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: 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 .
