A 2004 Backpacker magazine Editor's Choice Award winner remains popular with backpackers, climbers.
Redefining outdoor cooking with a super heat efficient, integrated configuration, the Jetboil Personal Cooking System (PCS) offers a simple, fast, efficient solution to cooking in the outdoors. Consider it a travel mug and campstove melded into one. The set-up goes like this: pull it out of your backpack (it stores as one unit inside the cooking cup), attach the fuel canister to the burner, snap the burner to the cooking cup, and press the piezo igniter for quick lighting. It's that simple. And it's fast too. The boil time for two cups of water is just two minutes. This translates to less fuel consumption, meaning less weight carried in the pack. The Jetboil PCS relies on a series of innovative features to produce such fast boil times. First, the burner is housed in a wind-protective shroud. Next, snugly attached immediately above, the FluxRing heat exchanger and cooking cup assembly gathers nearly 80 of the available heat, doubling the heat efficiency of standard backpack stoves. Additionally, the neoprene cozy sleeve holds in the heat around the cooking cup, giving it another nudge over the competition. The cooking cup works just like a travel mug. The snap-on lid offers a drink-through spout and drip-free pouring while the neoprene cozy eliminates the need for metal pot grabbers and is comfortable to hold while eating. The Jetboil PCS stormed onto the camping gear scene in 2004 when Backpacker magazine pinned one of their prestigious Editor's Choice Awards on it. They recognized the innovation and performance found in this camping stove, just like the continuously growing group of fans who rave about it. The cooking cup that comes standard with the Jetboil Personal Cooking System works best for feeding 1-2 people. Consider purchasing a Jetboil Companion Cup for each additional person or for group situations consider converting your stove with the purchase of a Jetboil 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot and Jetboil Pot Support and Stability Kit.

Awesome Product
I have used my Jetboil from picnics to backpacking in the White Mountains. A great product that lives up to its name. Be sure to get the stabilizer kit as well.

Can't beat it!
I love this jet boil. Back packing and kayak camping has just become so much easier. I did find the fuel canisters less than ideal in really cold winter camping conditions. But I have other stoves for that. Thumbs up for Jet Boil!

Boils Water
It does what it claims, and it does that very well. It boils water. Which, in the case of backpacking means, it cooks your meals. Its a great tool and Ive thoroughly enjoyed using it on the trail. Boils water in an instant and allows for quick and easy coffee and tea making! (I love the coffee press that is available for this) Only downside is its a little low on the versatility scale for those who like to have back-country pancakes and things of that sort. But overall, a GREAT product.

AMZING PACK-ABILTY
This stove is amazing, and I love how everything fits into the JB, and the accessories are excellent design... There only flaw is the ignition system seems to break. It has gone out twice on my buddy but I have not had any issues yet....
