Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System

I love my Jetboil. I use it for all my cooking, even while not in the backcountry. Not the lightest setup, but reliable, convenient, and just plain cool. Only issues I've had: the cup cracked after heavy use, but is still usable; and the igniter sometimes takes a few tries, but has never failed completely. Advantages over the newer flash version: stronger neoprene sleeve and no igniter handle. With the flash version (at least the one I have), the neoprene sleeve starts to slide off if you hold only the handle to pour. With the original, I can pour one-handed. As for the igniter, the handle does make it easier to ease, but also means you have to unscrew the gas in order to store. With the original, you can store the gas and stove while connected.
