Jetboil Personal Cooking System

Jetboil Personal Cooking System description

The highly efficient, lightweight, and compact Jetboil Personal Cooking System has revolutionized the way people cook in the backcountry.

Bottom Line: Save weight, save fuel, and save cooking time with the amazing Jetboil Personal Cooking System.

The second time I tried to light the stove, the ignitor went out. Other than that, it works great. Won't go without a lighter. Backcountry sent me a new one ASAP.

Okay so it is far more than instant hot chocolate, but man this is insane. Small, light, powerful and great for anywhere. The initial pot is only 2 cups really, though you can put in more for sure. The 1.5 liter pot system is a great addition for sure! The funniest thing is to be on a mountain with a ton of other guys and they are hovering over their old stove for 20 minutes when you rip this out and get eating before their water is warm. Always a classic. The fuel is small and seems to last a while. The Igniter is electric and seems to be pretty good, but in past experience they are not super reliable so I always keep some matches or a lighter around anyways.

This stove is THE standard expedition stove. Over the the last 5 years, I've used this stove on expeditions to K2, Annapurna, Broad Peak, Cho Oyu, and countless other forays in Asia and North America. It is lightweight, tough, compact. Most of all, nothing matches a Jetboil for heating vs. efficiency. Get the hanging kit, too. You'll thank me later.

This thing boils water fast. It came down to this, the Jetboil Group system and the MSR Reactor . But for the price, size, and the all in one pot/cup/storage this was it for me. I usually just use it to boil water. But I've also thawed 2 cups of frozen chili up to eating temp in just a few minutes, this thing is fast, almost too fast, have to watch out that you don't scorch your cooking on the bottom. I use the 100g fuel when hiking with it and the 250g when car camping, since they are only $1 more.

The first time I used this stove to boil water I was astounded. It seemed to be starting to boil as soon as lit. Although I didn't time it, I kid you not it had to be about 60 seconds!
