[pct-l] Jetboil and Snow

[Michael Irving]

You just need to have some water in with the snow to get it started. Not much but some. Otherwise from what I hear it just vaporizes the snow. I used the "little bit of water with the snow" technique at 9,000' on my way up Mt Adams on an overnighter there.

I understand that these stoves are extremely efficient at boiling water, however, I am concerned about their ability to melt snow, i.e. will this flamethrower just burn through the pot?  Anyone have experience with this stove in snow?
