The lightweight, compact Jetboil Sol™ stove features a fuel regulator for consistent heat-output whether you're camped out in the dead of winter or perched atop an alpine peak.

Burner features a fuel regulator that maintains consistent flow of gas down to 20°F, making the Sol suitable for 4-season use
Includes a 0.8-liter aluminum FluxRing® cooking cup with insulating cozy
Same as the original Jetboil, the stove burner and cooking cup twist together to create a single convenient cooking system; disconnect the burner and cooking cup for storage
FluxRing® heat exchanger on the bottom of the cooking cup creates excellent fuel efficiency
Adjustable-flame burner is housed in a windscreen, reducing heat loss when a breeze blows through
Push-button piezo igniter sparks the stove to life quickly and easily
Drink-through lid features a pour spout and a built-in strainer
Stove burner and 100g fuel canister (sold separately) stow inside the cup; lid snaps shut for storage
Bottom cover unsnaps from the cooking cup to double as a measuring cup or bowl; measuring cup comes in handy when preparing meals and hot drinks
Includes a pot support and a stabilizer tripod for use when cooking with pots and pans (sold separately); stabilizer tripod clips onto fuel canister (sold separately)
Please note: 10.5 oz. weight listed in the specifications does not include the pot support and fuel stabilizer
Sol stove is compatible with all Jetboil accessories, sold separately; Sol companion cups can be purchased separately
Due to flammable item shipping restrictions, we cannot sell fuel canisters online; they are available at REI retail stores
Because this stove system has a capacity of less than 1 liter, the average boil time specification represents the time required to do 2 separate boils of 0.5 liter of water

Please note: We cannot ship fuel-burning products to addresses in Japan or South Korea.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Stove:

This is a device that will quickly heat water. You'll have your water boiling in the time most people are still unfolding their stove.

It packs compactly, and is lightweight, so its perfect for backpacking. Starting is easy, and as long as you have the fuel canisters, its a dream to use.

Unlike a general purpose stove, this is not for cooking, it boils water. But while camping, this is the first thing you do when you wake up.

Highly recommended.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Stove:

Yes,
I have had many other cook stoves, and I have always wanted a Jetboil. I finally splurged and but the SOL, I have to say it lives up to the hype.

The handle has been upgraded and the lid is great, mine has never fallen off inside my pack or duffle like others have stated.

This beast boils water extremely fast and efficiently. It has been a pleasure to have so far. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Anyone looking for a cook stove, look no further than this. Get this one you will not be disappointed!

the Jetboil works great. I upgraded form an MSR Expedition. The MSR worked fine but was hard to light. I have not tried the JetBoilin a very cold environment, but above freezing it works great.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Stove:

The reviews about the flimsy handle seem to have been rectified. The Sol I just bought has a heavy ripstop nylon handle, and they did away with the temperature gauge on the side (I kind of wish it still had one since I don't like my hot chocolate boiling) but nothing's been done about the lid! It keeps coming off in my backpack spilling the stove's contents which is REALLY annoying. If they had made the cup 1 mm longer the lid would probably stay on.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Stove:

Greatly reduced how much weight I was carrying compared to a whisperlite system.
Compact.
Easy to use, quick.

Lighting mechanism broke pretty quickly.
Not much for a wind block, not very efficient in wind.
Seems a bit delicate for the purpose.

I mostly use this at high altitude (8-11K ft), but haven't had it out in really cold temps yet even though that's a major reason that I bought it. Works fine down to 40s so far. I've also been known to use it to make coffee on the side of the road during a road trip, for which the ease of use and setup and quick boil time was awesome. Same is true for a quick cup of hot drink or soup on the trail. Not so great if it's your only stove for two people on a trip, but you can make it work. Or, it's so small and light you could each carry one.

Some good friends of mine bought me this for a present. I love it. I've used it a lot. It holds 2 cups of water...just right for dehydrated meals.It has been going strong for a couple of years now. Always reliable. A must for backpacking and motorcycle camping.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Stove:

I've had this for about 10 months now, and have used it in a variety of conditions. Over 10,000 feet in all four seasons, and as low as 5 degrees F at 9,000 feet.

First of all, it's somewhat compact, and very simple. Easy to clean, fairly durable. The pot/stove attachment mechanism can be loose at times, and locked in place at others. I've gotten the hang of it by now, and it's not a problem. Lid needs to be held on when using it as a strainer, otherwise you might have to start cooking a new meal. I've had no problems with altitude, having taken it up to 12,000 feet. The cold however, can be a problem. At 5 degrees and 9,000 feet, with a cold can a fuel, it took a minute or two of trying to get it to light. Then again, since it always worked in those conditions, it was only an inconvenience. I would however acknowledge that there is a real possibility of not being able to get it to light in colder conditions, if fuel is not stored in your sleeping bag at night and kept warm in the day.

The one complaint I have that significantly annoys me is the temperature control. I have expreimented with it a great deal, but this is not the best stove for cooking proper meals. A simmer is difficult to achieve, but not impossible. With a great deal of practice, this stove has proven to be "acceptable" for cooking solid meats and sauteing vegetables. pastas and rice have become easy.

Overall, this is one of the best products I have purchased. Sure, it's not perfect, but no backpacking stove is. It's a great all in one stove, just shove this with a 100g can of fuel + some food into your pack, and you are set for days. I would only not recommend it if you plan on using it in primarily cold and high altitude environments. It does make a great all-rounder, though I am considering purchasing a stove that uses different fuel for winter.

Too heavy for the price

Comments about Jetboil Sol Stove:

Let's start with the good.

Pros: -Comes with its own measuring cup that can be used as a second bowl.
-This stove has the best protection from wind in a self contained unit, so it boils fast.
-Neoprene sleeve helps keep liquids hot, doesn't burn your lips.
-Boils water fast.
-Self-igniting (usually).

Cons: - Is only supposed to be used to boil water.
- Only has two settings, off, or jetspeed. No regulator.
- Not even a 100g fuel canister can fit inside.
- Too heavy for the price. This is the big one. The .8L pot, measuring cup, stove, combined weigh 12.4oz (not including pot stabilizer or fuel stabilizer). A Snow Peak Trek 900 Ti set (.9L) weighs 5.8oz with mesh bag. A SOTO Micro Regulator Ti stove with bag weighs 2.9oz. Total, this alternative system weighs 8.7oz, about 25% less than the Jetboil. But it doesn't cost any more! The Soto also has a regulator and is self-igniting, and you can use it to cook other things. Additionally, this system is self contained and holds a large 230g fuel canister!

Even the Sol Ti version doesn't beat this weight, and costs a lot more. The Jetboil PCS, with its thicker neoprene and 1L pot gets last place in this contest.

Of course, alcohol stoves blow both of these out of the water for price and weight. But those aren't for everyone.
