This video is Part 5 in a series on Backpacking Stove Efficiency. Here, the Heat Exchanger (HX) Systems tested in Part 4 are subjected to the effects of wind. Discussion includes individual system performance, system comparisons, fuel efficiency vs. weight efficiency, and boils per canister. There is also now a weight/boils calculator included in the free downloadable spreadsheet, linked below. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/opi8q9v6skwkvxw2fp6i3/Pot-Burner-Efficiency-HX-Wind.xlsx?rlkey=ceqnkl1kfli5gs3d5z6s32ylq&st=fepwkvl8&dl=0 View the entire Series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEu_UfyDKJALh0XekpW2Dh8U6gICL7Xct Index 00:28 Methodology 02:00 HX Systems to be tested 03:44 Testing Procedure 03:56 Fire Maple Kettle Results 06:43 Jetboil Stash Results 08:17 Flat Cat Gear Cheetah Results 12:03 Petrel Results 13:40 Petrel on top 16:42 Jetboil MicroMo Results 17:58 MSR Reactor Results 18:38 Efficiency Rankings 22:20 Fuel Efficiency 23:25 Weight Efficiency (comparison to windscreen systems from Part 3) 28:53 Calculator 31:10 Equipment Failure 37:44 Summary
