Easy and efficient
I was so happy with this system. I’ve never seen water boil so fast and the whole thing was cool and ready to pack away by the time I was done eating. It was simple to set up and to pack away again as well. The fuel adds a bit of weight but to me it’s worth it to not have to forage for sticks and fuss with lighting my Solo Stove.

Does it’s job very efficiently and quickly
If you are looking for something compact and tough to quickly boil water when camping or backpacking then this will do the trick. This model is on the lower end of the price scale as they go up with the more options available. I bought this for it’s simplicity and size and it does exactly what I needed.We took a family camping trip to Yellowstone for a week. We went exploring every day and would eat breakfast at the camp…. sometimes it was instant oatmeal and we used the Jetboil to heat the water. We would not come back to camp until night so every day we took freeze dried food with us (Backpackers Pantry and Mountain House). I used this thing pretty much every day for the week and we would make 2 bags of food for the four of us so I had to boil 2 containers at each meal. With the small gas canister it finally ran out of gas the last day.- It boils water very, very quickly.- Stores up completely within itself (gas can too)- Stays cool to touch on the outside (from the neoprene sleeve) even though the contents inside are boiling.- Put together or taken apart in under a minute.True story- It comes with little plastic stabilizer legs that attach to the bottom of the fuel can for extra stability. I was using it at a picnic table and forgot to use them as the unit was balanced very well and actually left them inside the cup. I realized it when I was pouring the boiling water out and I heard it hit the lid. There was zero damage to the legs. Took them out, let them cool a couple minutes, then used them as usual.The only downside to the base model is no auto igniter so you need a lighter or matches to light it. However on a plus side that is one less component to worry about failing at the wrong time, and less weight. I see it as a non needed option so still rate it at 5 stars.

It’s hard to go wrong…
I love my Jetboil. It has its detractors who have justified reasons for their dislike, but i think its strengths greatly outweigh its weaknesses. I am primarily a “boil water only” kind of backpacker. I am a freezer-bag cook, a Mountain House aficionado. The most complex thing i make while hiking is coffee. So, a stove and pot combination is perfect for someone like me. The Jetboil Zip is perfect for trips that are 4-6 days. The Zip is smaller than its predecessors and is a fuel miser. I can get 13-15 full pot boils on one 110g Fuel Canister. For me, the peace of mind that come comes from not having to worry about running out of fuel while out is worth the the weight of the system. With a can of full 110g canister, the stove unit, the pot (with coozie), the lid, and fuel can stabilizer (which i like and use) – the whole thing comes in just under a pound in my pack. Bear in mind, that as you use fuel, it will become slightly lighter day by day. I typically use the stove to make breakfast/coffee in the morning and to make dinner/tea at night. I don’t usually boil water for lunches, preferring instead to eat things like protein bars/candy bars for that meal. I use the pot with the included sip lid for my coffee cup/drinking vessel. If i am planning more cooking than usual, i will bring a larger can of iso-butane. I do not use the included pot support converter (which makes it possible to use pots that don’t have the flux ring), but i am pleased that it is included. It would be ideal for sharing the stove with a hiking partner who has a normal cook pot, or for bringing along if you are the kind of hiker that actually uses stuff like frying pans and extra pots. The whole unit packs tightly and neatly into itself and takes up a small amount of space in my pack. It is sturdy. I do not worry about damaging it while it’s in my pack, and i don’t go out of my way to be extra careful with it around the campsite. It works best for three season camping. I use it in the winter, too – but it can get fussy and lose output in temps below 20F. (But this is a problem with canister stoves in general, not just the Jetboil) I remedy this by sleeping with my fuel canister in my hammock so it stays warm, and putting the fuel in a pocket near my body while hiking or setting up camp about an hour before i plan to use it. I LOVE the fact that i never need a windscreen with the jetboil. The construction is such that you do not need one. In very windy conditions, i will position my body to block the wind while i cook. i have never had the stove not work in the wind.Sure, there are lighter options out there. There is no denying that. In fact, i use a small titanium pot/alcohol stove for fast and light overnighters. But, for trips lasting more than four days, i almost always go with my jetboil. The fuel efficiency and ease of use make it so that it’s hard to go wrong.

Great product, highly recommended
So I just used this for a little over two weeks on a military feild excersize. Over all it was great! Nothing beats a hot shave and hot chow that isn’t a MRE. I also recommend for any type of outdoor activities.It’s small, so it will fit easily in your backpack or a canteen pouch. The fuel canister fits inside the Jetboil, saving space as well.Couple of downsides (but very minor)1. It does not have a automatic starter. Which means you’ll need a lighter or matches. SIDE NOTE… they do make models with the automatic starter.2. The fuel canister is small. Meaning that if your out more than 8 days, youll either want to go with a larger canister (which will not fit in the Jetboil) or carry a couple extra small canisters. My buddy had the large canister and it never ran out over a course of 16 days.

Very Very Nice!!
Really enjoying this little device. You can use the burner part to cook on. The clip on base is very stable. For my part, I only use it to boil water then pour into bowl or cup to make soup, meals, coffee, tea, or purify water. repacks nicely. No washing required that way. Just your bowl or cup. I do put the fuel canister into a bag before packing it. Yes, I know, its propane. But still, old habits. Putting my fuel canister inside a drinking water container. It just make me feel better and it cuts down on noise.

Excellent backpacking stove
I am a fan of Jetboil in general. I own a GCS (Group Cooking System, the original stove unit with a 1.5 liter pot) and a PCS companion cup. I purchased this Zip for my teenage son who – along with me – is an avid backpacker, and a Boy Scout and Venturer, so that he could have his own stove and cup unit. After reviewing his, I actually prefer his stove.The Zip is a somewhat stripped down and smaller version of the PCS with a slightly smaller cup (0.8 liter instead of 1.0 liter) and the stove does not have a built-in push-button igniter. It stores into a smaller package (the fuel canister, stove and stabilizer all nest into the cup), and weighs a bit less without the auto-ignition of the larger models. After having used both, I prefer the stove that needs a match to light. The auto-igniter on my much older PCS still works but like all mechanical push-button starting systems, it will eventually fail. When that happens I will probably buy a Zip style stove to pack into my 1 liter PCS cup.This is by no means an ultralight stove, so hardcore ultralight backpackers will want to skip this item. But for those who like using the iso-butane fuel stoves may like this model. It is smallish, generally lightweight and eliminates the need for a separate cooking vessel. And if you are backpacking or cooking solo, you don’t need a plate or bowl either, just cook and eat right out of the cup!The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is that I found that the lid will not stay on very well when the unit is all packed up. If you pack the items in as intended by the manufacturer the top of the fuel canister cap will not allow for the lid to be pressed down completely. The fix for this is to simply leave the cap from the fuel canister at home (added bonus, reduces overall weight by 0.1 oz or so).These are easy to set up, easy to use and cook FAST with pretty excellent fuel consumption. One fuel canister was more than enough to cook hot breakfasts and dinners while spending 5 days and 4 nights in the Smoky Mountains during Thanksgiving, along with one or two small weekend trips after that. Especially if most of your backcountry cooking is boiling water to rehydrate and reheat food and drinks.As a Scoutmaster, I recommend a Jetboil unit to any of my Boy Scouts who have started backpacking and enjoy it. Due to price, I don’t recommend buying this for your very first backpacking trip. Not because of the unit itself, but if you try something once and don’t like it, that’s a fair chunk of change to drop for equipment you might only use once. Been backpacking before and decide you enjoy it and want to keep going? Pick one of these up.If you pick up the accessory French press kit (or just boil water and use the instant or teabag style packages), it also makes a great tool for the adult Scouter who wants his hot tea or coffee on those monthly camp outs.

Super fast boil
The Jetboil Zip Camping Stove Cooking System is a fantastic companion for any camping trip. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to pack and carry, while its efficient heating capabilities will have you boiling water in just a few minutes. The well-designed cooking cup, complete with a built-in cozy, will keep your food or drink warm and comforting. I highly recommend the Jetboil Zip for anyone seeking a reliable and convenient camping stove that will make your outdoor adventures even more enjoyable.

Lowest priced JetBoil. Well worth the cost.
The JetBoil Zip has been around a while, and is the lowest cost JetBoil out there.I already have the JetBoil Sol Aluminum and have been loving it. But for my wife’s emergency pack, I wanted a JetBoil as well. Looking at the various models, the JetBoil Zip was the least expensive, so at the risk of missing some features, I picked one up on Amazon.The Zip is really not that different from the Sol, except that it’s missing the piezo igniter and the fuel regulator.Is this a problem? Not really. You can use a lighter with the Zip to ignite it, and the regulator isn’t particularly valuable if you’re just boiling some water in reasonable temperatures.Overall, I think the Zip is a great buy, and while still not cheap, much lower cost, with all the advantages of any other JetBoil.I clocked the boil time at for about 0.7L of water at 2:41. Certainly enough to get a good 15 boils out of it. Which is plenty good enough for 5 days of 3 water boils per day.The gas canister stabilizer, the stove piece, the cap, and the protection cover/cup are all it comes with, but that’s really all you need. The stove adaptor is a waste anyway as you wouldn’t really use a JetBoil as a stove unless it was a real emergency. It’s just not really designed for cooking.Boiling water in colder temperatures (heck, even cooler temps) will mean that you won’t get all of the fuel out of an LPG gas canister, but it’s more than adequate for emergency water boiling use.With well over 30 stoves, from alcohol, to white gas, to kerosene/diesel, to butane, to LPG, as well as some wood burning stoves, all lined up in my garage and well used, there’s no question that there isn’t a stove on the market right now that compares to a JetBoil (zip/flash/sol) or MSR Reactor, when it comes to total weight (including fuel) to 1 week’s usage.Alcohol stoves are lighter, but a week’s worth of fuel will make the weight considerably higher than a JetBoil and 100 gram canister. multi-fuel stoves are the heaviest of the lot. And while wood burning stoves are lighter when you get to two weeks, the problem with those are supplies needed to clean them, time required to clean them, and inefficiency in setting up, boiling, and putting away, which makes through hikes just a little more of a hassle.So if you’re just getting into camping, and are on a budget, get the JetBoil Zip (and make, tea/coffee/hot chocolate, instant soups and ramen, dehydrated food, or oatmeal). Most folks new to backpacking tend to want to avoid spending a lot of time cooking, and a hot drink that’s ready so fast that it’s just 5 minutes from the time you think of it to the first sip, is much more important than the ability to simmer a stew. Trust me on this.

It’s okay….
Flame keeps dying out. It’s difficult to lock into place it has to be right on the mark. The lid gets too hot to remove and fell off when I was straining water.I like my primus better
