I'll pick up a G2 pot, compare to the ramen pot using the Windmaster.

Here's a link to some good pot geeking:

Thanks for that link - that's an updated post/list from one of the three or four main sources that were doing comparisons a year or so ago.

And they were one of the main proponents of the JetBoil Stash as being superior to the other pot offerings; seems like their stance may have changed a bit, with them now leaning towards the Petrel G2 or Ramen pots.

Still, the Stash is a bit lighter.

And one of the tricks with their site is that they tend to offer some generic observations and 'likes' rather than the actual testing that Jon Fong and others have done (linked in this thread in Jan/Feb last year).

Would be good if Jon or someone did boil time and fuel use comparisons between the Stash, G2, and Ramen pot.

Yeah, that link has been here before in one form or another. It's been a while, 380 posts later I doubt folks are reading the whole thread. Figured it was worth putting up again.

I think the last tine we linked it (could be wrong, though), it was for an earlier assessment, which didn't included the Ramen pot - so thanks for the updated one.

Having just read it through in a bit more detail, though, it does seem a bit muddled, as it talks about the Olicamp as their 'top pick' in the text, but gives three 'top picks', which aren't the 'two best' ... so a bit confusing! But some good info in there.
