I got a jetboil because it was cheaper than buying a pocket rocket and a pot at the particular outfitter I visited. I started my thru-hike stoveless but quickly realized I wanted to have access to hot food or a warm cup of coffee. Over 1000 miles later I still have it with me. I like how efficient it is. I have only purchased three cans of fuel so far. I like how fast it boils. I'm tucking into dinner while rocketcucks are still waiting. If I upgrade to a better (read: lighter) pack I'll probably go back to cold soaking, but I'm happy enough with the present arrangement.
