Jetboil Joule Camping Stove Cooking System

I've owned a Sol for almost 10 years now and it is finally showing its age. The Joule was intended to be the replacement. However, the Joule is ENORMOUS by comparison and is probably a bit overkill if I'm doing any solo trips. It's entirely my fault that I overlooked the size difference. That being said, I will definitely be keeping this stove. It fills a huge void for any trip with 2 or more people. With my old Sol, I very stricktly used it for ONLY boiling water. In part, because it's not all that great to cook in but mostly because cleaning out the cylinder pot was a pain in the you know where. While I haven't yet had the chance to try to do anything beyond boil water in the Joule, I'd feel much more comfortable with giving it a try. I realize that I'm comparing apples to oranges, but I think it's important to realize that this system will take up about as much space in your pack as a sleeping bag, which is a lot in my humble opinion. Might be helpful for JetBoil to show a side-by-side size comparison of their stoves for reference (it's quite possible that they do, and I just missed it). In the end, the Joule will definitely serve its purpose. Now off to pick up a smaller stove.
