There are a plethora of different camp stoves to choose from, including bulky propane stoves, Sterno stoves or D. Y alcohol stoves. You can also choose the best stove for your camping from our listed best Jetboil Stoves. Jetboil was created back in by founders Dwight Aspinwall and Perry Dowst. Knowing that many outdoor enthusiasts were tired of packing around bulky cooking systems and dealing with stoves that took too long to boil water, Aspinwall and Dowst decided to produce something that worked better.
Through testing both in labs and out in the field Jetboil stoves were born. With a range of 11 different stoves and complete cooking systems available it can be a bit daunting deciding with Jetboil is right for you. The Jetboil Zip Camping Stove Cooking System, Carbon is a great compact and lightweight cooking system for backpacking, cycling, hunting, or other day-long to overnight activities.
It is a great introduction to canister stoves for camping and despite its small size it really packs a punch in how well it performs. It has all the same power as the other cooking systems and relies on the same gram fuel canister. Since this stove holds less than 1 liter, it will take roughly 5 minutes to do two full boils for you and a camping partner. There is nothing that the Zip does poorly.
Ultimately, it is an effective product that serves its purpose. However, anything the Zip can do, the Flash can do better. The Jetboil Flash is capable of carrying 0. I love the Flash for its extra features and accessories, not for the extra amount of water it can hold.
Before the trip, I was warned multiple times by multiple people to pack a spare lighter for the Flash. Many friends claimed that the push-button igniter was unreliable, especially in high wind or poor weather conditions. In mph winds, there were no problems with the igniter.
In rain and hail, there were no problems. While we heard claims that wind could blow out the flame, we never experienced this issue.
As for the Zip, it requires a lighter and ours always started up like a dream. We even tested, with success, lighting the Zip by using the flame from the Flash. This proved convenient, especially after our Zippo went out. Over periods of extended use, the Flash igniter might wear out and stop working.
Know that the igniter can be fixed. Jetboil also sells a Replacement Igniter Maintenance Kit. A color-changing heat indicator? I doubted it would even work. I believe my exact quote was:. Why would you need a color-changing label to tell you when something is boiling. Right on cue, the Jetboil logo turned orange and the water started to boil. It was pretty neat. While neither are that effective at regulating the exact internal temperature of the container, the regulation valves on both are designed very differently.
Our regulated systems feature best-in-class simmer control for unmatched versatility and expanded cold-weather capabilities in the backcountry. Bacon and eggs? Pasta and marinara? Our basecamp systems pack the same regulated technology and FluxRing efficiency into larger cooktops, giving you additional camp cooking versatility. When the trips get longer or the crew grows larger, the JetLink Technology gives you the option to grow your basecamp system into a full-fledged backcountry kitchen.
