THE JetBoil kit is a purpose camping cooking system. Compared to other camping stoves, the JetBoil camping unit is not cheap, but what you get for the price is a solid, no-nonsense lightweight alloy unit that is totally portable when folded and packed away in its carry case. Plus, it has two burners that burn with sustainable heat when used with the unique ‘fluxring’ technology on JetBoil cooking pots, so there is no waste of gas.
The unit comes with a gas regulator, 10-inch frying pan, a five-litre ‘FluxPot’ lid with inbuilt strainer, a windscreen, and a heavy-duty carry bag fitted with a shoulder strap. The compact package weighs 2.7kg. It’s compatible with the universal 468g Companion Pro:Fuel propane gas bottle and has a 12-month warranty.
Jetboil recomemds using fuel canisters with a propne and isobutane mix for best performance expecially in cold climates where propane doesn’t burn well. Their own Jetfuel canisters are ideal for any conditions.
HEAT EXCHANGE
CURRENTLY there is nothing on the market that is similar, including the easy-to-clean lightweight ceramic-coated pan and pot bases that have ‘flux rings’ centred underneath them for heat distribution. The lightweight aluminium frying pan has a high wall that retains internal heat, especially when the lid is on it. The heat is fully controlled, and food can be left simmering for extra taste, made possible with a four-setting control knob on each burner. The frying pan heats up quickly, and it takes little heat to cook a tasty bacon-and-egg breakfast or a juicy steak for tea.
