This is a comprehensive review of the Jetboil Stash backpacking stove and cook set. It covers all things Jetboil Stash.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Try pouring the boiling water without the lid. Lol

[@Philippe56-qk1cr]

"You have to put it in the right position or the lead wont close". I asked for a demonstration in a shop and the salesman was unable to find the right position to close the lead, me neither... I decided to keep my JetBoil Fast. I guess when you know how to do it, it's not a big deal to repeat it, but when you don't know the solution...

[@BessenyeySoma]

Come on, mate, lid falling off? Doesn't backpacking necessarily include some creativity? Like putting a sock or something on your hands and hold the lid down? (Obviously away from the hot steam)

[@scott090670]

I hate to tell you but you can cook just fine on it, You can turn the burner down and cook on it, I cooked a egg and sausage and made a sandwich out of it so your wrong on that part, Just saying

[@CharlesLe-thephotographer]

Doesn’t sound like an ok investment at all. Way overpriced at $130. Lid falls off when pouring. Takes 10 minutes to boil in winter. Hassle to fit everything in.

[@wurlabyscott]

If pot doesn't connect to the burner, dont buy it.

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

I think in America it is pretty cheap. Here in the Netherlands I have to pay €169.99 for it, which is a little under 200 dollars.....

[@longwildernesswalks]

Yup. I went back to my heavier Flash because of entropy. You can pump BTUs into the water as fast as you want, but if there is no insulation on the pot itself, you encounter massive entropy loss. I watched mine go from boiling to cold in under 7 minutes. My Flash on the other hand kept the water piping hot much longer simply because it's insulated. Great idea, but impractical in below-freezing conditions.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate the honesty and I will be sure to relay your comments to our quality team.

Optimus SVEA for the win…

[@Reality_Filter]

Love your reviews! I have a stash, used it for a week long section hike and camping trip on the Long Trail. Used it several times a day, what I found I loved about it was how efficient it was, it sips fuel like a Prius... I was able to carry less fuel and spend less on fuel in the long run. I didn't do any fancy cooking with it for sure! Thanks again for your great reviews.

[@markwthompson71]

Because it lacks a regulator on the stove this is a "warm weather only" kit for me (it goes when I don't feel like waiting on my esbit or alcohol stoves). The speed of a boil is largely achieved because of the pot itself, which is the heaviest component of the Stash system. This is singularly why I prefer it over any other stove. With the windscreen built into the pot, and the speed of the boil, wind is less of a worry for me. All components weigh 7.2 ounces on my scale. Thank you for the review!

[@jjhikespa3600]

I have the jetboil minimo system and I love it! It is a heavier system but more geared to those who want to cook on trail. I love to cook at home and my family will only go camping with me if there is going to be actual meals cooked so a stove that can simmer is a must have for me. The stash is expensive, doesn’t have a regulator and lacks the ability to adjust the flame, so it is an easy pass for me, especially when there are better ultralight options. Thanks for the gear review!

[@terryweaver9770]

Thx for putting this new Stash into perspective. Great pro’s & con’s points, some I didn’t even think about. Great video, Jeremiah. For me, as a beginner hiker, I like the idea of the Stash. Honestly, it’s going to B my 1st cook kit for backpacking. In my mind, U described everything I was going to use the stash for in the 1st place. My wife missed her calling as a chef, so to hear the info about not utilizing this Stash for fancier trail food was very disappointing. I guess I understand. Jetboil does make a skillet- I saw that. We mite need a couple add-on pieces for our couples cook set, lol!! Ty sir. Waiting for the next video!!

[@benjaminspadzinski9799]

Great review Jeremiah! I’ve had the stash for a month or so and have really enjoyed it! As stated, it not great for cooking things where you need to adjust the temp. But it’s been incredible at heating water fast for my morning aeropress, oatmeal, or dehydrated meals. I’ve also seen people fry up steaks or eggs on a skillet. Once you figure out how to properly pack it, it takes up very minimal space in my pack and I’ve quite enjoyed not losing pieces haha. I’ve found the price to be relatively comparable to alternative options here in Canada as one would have to buy a burner and cookset separately.

[@mjpk987]

Got one since Spring, and have used it some.

[@benwelch4076]

This is how reviews should be done! Excellent. Still not giving up my 22 year old Coleman white gas stove, works hot or cold. Its heavy but lights off every time and you never know when you might need another boat anchor. Cheers.

[@daveforbes6751]

Have been using this since spring. Never been a fan of jet boil. Usually run with a Soto windmaster and toaks pot. I agree it struggles in the wind and cold and sucks at simmering. With that said, I do like how it stores all together and doesn’t rattle. Fuel consumption is where this shines. The little fuel canisters last forever compared to my wind master. Ultra light hikers wouldn’t even consider it, though isn’t that much heavier than my usual set up. Good review👍

[@hoser7706]

Very thorough and honest review. Thanks.

[@MrTmax74]

Nicely put together review, thank you. I owned the system right about a year ago but took it back a few days later. I didn't trust the lid either, and pouring directly from the pot doesn't work too well unless it's really quick. If you're trying to do pour over coffee, etc, you end up with most of the water just going down the side of the pot instead of where you want it. And it's kind of odd that they built it so that you could use a different pot or frying pan on it, but don't give you much flame adjustability.. In the end, I figured none of these integrated systems are really for me. I have plenty of other lightweight pots and stoves to make whatever combination I like. And I know which one's pour and which ones don't.
