Jetboil experences

By tlwagner1036182 Ranked #744 - Canister Stoves July 20, 2009

We had a party of 6 hikers with ages from 37 to 63 years old,2 female and 4 males. Hiking the Grand Canyon south rim to north rim. we camped 4 nights in the canyon. The Jetboil was the only stove we brought, 4 of the party brought dehydrated meals in pouches just add boiling water. They required 2 cups each. The Jetboil cup has a 2 cup mark embossed inside the cup add water to the line open the valve snap the igniter and almost as fast as ripping open the pouch finding and disposing of the preservation pac, The water was boiling. 2 of the party brought items to be prepared pastas and rice ect. They were able to prepare their meal as quick and easily as the others Meal time was quick and pain less. The stove is incredibility compact aside from the Jetboil we had a coffee cup per person and and 4 of the party had bowels for morning oatmeal. the rest of the party shared the bottom cover of the stove as their bowl. The stove being secured the the cooking cup and with neoprene cove. even are most trouble prone member was able to use the stove without injury. We caught him with the food pouch in his lap just before pouring the boiling water into the pouch. Those alumized pouches heat up really fast. He would have had to suffer the embarrassment of his actions and trying to salvage his meal off of the ground. Some times adults need adult supervision. As a personal cook system I feel that the Jetboil is without pere and works great for a small group. I can't imagine how anyone might go wrong with this stove.
Now if we could fine out who stole the beer.
