About Jetboil
Jetboil was founded in 2001 in New Hampshire, USA, by Dwight Aspinwall and Perry Dowst, who set out to make a faster, more efficient way to boil water outdoors. Their answer was an integrated cooking system: a burner, a cooking cup with a built-in heat exchanger and an insulating cosy that all pack together. Jetboil is now part of Johnson Outdoors.
The key to Jetboil's speed is the FluxRing, a ring of metal fins on the base of the cooking cup that captures and spreads heat from the burner. More of the flame's energy goes into the water, so it boils faster and uses less fuel, and the integrated design shields the flame from the wind.
Which Jetboil is which
The Flash is the fastest way to boil water for freeze-dried meals, coffee and tea, with a push-button igniter and a colour-change heat indicator on the cosy. The MiniMo has a wider, shorter cup and a regulated burner with fine simmer control, so it handles real cooking as well as boiling, and the MicroMo and MightyMo are compact options with similar control.
The Stash is Jetboil's lightest system for fast and light trips, and the Genesis Basecamp is a folding two-burner stove for car camping, boats and groups, with enough room for full-size pots and pans.
Jetboil at Land & Sea
We stock the Jetboil range along with accessories such as the Java Kit and silicone coffee presses, the Summit Skillet, TrailWare utensils, pot supports and fuel stabilisers. Jetboil stoves use standard screw-thread isobutane and propane gas canisters, which you will find in our camp kitchen range. Our team can help you choose between a pure boiling system and one that simmers properly.
Most Jetboil systems nest the burner, a small gas canister and the canister stabiliser inside the cooking cup, so the whole kit packs into one tidy unit and nothing rattles around in your pack.
Frequently asked questions about Jetboil
Which Jetboil is best for tramping?
For most trampers, the Flash or MiniMo is the right choice. The Flash is the fastest for boiling water for freeze-dried meals and hot drinks. The MiniMo has a wider cup and a regulated burner with excellent simmer control, so it is better if you want to actually cook, and it performs well in the cold. If saving weight is the priority, the Stash is Jetboil's lightest system and packs down small.
What is the difference between the Jetboil Flash and MiniMo?
The Flash is built for speed. It boils water very quickly with a tall, narrow cup and has a colour-change indicator that shows when the water is ready. The MiniMo has a shorter, wider cup that is easier to eat from and stir, plus a regulated burner with fine simmer control, so it is better for cooking real meals and in cold conditions. Choose the Flash for boiling water and the MiniMo for cooking.
What gas does a Jetboil use?
Jetboil stoves use standard screw-thread canisters filled with an isobutane and propane blend, the same type used by most lightweight backpacking stoves. Jetboil sells its own Jetpower fuel, and other screw-thread canisters fit as well. Always check that the canister is screwed on straight and not cross-threaded, carry a spare on longer trips, and remember that gas canisters cannot be taken on planes.
Why does a Jetboil boil water so fast?
Jetboil cooking cups have a FluxRing on the base, a ring of metal fins that acts as a heat exchanger. It captures heat that would normally escape around the side of a pot and transfers it into the water, while the integrated design shields the flame from the wind. That means faster boiling and less fuel used, which is why the Flash is one of the quickest ways to get hot water on the trail.
Can you cook food in a Jetboil?
Yes, but some models do it better than others. The Flash is designed mainly for boiling water, so it is ideal for rehydrating meals and making drinks but less suited to simmering. The MiniMo and MicroMo have regulated burners with fine flame control, so you can simmer rice, pasta and sauces. With accessories such as the Summit Skillet and a pot support, you can also fry and use other cookware.
Does a Jetboil work in cold weather?
Jetboil stoves work in cold weather, but all gas canister stoves lose pressure as the temperature drops, so performance falls. Models with a regulated burner, such as the MiniMo and MicroMo, hold their output better in the cold. To help any canister stove, keep the canister warm in your jacket or sleeping bag before you use it, start with a fresh canister, and shelter the stove from the wind.
