The Turbo II-D (2.8 oz/ 80 gm) is the improved version of the Turbo II (now discontinued). The Turbo II-D has a double wall (the reason for the "D" in the name), which creates significantly improved flame control. The TurboII-D is for use by one to two people. It has a fuel capacity of 2 US fluid ounces (60 ml) and will burn for a maximum time of 20 minutes on a full load (longer if simmering). The Turbo II-D is now available with custom soldered stainless steel stand extensions that significantly improve stability, especially for larger pots. The minimum recommended minimum cook pot base diameter is 4 inches (10 cm). Flame size can be adjusted by partially closing the ports to compensate for pots that are on the borderline of the stove's recommended minimum capacity and base diameter. For example, the Evernew 0.9 L titanium pot and the MSR Titan titanium pot (0.85 L) each meet the minimum recommended minimum pot base diameter but are smaller than 1 liter. The maximum recommended pot capacity for the Turbo II-D is 2 liters. See pot size recommendations for further information. See below for stove specifications.

+ Weighed on Royal EX-2 digital scale accurate +/- 0.1 ounce.

* Tested in windless and light wind conditions, warm and cold temperatures. The average was taken. Burn time may be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, wind and conservation of heat inside the windscreen. Field tests have shown that wrapping a windscreen too close to the stove while using a pot with less than 5 in (13 cm) diameter base may dramatically reduce burn time.

** Stove trials involved three test burns, and the average time is posted. Cookpot used for Turbo I tests: Evernew 0.9 liter titanium pot. Cookpot used for Turbo II-D tests: Evernew 1.3 liter titanium pot. Starting water temp: 50 degrees F(10 C). Interior environment was used. Room and fuel temps: 70 degrees F (22 C). Elevation: 80 ft. No simulated wind. No windscreen, or heat reflector. Stove sitting on plywood surface. Starting fuel amount used for Turbo I: 1 US fluid oz (30 ml) plus 2 ml preheat. Starting fuel amount used for Turbo II-D: 2 US fluid oz (60 ml), plus 2 ml preheat. The Turbo I consistently boiled 16 oz (500 ml) in an average time of 4 minutes, 30 seconds. The Turbo II-D consistently boiled 16 oz (500 ml) in an average time of 5 minutes. Larger pot sizes, metal type and thickness, wind conditions, windscreen position, lower starting temperature of water, lower outside air temperature, and elevation may all increase field boil times.

Please note: Stoves do not include a fuel dispenser bottle. Fuel dispenser bottles are a separate-order item. Brasslite fuel dispenser bottles are a very convenient and accurate fuel dispensing solution but are not required to use the stove. Many hikers use a standard 20 oz. soda bottle for carrying fuel and dispense fuel using the cap.
