The Hikers Buddy Verdict
The MightyMo is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a lightweight, versatile regulated stove. If you’re heading out on alpine or cold weather adventures, or see yourself frying up some unique campsite meals, then the MightyMo will be a solid choice. [reword]
As of writing this is the only Jetboil stove that is sold as a standalone burner, without an integrated cooking cup or pot. This gives you the flexibility to mix and match the stove with the pot, frypan or skillet that best suits your cooking needs. If you’re the type of campsite cooke that appreciates the versatility in options that the MightyMo brings to the table, then this stove won’t disappoint.
Furthermore, as a regulated stove with the highest heat output (10000 BTU/h) of the Jetboil backpacking stoves, the MightyMo is well suited to cold conditions. This makes it an excellent choice if you’re planning alpine adventures, snow camping, or just want to be confident the performance of your stove won’t suffer if you hit unexpectedly cold conditions.
Who should buy it:
Hikers or winter campers seeking a powerful, efficient and versatile stove: The MightyMo could make an excellent choice if you’re got plans for cold weather camping, or alpine adventures. It’s a pressure regulated stove, and Jetboil claims consistent performance down to 20°F (-6°C), though if you think you'll be out in conditions any colder than this you may want to consider a liquid fuel alternative. If you're not up to speed on the difference between regulated and unregulated stoves, take a look at our article 'What is a pressure regulated stove, and do you really need one?'.
It’s also a great choice if you’re already happy with your cookware setup, and are just in the market for a powerful and lightweight burner.
Who shouldn't buy it:
Buyers with their heart set on an integrated canister system: The only real downside to the MightyMo is that it’s not sold as an integrated canister cooking system, which means you’ll need to purchase a cooking pot separately if you don’t already own one.
Coffee lovers: One pot option is to pair it with a 1.5L pot from Jetboil, which can be found sold as a package; but coffee lovers beware - the 1.5L cooking pot isn’t compatible with Jetboil’s coffee press accessories.
