TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Aldi Jetboil clone

Maybe I should have got one to trial
Just passed up at $35- each at our local store.
A bit heavier than my usual stuff but maybe I should go back and get one to keep in the car?
A bit more compact then the butane picnic jobbie that sits in the wayback with the kettle and brew-up stuff
$35- isn't a great deal of money
Anybody here taken the plunge? Comments and feedback?

Anaconda also have a clone, at $55.
Given that the main feature that makes a jetboil so good is the flux ring, as long as it looks to be securely attached to the base I'd say there's stuff all that can go wrong. Esp for $35. You can save that in gas pretty quickly.

I have a friend who has the anaconda version. Campmaster I think it's called.
He's had it 3 years now and no issue.
Unlike it's much more expensive cousin, the ignition switch is still working after this time too. I don't think I'll pay near $300 for another jetboil if these are still at this price when mine gives up.

Maybe I'll go back and get one; even tho I don't really need any more stoves; I think I'm already at N+3
I don't think they have the stabilising base so maybe that is why they are so cheap

Nice but just before XMas I bought a HX kettle that works on both my little gas stoves and the XGK.
I'm going to give the ALDI unit a miss and keep using what I have for now
