    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; lid is BPA free
    • 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)
    • Stainless-steel pot support adds stability, allowing use of the 1.5-liter Jetboil pot or other pots and fry pans (sold separately) for greater cooking versatility
    • Included stabilizer attaches to a fuel canister, widening the overall 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.
    • 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

    I dehydrate my own food and bring it back in this thing. It boils water super fast and uses fuel super efficiently. The only negative is it is hard to control the temp. It goes hard or not at all.

      Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

      After reading all of the reviews I had high expectations of the Jetboil when I bought it. I finally got to use it on a weekend backpacking trip to Fossil Creek, Az and I couldn't be happier. My wife became a huge fan of it on that trip and now wants one for herself. For you java lovers, I highly recommend getting the coffee press. A very nice comfort to bring on trips like this. BTW - It started up like a champ every time.
      One more thing, there is some truth to the difficulty in adjusting the flame level. I have two points to make on that subject. 1) most of the adjustment is in the first 1/4 turn. After that, its Jetboiling. 2) who cares? we are boiling water right ;)

      Buy it.

        super lightweight. packs real easy and compact. nothing bad to say about this jetboil system. brilliant design. i use mine on backpacking trips often. i do a lot of single night weekend warrior trips and it does the job of cooking dinner. great for heating up a packaged meal with hot water or for making lentils, couscous, or soups.

            Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

            Lights quickly, and boils a pint of water within a couple minutes. Used same fuel canister for since purchasing 2 years ago to heat water on campouts for instant coffee, mate, tea and hot chocolate. could see using for dehydrated meals as well. Keep in bug out bag for short term meal prep and would use on overnight canoe or backpack trips. not ideal for longer term light weight requirements due to size, but nice that 3 cup size container packs the fuel and frame inside.

            Other than time to light being a bit longer than advertised at sea level, only con is that the neoprene insulation around the container is pretty flimsy and will heat up and slip if you grab the handle. Also, the 'lid' is cheap plastic that will warp. Otherwise, very useful and always impresses around the breakfast table at campouts due to speed and size.

              Love the JetBoil Flash. Boils water quickly. The neoprene sleeve makes it exceptionally easy to handle and the sip-top makes it easy to either drink from directly or to pour from. You can use the stove portion without the cup to cook with a small pot or skillet.

                  Comments about Jetboil Flash Cooking System:

                  I just used it for the first time on a backcountry weekend trip at Joshua Tree.

                  It was so easy for us to heat up water in minutes to cook our freeze dried prepackaged food. What's also great is that I was able to cook eggs in a pan over the stove with ease as well. We did a stove test with my friend's Whisperlite stove and my Jetboil stove. I cooked the eggs in high wind conditions in a matter of two minutes whereas she had the hardest time lighting her stove in the harsh desert wind. I ended up cooking her eggs for her as well.

                  I love my Jetboil and it made my friend a believer as well. Only drawback is that we are planning a 9 day trip on JMT and there is no maintenance kit for the Flash. I am sure my Jetboil will be ok but I would feel better if I had a maintenance igniter kit for it.
