jetboil Sumo. Excellent question. I pick out both, as well as then I pulled out my scale, as well as I created the below tabular array of weights.
For amount reviews of the Windburner, delight see:
For a to a greater extent than comprehensive await at Integrated canister stoves, delight see:
For a await at the entire realm of Canister Stoves, delight see:

| An MSR Windburner warming up. |
Here's what I came upward with:
| MSR Windburner 1.8 L | Jetboil Sumo 1.8 L |
| Grams | Ounces | Grams | Ounces |
| Burner | 200 | 7.0 | 150 | 5.3 |
| Pot | 227 | 8.0 | 196 | 6.9 |
| Cozy | 71 | 2.5 | 53 | 1.9 |
| Lid | 20 | 0.7 | 24 | 0.9 |
| Bowl | 54 | 1.9 | 47 | 1.7 |
| Stand | 20 | 0.7 | 26 | 0.9 |
| TOTAL | 592 | 20.8 | 496 | 17.6 |
| Difference | | | 96 | 3.2 |
Basically, at to the lowest degree on my scale, there's a 3.2 ounce departure when a Windburner is compared to the Jetboil Sumo. OK, non as well as then good.

But in that place is a merchandise off here. The gain amongst the Windburner is air current proofness. Jetboils but aren't rattling practiced inwards wind. Take a practiced await at the ii videos at this link:
Wind Testing – Windburner vs. Jetboil.

| A Jetboil's oestrus exchanger is completely opened upward to the wind. |
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Windburner volition deed similar zero is happening inwards atmospheric condition that unopen a Jetboil down. Those 3 ounces instruct you lot a stove that volition piece of work inwards atmospheric condition inwards which a Jetboil won't. I
always bring a Windburner for desert hiking. It's ever freaking windy inwards the desert. The Windburner works; the Jetboil doesn't; screw the 3.2 ounces.

A Jetboil's oestrus exchanger is open. Wind tin blow inwards ane side as well as out the other.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Windburner's oestrus exchanger is enclosed. Air enters solely through the burner as well as exits solely through the vents. |
There are to a greater extent than or less "side" benefits that you're getting amongst the Windburner:
- A functional bowl of close 850 ml vs. a non terribly functional bowl of close 400 ml amongst the Sumo. The Sumo's bowl has notches cutting inwards the side (so it volition clip on to the bottom of the pot). Things tumble out through those notches.
- A snap tight lid that you lot tin pour amongst using solely ane hand.
- A handgrip that genuinely functions every bit a handle. A Jetboil's "handle" genuinely isn't.
 |
The 1.8 L Windburner has a rattling useful 850 ml bowl.
You tin variety of job the 1.8 L Jetboil's 400 ml pot protector every bit a bowl, but it's meliorate left at home. |
The higher upward side benefits are all good as well as fine, but if you lot don't demand the air current proofness, honestly, I intend the weight of a Windburner is difficult to justify.
 |
MSR Windburner radiant burner, left. Jetboil conventional burner, right.
The Windburner's burner is amazingly windproof, but it's heavy. |
When it is windy, the Windburner is your best friend ever. Even inwards moderate winds where people oft volition orbit stone walls or crawl behind to a greater extent than or less boulders to cook, yeah, those techniques work, but sometimes I'm but musical rhythm out as well as don't desire to screw amongst it. A Windburner cooks. Period. No screwing around. Wherever you lot plop your self down, that's where you lot cook.
 |
Cooking subsequently a like shooting fish in a barrel arrival inwards camp.
Sometimes, you lot but don't desire to screw around. |
So, there's a weight as well as features comparing betwixt the ii stoves. I promise you lot industrial plant life the postal service useful.
