Description

Jetboil: Personal Cooking System - Altrec.com Product Description:

Redefining outdoor cooking with a super heat efficient, integrated configuration, the Jetboil® Personal Cooking System (PCS) offers a simple, fast, efficient solution to cooking in the outdoors. Consider it a travel mug and campstove melded into one. The set-up goes like this: pull it out of your backpack (it stores as one unit inside the cooking cup), attach the fuel canister to the burner, snap the burner to the cooking cup, and press the piezo igniter for quick lighting. It's that simple. And it's fast too. The boil time for two cups of water is just two minutes. This translates to less fuel consumption, meaning less weight carried in the pack. The Jetboil® PCS relies on a series of innovative features to produce such fast boil times. First, the burner is housed in a wind-protective shroud. Next, snugly attached immediately above, the FluxRing™ heat exchanger and cooking cup assembly gathers nearly 80% of the available heat, doubling the heat efficiency of standard backpack stoves. Additionally, the neoprene cozy sleeve holds in the heat around the cooking cup, giving it another nudge over the competition. The cooking cup works just like a travel mug. The snap-on lid offers a drink-through spout and drip-free pouring while the neoprene cozy eliminates the need for metal pot grabbers and is comfortable to hold while eating. The Jetboil® PCS stormed onto the camping gear scene in 2004 when Backpacker magazine pinned one of their prestigious Editor's Choice Awards on it. They recognized the innovation and performance found in this camping stove, just like the continuously growing group of fans who rave about it. The cooking cup that comes standard with the Jetboil® Personal Cooking System works best for feeding 1-2 people. Consider purchasing a Jetboil® Companion Cup for each additional person or for group situations consider converting your stove with the purchase of a Jetboil® 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot and Jetboil® Pot Support and Stability Kit.

AMZING PACK-ABILTY This stove is amazing, and I love how everything fits into the JB, and the accessories are excellent design... There only flaw is the ignition system seems to break. It has gone out twice on my buddy but I have not had any issues yet....

A great advance in backcountry cooking. I used to use a Whisperlite and pots/pans when backcountry camping. Not only was it bulkier and heavier, the heat transfer was less than optimal. With JetBoil and a couple of freeze-dried meals, you lessen the bulk and weight, and save time cooking. It's fun to use and quick enough so that you can boil water for coffee, then boil some more for oatmeal before your coffee is cool enough to drink. My only complaint is that the first unit I got had a bad igniter that broke. The second one worked perfectly in the backcountry. No more dishpan hands. (Another benefit to using freeze-dried is the lack of dishes to wash after meals.)

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 1 of 1 found this review helpful.)

Water boiling fast This is the best stove on the market for boiling water(and hot water is all you need for backpacking food anyway). It is the fastest and very compact. A must buy for any backpacker.

Is this Useful? - Yes - No
