No-pot cooking with Jetboil

Jetboil Personal Cooking System

Jetboil Personal Cooking System

Rating for this product: 5 August 30, 2004

What an incredible product. My boss warned me that it would be useful just for one person - however, I went backpacking with my wife and two of my kids, and the Jetboil stove served us extremely well. It was the Jetboil for hot cocoa, coffee, and oatmeal in the morning, and the Jetboil for hot cocoa and pre-prepared foods in the evening - using the Jetboil all we did was add boiling water to a ziploc(r) bag, shake, stir, and serve.

Technically, the warnings accompanying the Jetboil are a bit scary but worth paying attention to. Occasionally finding a flat rock to put the stove on was tough to do. For someone who has had stoves "flash" in his face, I came to really appreciate the piezo lighter.

90 seconds for 2 cups? Not quite that fast. But with the extra-efficient, focused heater, we did get hot food quite quickly.

I chose not to cook anything in the liter top - I didn't want to spend time scrubbing anything out, and all of the meals we made fit into the ziploc(r)bag.

Fuel seemed to last forever - we didn't use 2 containers in 5 nights and 6 days on the trail in Isle Royale.

If I had a little more time in my life (sure, PV), I'd create a website for Jetboil recipes. Hey, that's not a bad idea, maybe someone should mention it to Jetboil, Inc.

Fuel worked good

Jetboil JetPower Fuel

Jetboil JetPower Fuel

Rating for this product: 4 August 30, 2004

My only concern was accessing the Jetboil, I couldn't find it to buy retail off-line, and some of (maybe most) of the on-line shops aren't aware they can ground-ship fuel.

Very efficient, much more than I expected. 2 containers stretched beyond 5 nights and 6 days on the trail in Isle Royale for 4 people - 2 hot meals a day, along with hot drinks.
