What this is about
The Jetboil brand has many cooking sets on the market, but this Jetboil Stash is the lightest so far. In fact, the whole set weighs only 7.1 ounces (200 g), and this is simply incredible when you see all its components. Note that this is the weight without the included stabilizer that weighs 0.9 ounces (27 g).
But let’s see what exactly you have included here. So the picture below shows its all components (note that the canister is not included):
- 0.8 Liters FluxRing cook pot.
- Stabilizer.
- Titanium burner.
- Snap-on lid with spout.
- Drawstring-closure storage bag.
All these elements fit into the pot so you can easily store it in the pack, see how this looks and the dimensions:
The burner
This is a titanium construction with a 4500 BTU/h output, or 1.32 kW if you are more familiar with this system of units. In practical terms, it boils 0.5 liters of water in 2.5 minutes. Note that the burner has no igniter. The picture below shows how it looks:
You can see the simmer control that allows you to easily adjust the flame. For transportation you fold its three support arms and the bail as shown below:
The mentioned stabilizer is useful to be sure that the set is stable, its covers a much larger area than the canister itself, see how it looks:
The pot & the lid
The mentioned cooking power would not be possible without this excellent Jetboil’s signature FluxRing technology shown in the picture below. This is the bottom of the cooking pot.
With such a design, the pot connects nicely to the burner and you have efficient heating without wasted fuel. The picture below shows the view inside of the pot with the burner and the stabilizer stored for transportation. You have plenty of space to store also the canister.
You cannot see it, but there are measurement lines inside, this is useful to have when you boil water for dehydrated meals.
Below you can see how the see-through lid is designed, and its spout on one side. It increases cooking efficiency. Note that it has a molded design where the canister fits nicely when the set is closed for transportation:
The handle is available as well, it is with a silicone grip. It folds for transportation, you have already seen this in one of the pictures above. Please see a bit more in this short video:
