Does it come with a fuel canister, or do you have to buy that separately?
Flag
You have to buy it separately but it's only a few bucks and lasts a long time.

this pot holds plenty of water for dehydrated foods, but it still has the ability to simmer and slowly cook stuff like pancakes and such. It's great how it all fits into itself too! Great system for backpacking!

What is the weight including the canister?
Flag
A full JETPOWER fuel canister will add 6.5 oz (100 g). Jetboil Personal Cooking System [15oz (425g)] + JETPOWER canister [6.5oz (185g)] = [21.5 oz (610 g)]

Perfect little stove combo for quick meals. Nothing fancy needed - just hot water fast. Convenience is the key - everything you need, all packaged to fit together for the trail. Works like a charm - and is so light / small that there's no reason NOT to take it everywhere.

This is a great stove, but don't buy this cup only model unless you are only planning on boiling water. They also have a pot and cup version that together will save you a bit of money (as opposed to separately) and the pot is very much more versatile. It is a great stove, the fuel lasts a long time, and it is super efficient. Great buy.

If you're thinking about any other stove, then, well, stop thinking. If you've never used one the ease of lighting it alone makes it worth buying. A button. You push it. that's all. you never have to push it twice. somehow its invincible to wind. i don't know how, but it is. thats stretching it a bit but damn. super efficient on fuel. packs into itself. lightweight. you can drink right out of it. so easy to use. hopefully some people who read this make the right decision. just buy it.

It is a must have item. Pure and simple for anyone doing cooking in the backcountry. Period. If you are carrying your own cooking system with you and weight is an issue, this is the item of the decade as far as I am concerned. Awesome and super easy.

I just returned from a 3 day trip in Lassen Nat. Forest and this little beauty made a great trip even better. I brought along the integrated French press and we boiled up about 14 cups of coffee over 72 hours. The unit packs down, heats up and cleans out perfectly. I didn't even come close to burning through their small "JetPower" fuel tank. Very happy with my purchase.

I have tried many stoves but the second I saw this one I knew I had to give it a try. It seemed like a good setup. The fact that it is super efficient allows you to take less fuel. This boils water in no time. When I first bought it you only had the choice of the cup but since then they have some out with a lot of different cooking options.

I've used mine in Yellowstone, Glacier, the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, everywhere. I even used it in the Badlands, and that wind didn't touch the flame. Never had a single problem with over almost three years of 3-4 times a month use, knock on wood. I'll be a Jetboil customer for life.

Man. I bought this jet boil, per a suggestion from my little bro, and I have never been happier. While my friends were waiting for their water to boil, mine was finished, and I was offering some of my excess to them. They were so impressed, they bought one each when the trip was finished. I will not be using primus again.

And who doesn't like it HOT and FAST? I've timed the stove at just under the two minute mark for boiling a liter of water. Also, we kept track of how many boils we got out of one cylinder and ran out of gas at about 35 cookings. We used the stove underground during a cave expedition in Mexico, Yum Yum, freeze dried never tasted better than out of my Jetboil. Hot and fast!

Do you have to use Jetboil canisters only or can you use any fuel canister with this stove?
Flag
While it is recommended that you use the Jetboil canisters you can use any brand canister. Any of them like the Brunton Bruntane Canister, MSR IsoPro 4oz Premium Fuel Canister, or the Snow Peak GigaPower Fuel 110 IsoPro will fit just fine.

Okay so it is far more than instant hot chocolate, but man this is insane. Small, light, powerful and great for anywhere. The initial pot is only 2 cups really, though you can put in more for sure. The 1.5 liter pot system is a great addition for sure!
The funniest thing is to be on a mountain with a ton of other guys and they are hovering over their old stove for 20 minutes when you rip this out and get eating before their water is warm. Always a classic. The fuel is small and seems to last a while. The Igniter is electric and seems to be pretty good, but in past experience they are not super reliable so I always keep some matches or a lighter around anyways.

I took this right out of the box and heated up some water for hot chocolate inside. Granted I didn't have it out on the trail, but this thing boiled 2 cups of water in less than a minute. It was so hot after coming to a rolling boil I couldn't even drink it! Hotter than 2 minutes in the microwave- and thats just 1 cup of water. Plus, its all self contained so its a small package to shove into your pack. AND even after boiling the water, the cup with the cozy isn't even hot to the touch. Warm but completely bearable. I'm no expert, but I definitely recommend this. I just wish it came standard with a pot holder.

The title says it all. Used this device recently on a 4 day backcountry trip and found it fast, reliable and efficient. Boils super fast so your full and chillin in the tent, or skiing in no time. Plus everything fits inside the mug. I love this thing.

The first time I used this stove to boil water I was astounded. It seemed to be starting to boil as soon as lit. Although I didn't time it, I kid you not it had to be about 60 seconds!

This stove outperforms the competition in efficiency, weight, utility and longevity.
At first I thought JetBoil was a gimicky stove, useful to a narrow range of users. What I found on several trips - including climbing above 7000 meters and making coffee on El Cap - was that the JetBoil offers the highest possible performance and reliability for an entire range of outdoor activities from hiking to climbing.
The burner is so efficient it provides a team of two, enough melted snow and boiled water, to last two days of a single 8 ounce can of iso-butane (even under -20 degrees fahrenheit).
It easily converts to a hanging profile with the commercially produced after-market kit, or a piece of perlon and two zip-ties.
With the ease of availability of iso-butane even in places like India and Pakistan (albeit expensive), the JetBoil is the best go-anywhere, do-anything stove.
It's also way lighter and compact than any comparable stove. Over the course of three years I've had none of the issues that plague other stoves like reliability, messy fuel, unavailable fuel, or explosions. With the after-market camping kit, you can cook for a group and even simmer.

This thing is the best stove system and is worth every penny you spend. Not only is this a nice compact system (the gas canister and stand fit in the cup) it is quite small to fit easily in your pack, it is super super easy to use. I had this thing up in less than a minute and within five of pulling into camp, I had hot water for my Ramen. I also got the coffee filter/french press attachment and was greatly impressed with the outcome. The cup holds 2 cups of water, so pick up recipes that don't require more than that. But you can eat right out of it and it stays warm. I was blown away on how fast it boiled water! For anyone looking for a solo cooking system, look no further, this thing rocks!
