Jetboil upgrade
Love the convenience of your Jetboil Flash or PCS but feel cramped by the solo capacity? Upgrade your kitchen with the Sumo, a 1.8-liter aluminum cookpot that kept our editors fueled with hot drinks on a six-day Capitol Reef testing trip. Its coffee-can shape can hold an entire Flash or PCS inside (including the fuel canister) for consolidated packing. $50; 14 oz.; jetboil.com

yeah, and the PCS sticks out the top. Have to purchase the shorter Sol or Zip to fint in the Sumo. I also did a quick boil test. It took 3:50 to bring one liter to a boil in my kitchen with a full tank of fuel. Interested to try it in November for my next campout (temps should be in the upper 30s at night).
The Flash will not completely fit inside. It will nest inside, but won't allow the Sumo's lid to fit, as the smaller Sol or Zip would.
