Review:

The original Jetboil Personal Cooking System generated enormous buzz when it debuted in the early 2000s.  They were the first to incorporate a heat exchanger with a canister stove unit while fitting everything inside the cooking cup.  Fast forward to the their Jetboil Flash Cooking System that has become one of the most popular cooking systems today.

The Jetboil system includes a heat exchanger between the stove and the cooking cup.  The heat exchanger helps block out the wind and focus the heat onto the cooking cup for improved efficiency.  This allows the Jetboil system to boil two cups of water in a quick 100 seconds.  And the cooking cup has a heat activated color change indicator to signal when the water is ready.

The Jetboil Flash Cooking System includes a 1 liter FluxRing cooking cup, the stove unit, a built-in igniter and a stabilizer for the fuel canister.  The Jetboil Flash is compatible with a wide range of add-on accessories including a pot support for use with regular pots and pans.  Best of all, the stove unit, the stabilizer, optional pot support and a fuel canister will all fit neatly inside the cooking cup for storage and transport.

Pros:

  • Fast and efficient; boils water in 100 seconds
  • Components store neatly in the cooking cup
  • Color changing heat indicator on cup
  • Built in ignition
  • Wide range of add-on accessories

Cons:

  • High cost
  • Pot support stand not included

Butane vs Propane vs IsoButane Stoves

Image
What are the differences between butane, propane and isobutane camping stoves? The difference is the type of fuel used by the camping stoves.  Each fuel has its own characteristics that work better in certain situations.  The size of the fuel canisters also plays a role to determine the best type of camping stove for the situation. Butane: Most commonly available in 8 oz canisters, the butane canisters are long and narrow.  They look like cans of spray paint.  Due to the size, most butane portable stoves are in the small to medium size range.  Portable butane stoves are also popular in Asian hot pot restaurants to keep a pot of boiling water at the table.  Butane fuel canisters are readily available and affordable.  These fuel canisters are not refillable and have issues operating in colder temperatures.  An e xample of camping stoves that use butane fuel is  the Gas ONE Portable Butane Gas Stove . Propane: Propane is a fuel that can be used for more than camping stoves.  Propane fuel

Review: The  Camp Chef Explorer 3X Three-Burner Stove is a no-nonsense stove for the outdoorsman. You won't find any fancy paneling here, just three aluminum burners with the ability to produce 30,000 BTU each. A simple but sturdy frame surrounds the three burners with removable legs to make setup easy. The Camp Chef Explorer 3X Three-Burner Stove measures out to be 50 x 8.5 x 16 inches and weighs in at 43 pounds. The legs boosts the cooking height up to 29 inches. The stove set up is easy as well. Connect the legs, connect the hose, then light the burners through a hole on the side. Pros: Sturdy and rugged design. Does what it is built to do. Cons: Requires accessories to maximize use.

Bulin 5800W Ultralight Camping Stove

    Review: The Bulin 5800W Ultralight Camping Stove is a lightweight portable gas stove.  The weight of the stove is 10.5 oz (298 g) and folds down to 2.6" x 2.6" x 3.3".  The Bulin camping stove comes with a carry case for easy storage and transport. The Bulin Camping Stove connects to the fuel canister with a tube, allowing the stove to rest directly on the surface.  This reduces the overall height of the stove, making it less likely to tip over.  The pot support stands are larger than most, providing stable operation for large pots.  The stove provides three burners, allowing a wider flame area and better spreading of the heat to the pot.   Setting up the stove is quick and easy.  Simply unfold the pot supports, connect the tube to the fuel canister, and light the flame.  The stove does not include a built-in ignition so a lighter will be needed.  This travel stove also includes an adjustable knob to control the flame. Pros: Lightweight and compact Large pot stand s
