Hey, everyone! PSA - You are supposed to ignite the JetBoil before you put the container of water on it! My apologies. Somehow I missed doing that for filming purposes.
My wife got me a Jetboil Flash for Christmas. I was generally happy with my MSR Pocket Rocket, but I cheerfully accepted the new stove. Taken it on two trips now including a recent seven day hike on the West Coast Trail (British Columbia, Canada). Definitely agree with your review. For those needing just boiled water for their backcountry dining needs the Jetboil works out great.
I have two jetboil flashes, when I use for camping and hiking which has served me very well. And I'm an over-the-road truck driver and sometimes I get stuck in areas where I do not have food or able to get my morning coffee. In which I keep dehydrated meals on my truck, and when I need to I have the jet boil flash. It has become a lifesaver on several circumstances. I absolutely love it
Agreed. I drive a Kenworth and I've been using my pocket rocket 2. This jetboil I just picked up yesterday. Can't wait to use it when I get back to work.
We usually order our Fuel canisters, including ThermaCell canisters through Amazon to deliver to our hotel or lodge where we are arriving for our hunt or a local address at the Post Office in the city we land in just to make sure we have them. We have been left high and dry, especially in small po-dunk towns not being able to find them. Great review. We don’t have this brand but have contemplated purchasing the JetBoil brand. Thanks for the review.

plorticusful 0 seconds ago I have this stove and agree with all your comments. If you are looking to do more than just boiler water or rehydrate food then Jetboil sell the pot support (about £19.00 Sterling in the UK so probably a similar figure in dollars in the US). It allows you to cook proper meals with any saucepan or pot. The only issue is there is very little adjustement range in the flame power when turning the valve so can be difficult to make minor adjustments to the level of heat. The Jetboil Minimo does have the proper regulator built-into the valve which makes fine adjustments easier. Also, I love the coffee press you can get for the Flash to make propoer coffee
Jetboil recommend lighting the stove first, then adding the pot once the stove is lit. (No Poof) Ideal for boil in the bag ration pack pre cooked meal, with water remaining to make a hot drink. For any soloist who just wants hot water for a freeze dried meal, then this would be over kill, and a 500ml pot and BRS stove would be a better alternative. However I use my Jetboil most camps, with ration packs, and I bought the coffee press also....
Have you figured out how many boils you can get out of the small canister? Jetboil has always intrigued me, but we don’t backpack enough anymore to need the compact/lightweight stove. I used to lug a Peak 1 stove on our hikes.
Well, it has a 1 Liter capacity, which you obviously wouldn't want to fill it up and then boil it. You may be able to boil 3, but I'd try it out in a safe place first before I took it out in the wild to try :D
Other reviews mentioned that this is made only to boil things. That's probably why other people had a problem. And it is not really adjustable from a temperature point of view or size of flame point of view
Hi very good review im going out to purchase a stove tomorrow, this is on my list, where is your accent from? I cant easily understand some Americans speaking a kind of pigeon English, your speech is very clear, if I come over to to do a bike tour i may visit your state ill be able to communicate in English, thank you
Why, thank you, Chris. I grew up in TN but live in NC now. It’s a modified southern Appalachian accent, which at one point I read was the closest to Old English 🤷🏼♀️
@@ReviewThisThing The US is sooooo big, I have been to Florida before that was fine, cant get on with New York, not sure about Texas, but Tennessee and the Appalachian mountains i really like the idea of its ‘real’ America, for someone like me that likes shooting shit n riding bikes. I should have came years ago
Love my jet boil. At home I put water in the electric kettle press the switch in a couple of minutes I have water hot water for my tea or coffee, this thing is the gas equivalent that you can take out doors camping or whatever as long as you only want it for simple fast hot boiled water tasks then it is an absolute no brainer. Not great for cooking as it is either off or full on there is no graduating the heat on this model.
@@ReviewThisThing I believe there is a different model made by jet boil that does, it is designed slightly differently to have a larger area on top for pots and pans and the heat can be controlled.
Definitely depends on what you’re doing. If you’re backpacking and want a hot meal fast, it’s awesome. If you have a camper or a camping spot where you can park and not have to carry everything, totally not worth it.
Nothing more off putting than 20 seconds of telling me to like and subscribe to a video/channel I've never seen before when I just want to see the pros and cons of a jetboil.
Great video. My family loves camping and my wife found a brand new jetboil in a thrift store on long island for about 3.99 😂 we just watched your video and are now subscribed have a great day

Fast Coffee too.

That’s a fantastic idea as a truck driver! A warm meal is hard to beat!

Let us know how you like it!
Thank you for the review! The only thing I would recommend is that you light up the burner BEFORE attaching the pot with the water in it.
Thanks for watching! Yeah - I pinned a comment to the top. Apparently I was so caught up in filming, I missed that part 🤦🏼♀️

Thanks for watching, and thank you so much for the information!!! I’m going to have to look up this things!
I just got myself the Jetboil Flash with the French press
Very nice. Let us know what you think

We love ours! Great review!
Thanks for watching, Carrie! And for commenting!
The instructions say to ignite the flame before locking the cup on top, so that you don’t burn your hands.
You’re exactly right. Somehow I missed that for filming purposes. Thank you!
I’ve had one for a couple of years and love it. Use it for boiling water for coffee and pouch meals
Thank for watching and commenting, Jon!
Great review! Looks cool!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Looks so neat! Loved your review!
Thanks for watching, Haley!
This thing looks awesome!
They are!
Great review, thanks.
Absolutely! Thank you so much, and thank you for watching!
Ima get one
😊
Very helpful. Thanks!!
I’m so glad! Thank you! And thank you for watching!

That’s a great question, but we haven’t tested that out. I’d be interested to know as well.
I'm making coffee for 2 ,,, approx 3-4 cups,, do you think you can safely boil 3 cups of water ?
Well, it has a 1 Liter capacity, which you obviously wouldn't want to fill it up and then boil it. You may be able to boil 3, but I'd try it out in a safe place first before I took it out in the wild to try :D
Need some of these in Jamaica
Will they not ship there?
The burning of the handle and the neoprene off - is due to cooking or using it longer periods than a few minutes.
That definitely makes sense! I guess we haven’t had that problem because we just boil our water and shut it off. Thanks so much!
@@ReviewThisThing you’re welcome
Other reviews mentioned that this is made only to boil things. That's probably why other people had a problem. And it is not really adjustable from a temperature point of view or size of flame point of view
Very true. The JetBoil pretty much just boils things.
Still the best stove on the market in my opinion 👌
How long have you had yours??
@@ReviewThisThing must be over 3 years now, use it at work in the forest almost every day and hasn't skipped a beat, awesome bit of kit 👍
That’s awesome to hear. Thank you!
Hey good day that was a good review maybe the handle and case melted because the flame was too high and the wind was blowing towards it
Thanks, Axel. That’s definitely a possibility!

A graduated Heat would be nice.
@@ReviewThisThing I believe there is a different model made by jet boil that does, it is designed slightly differently to have a larger area on top for pots and pans and the heat can be controlled.
@clivephillips6758 ahhh. I’ll take a look.
Mountaineer and hiker from Australia.
This is a good product.
Hey! Thanks. And thanks for watching!
it does not work in over 14.000 f elevacion feet !!
resent I made the Mount whitney and mount Langley and it does not work in the summit!!!
Oh no! I’ve definitely not been at that high an elevation yet. Thanks for letting us know!
Also Comes with French press
Cool! There ya go
Pot on and off can be a pain
I could see that for sure
$110 😳 nope not gonna do it. Not even for $50. Sorry. To boil water hahaha
Definitely depends on what you’re doing. If you’re backpacking and want a hot meal fast, it’s awesome. If you have a camper or a camping spot where you can park and not have to carry everything, totally not worth it.
I'm sorry that would be jet boil java
Ah. Gotcha. Makes sense.
Never had any bother with mine. Some folk are just unlucky in life.....
I think you’re right! Thank you. And thank you for watching!
Wow, maybe put some water in it.
Good idea
Nothing more off putting than 20 seconds of telling me to like and subscribe to a video/channel I've never seen before when I just want to see the pros and cons of a jetboil.
Yeah - I don’t do that any more. Decided if people like us well enough, they’ll subscribe on their own. Thanks for watching!
💦 🔥🔥☕️‼️
🥶☕️😊 / 😡🍛🥰😁
You giving the same reviews as many other’s. Not different at all!
Is that a good thing?
Great video. My family loves camping and my wife found a brand new jetboil in a thrift store on long island for about 3.99 😂 we just watched your video and are now subscribed have a great day
Holy smokes! $3.99!!!! Thanks for watching and subscribing!!!
What no trail cam this week lol 😝
Stay tuned. Ya never know 😊
Yes, Dave, I CAN boil water ☺️
Looks totally awesome and definitely sounds like the perfect thing for me to get for when I’m backpacking!
Perfect for sure!
You shouldn’t ignite it with the container on it!
Probably very true.
@@ReviewThisThing it even says it on the sleeve of the container! It’s so you don’t get a build up of gas. Be careful!
@@tompjohnstone thank you! I’ll definitely make sure not to do that moving forward!
