The colorful Jetboil Flash cooking system surely wins some style points, but don't be caught thinking that's all there is to it. This good-looking stove is loaded with functionality.

  • Winner of the Backcountry Magazine 2010 Editors' Choice Award, the Jetboil Flash is perfect for making hot drinks and whipping up a quick meal
  • An innovative thermochromic temperature indicator is integrated into the 3 stripes on the colorful neoprene cozy to show you when the cup contents are hot
  • When the indicator starts to turn orange you know your water is getting warm and will be boiling before long
  • Flash features a translucent drink-though lid that lets you check on the contents of the cup so you'll know precisely when your water begins to boil
  • Translucent measuring cup with easy-to-read lines unsnaps from the bottom of the cooking cup, giving you a convenient tool for preparing meals and hot drinks
  • Same as the original Jetboil Personal Cooking system, the Flash integrates the personal cooking cup and stove for fast setup and compact 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 picks up
  • Wire valve bail allows for easy flame adjustment and simmer control even while wearing gloves
  • Stove burner and cooking cup twist together to create a single convenient system for cooking; disconnect the stove burner and cooking cup for storage
  • Piezo igniter reliably sparks the stove to life with a simple push of the button; piezo is integrated into the burner for improved protection from bumps and knocks
  • Stove burner and 110g fuel canister (sold separately) stow inside the cup; lid snaps shut for storage
  • Anodized aluminum 1-liter cooking cup provides excellent heat transfer and cleans up fast
  • Neoprene cozy on the cooking cup stays in place during cooking without melting, thereby increasing heat retention and efficiency
  • Sewn-on tunnel pocket on the cozy holds your utensils or Jetboil hanging kit (sold separately)
  • Included stabilizer attaches to a fuel canister, widening the overal stove base to enhance stability
  • Total system weight is 15.25 oz.: stove weighs 6 oz. and cooking cup with lid weighs 9.25 oz.

      Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

      So the "Flash" feature feels like a pretty cheesy marketing driven "upgrade"---if you can't figure out when water is about to boil/boiling you probably shouldn't be let outdoors unsupervised anyway. That said, Jetboil hasn't increased the price, so I'm not actually complaining.

      Anyhow, this is a perfect cooking system---especially if you're cooking for one or two and don't often want or need a skillet. It boils water in a (wait for it...wait for it...) Flash and could not be easier to use: Screw in your fuel, open the stove's valve a bit, push the ignition button, and you've got boiling water or whatever before you know it. Easy and fast enough you can think about making a hot lunch instead of munching on dried fruit like a chipmunk. And the stove, fuel, and stabilizing platform all store inside the Jetboil cup.

      We're pretty minimalist cooking-wise, so this is perfect for the gf and me: she carries her own cup and I eat out of the base or straight from the Jetboil. Nothing else needed except a couple of long spoons. Well, except for...

      My one weakness out there is the need for a good cup (or three) of coffee. The french press addition adds virtually no weight, stores inside the Jetboil with everything else, and lets you make a delicious cup of your favorite real coffee no matter where you greet the sunrise or (with a splash of whiskey) sunset.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

        This stove gets a bad rap because of the new look it was given. I will admit most true outdoorsmen aren't entering any fashion shows with their gear so they could care less about the different colors it comes in. With that said, I still like this stove. The only negative that I can find is the weight. Its a little heavy if all you need to do is boil water for dehydrated food. Everything else about the stove is perfect. It performs excellent in all climates and packs down into a decent size. If you want performance and aren't truly counting ounces this is the stove for you. My pack is usually around 35Lbs for a 3 day trip. I can handle carrying this stove knowning the performance is top notch. If your a diehard minimalist the weight will bug you.

          Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

          Returned from a 1 week packing trip from Mammoth to Tuolomne Meadows on 9/1/09. Took along the the previous model called the Jetboil Personal Cooking System and absolutely loved it. It heated water extremely fast and was stable with the addition of the optional stabilizer set. Three hikers heated two meals a day along with beverages for a week using one large canister. The larger canister did make the system more stable but did not fit into the cup. If the small canister is used the whole system packs into one small unit inside the heating cup. No problem with the igniter. No problem with the unit at altitudes greater than 10,000 feet. Previously used a Whisperlite and the Jetboil is so much easier and faster. Only used it to heat water and would not recommend cooking in this cup, but for what it is supposed to do--heat water incredibly fast, it is the best.

              Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

              I've used the JetBoil system for 5 years and immediately ordered the new stove when it was available in Oct. 09. The improvements are very well thought out; longer valve control, see through top, easy on base cover / cup, canister feet (which used to be an add on), and of course the temperature indicator. My 10 and 14 year old daughters used it last weekend on a Girl Scout backpacking trip. Most folks in camp were a bit jealous as we were all enjoying our meals and hot drinks long before their water was boiling. I even boiled water for three others so they didn't have to deal with their stoves. My original make it across the Grand Canyon in 2005 and I plan on taking the new one on my JMT hike this summer. I especially like the "all-in-one" concept. I eat dehydrated meals, couscous mixes, instant potatoes, and oatmeal. It's a great stove.
