+ 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 II-F tests: Evernew 0.9 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 II-F: 1 US fluid oz (30 ml) plus 2 ml preheat. The Turbo II-F 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.
