Most of these stoves have an easy push-button mechanism for ignition and come with stabilizers for extra support. You can also buy an extra stabilizer to make it easier to use. Still, there’s no better Jetboil out there for the fast and light crowd who prefer simpler meals out on the trail. It’s also worth mentioning that the Stash’s stove arms are plenty long enough to handle JetBoil’s larger pot options, so you can always work a second cook pot or pan into your rotation for serious cooking duty later on. Pros: The relatively inexpensive Jetboil Flash is the base model integrated canister, but we think it's worth paying extra for the features found in its sibling, the Jetboil MiniMo. I tested Jetboil’s claims by filling the 0.8L cook pot to its highest fill line (just under the lip) and firing the burner to maximum. Plus or minus a second (or 3), the water reached a rolling boil right at the advertised 2.5 minutes. Jetboil Stash Stove What we didn’t like: weight (although it’s quite good for a group stove), slower boil (but only by a few seconds)

Ultimately, whatever fuel you choose, or have access to, doesn’t make much difference. If you’re camping in temperatures above 30°, I’ve found that all the camping stove fuels are similar.

The MiniMo is fairly light and compact, boils super fast, and features a cookpot that’s designed to house both a 100g fuel canister, the burner, and the included stabilizer. The ignition area is protected from wind, and the pot is optimized for the stove. This allows it to boil water in super-speedy 100 seconds, making the Jetboil Flash the fastest Jetboil stove.

Before lighting, screw your stove onto your gas canister all the way (read the directions). Turn your gas valve. Then use your lighter to gently and carefully hold a flame to the gas until it lights. Read the instructions that come with your camping stove before doing this. Carrying Whether you are doing a short day walk or you are looking to do a longer expedition for a few days, the load carrying kit that you use to transport all your other gear can be the difference between making it to the end and cutting your trip short.

Cooking

If you are using conventional cookware i probably wouldnt want to exceed anything around 20cm in diameter for stability, and be mindful that we're not talking trying to boil a 5L pot of water which would be to heavy IMO.

However, if you already own the WindBurner Duo anyway, we highly recommend the MSR WindBurner 1 L accessory add-on cookpot. Why? Because you can use the same stove base as the group-sized WindBurner, effectively two stoves in one! Fluxring. Also called Heat Exchange Coils or Fins. These are metal coils soldered to the base of a cooking pot to hold heat and transfer it to the cooking pot even when the stove has been turned off.
