Read More It's lightweight, everything fits inside itself, easy to use, boils water in like 2 minutes, what's not to love?! Only complaint is that the igniter breaks pretty easily but you should always carry a lighter or matches anyways so not a big deal. -

Read More I use it. My friends use it. No one I hike with uses anything else. Heck I even bring it on dayhikes during the winter. Who doesn't love hot cider midday?! Light weight. Uses very little fuel considering. I never even read the instructions. Crazy easy to use. I don't really use the flimsy plastic bowl/cup that goes with it. But it's a nice thought. I usually store spices inside and my spork in the outside sleeve. For 100 bucks always knowing you have a warm meal and minimal space taken up in your pack- priceless. -

Read More Haven't used it yet, but like all camping and hiking gear, it's overpriced. But it is exactly what I wanted. It's a small lightweight, self contained unit that theoretically works fast. Thankfully, I have the means to pay $70 for a twelve dollar piece of vinyl to cover my overpriced hammock, and cook in my hundred dollar water warmer while I wear my forty dollar underwear and twenty dollar socks, and sixty dollar shirt, and eighty dollar pants, and $120 shoes, $35 hat. Thank god no poor people will be ruining my thru hike! -

Read More This is ideal for backpacking. It all breaks down and goes together quickly and all packs into its own container. The fuel stand is a great addition to make it stable on rocky sites. Perfect for coffee, or boiling water for rehydrating camping meals. More personal use vs groups due to the size of the container, but in a pinch you can boil quite a bit of water with it. Great to roll out of tent, click the lighter and coffee in minutes! Love this package and all functionality. Absolutely no issues or negatives. -

Read More Ordered one of the newer colors for my son, but the shipment was delayed. We had to cancel it because we needed it for a scout campout over Presidents Day weekend. Picked up a different one from the local REI to take on our camping trip and it was broken. Took the new one out of the package and the flame adjuster handle was broken on one of the two sides. Had it use it anyway to eat warm food on a day when the high was 26 degrees. -

Read More This product has served me very well. I have used it in Colorado in temperatures as low as -3 degrees Fahrenheit and elevations as high as 13,000 ft. above sea level. I was on Mt. Baldy in New Mexico, there were 18 mph winds and the elevation is 12,441 feet and it boiled water in 1:48. Totally recommend!
Read More I bought the Jetboil Flash and took it on a 10 mile hike the next day just to try it out. When I stopped for lunch, setting this stove up for the first time was very easy and intuitive. I was quite surprised when it boiled water in about 2 minutes or so. I really love the Jetboil Flash and highly recommend it!
