Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System
The Standard

This stove is THE standard expedition stove. Over the the last 5 years, I've used this stove on expeditions to K2, Annapurna, Broad Peak, Cho Oyu, and countless other forays in Asia and North America. It is lightweight, tough, compact. Most of all, nothing matches a Jetboil for heating vs. efficiency. Field cleaning is easy and effective- even if you spill glop directly on the burner. The newer version igniters work in cold and at altitude. On my most recent expedition I had the chance to compare this stove to the MSR Reactor. In cold an at altitude the Jetboil so outperformed the MSR that we finally abandoned the Reactor completely. Get the hanging kit, too. You'll thank me later.
