How to Choose a Jet Boil for Backpacking & Car Camping: Stash vs Minimo vs Flash

How did your backpack catch fire? 😯

Buy a windburner instead

If wanted to carry one of these for two people which one is best?

THANK YOU for this video!!!

I have the Jetboil Minimo, but being a 1L, I don't know if this isn't too small for 2+ppl.
Id say a 1.5L would be more ideal for cooking meals, and not just for boiling water.
Looking for a good setup for backpacking

Imagine the apocalypse happens and we the only ones having great stoves for our survival!!!!!

Solid video. Thank you!

None as they are a scam can get a maple fire one for half price doesnt same job... but people like to be sheep

젯보일 최고의 비교!!!!넘버원

Car camping....carry a 4kg gas bottle with a hotplate.
All this other stuff is just wasteful vanity unless your hiking

Great review . Very helpful

The answer is: forget about Jetboil. Buy Fire Maple. Why buying overpriced equipment? AFAIK Jetboil "borrowed" concept from another company so Fire Maple did...

Awesome for the review, exactly what I was looking for! Leaving Florida in a little over a month to do Rocky Mountain Race Week If’n you’ve ever heard of it. Anyhow it’s an 8 day race in Colorado and I’ll be car camping in my Impreza WRX the whole trip. The Minimo is the one for me I reckon! Thank again Chris!!

Thanks for your tips!

Jetboil marketing is amazing. They sell these based on speed of boil and fuel efficiency. If i’m relaxing in the countryside i can wait an extra 30s to boil water - i’m not in a rush. And the fuel canisters have 20 boils so why do i need fuel efficiency. I’m not hiking 10 days with no resupply - so fuel efficiency is pretty useless. I’m not saving money on fuel because the jetboil is so expensive. For car camping i use real pots and pans from home on a 2 burner stove or cast iron in the fire. For hiking i want a lightweight toaks mug that can boil water for rehydrating food and coffees. I would only maybe use a jetboil for if i was on a roadtrip and wanted a cup of coffee on the way - even then i would probably stop at a cafe. Dunno - i cant see me using these

I was trying to decide myself between all four of those. Ended up with the Flash. Got it for $66 new. Works great so far.

I am currently searching for a new stove or stove system and this video was very helpful. Thanks for making our life’s easier.

Great video, ty. I'm going to get a MiniMo after your explanation.

None of the above. Msr or maple. Jetboils are overhyped and waaay overpriced.

I have two vehicle emergency kits, and each one has a JetBoil Classic plus the JetBoil 1.5 litre Cookpot.

If out walking and simply wanting some tea, I take my JetBoil Sol-Ti or if accompanied I bring my JetBoil Sol-Ti Sumo stove (I may also bring the Sol-Ti if there's a group).

For trips, my JetBoil Minimo and JetBoil FryPan are my preferred choice, something that I can properly cook on, and actually simmer!

My trips involve a folding bicycle and a Packraft, so I'm not carrying stuff on my back so the heavy JetBoil Fry Pan isn't a problem.

I have ultralight camping ovens but must convert my stove to a remote cannister configuration to use them, this is very easy and inexpensive to do and simple and quick to reverse.!

Don’t know about these stoves, but the genesis is trash.

great video, im a total fan. :-)

Thank you very much!

First time buyer thanks

Is there a single model Jet Boil you'd recommend as a "do-it-all" for backpacking, hunting and hiking alike? Maybe one that would be very capable of serving a family of three, light enough to carry, quick to bring water to a boil (and maybe cook small meals), without taking too much space in a backpack.. I have NO experience with these, so your opinion would mean a lot to me. Thanks for the review and your opinion based on experience.

Thanks for the video! Very informative.

Get a Fire Maple. Its half the price of a jetboil

The best jet boil you can buy is the MSR Windburner. Just sayin.

Them replacing that payed dividends! 236k views on this

For real backpacking they are way to heavy. If you hike a few miles and make camp I suppose they are fine. I rarely see anyone who actually backpacking using them.

Excellent video, thank you!

A rock or something...😉 Nice MRE reference

There’s cheaper brands that make similar styles. Fire Maple

REI has this MiniMo on sale for $115

🤦‍♂👎

Overpriced garbage, all 3

Very useful review and comparison, thanks so much, going for the Minimo as my first Jetboil. Btw how'd Jetboil catch fire? I seriously wanna know so that I'm cautious lol...

Great video. Excellent information. New follower here. Crow✌️

Thank for table with metric measurements :-)

Can you use Coleman propane cylinder's?

So many jump cuts in this video I thought my phone was glitching lol

This dude is clearly a Jetboil fanboy, what one-sided biased review.

Man, Jetboil is an incredible company who can deliver in some situations that the vast majority of other offerings can't even hope to compete, that said, 99% of people would be better served by a simple MSR pocket rocket and a bottle of fuel. If your an ultralight guy/gal (whatever else you wanna be to be PC) this company should be near/at the top of your list, PCT, and a bunch of other 20+ mile a day type trails it's a great fit, but if your humping a few miles in, staying a couple days to a week, look elsewhere, you can save a ton of money for a few oz/couple lb depending on how you go

Great video dude! Thank you. I am in the market to get one of these after having used an MST Whisper Lite for years. Your video was very helpful.

What jacket are you wearing in this video?

Great video thank you. I just started at REI and was confused by the array of Jetboil choices now. This helps me a lot!

Great tips! Also, I thought that they would all have regulators. It's good to know that you need to make sure that it has a regulator.

Man thank you so so much for this . May angels guide and protect you always . Truly thank you I feel like lots of us really needed a video like this to help us make the decision. God bless

The Flash fits nicely into a Maxpedition 12 X 5 Botttle carrier and the coffee strainer and rod fits into its side pouch. The carrier is tall enough to carry an extra canister of gas!
