Jetboil

Stash Stove

Loose Lid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good stove for lightweight backpacking. My only complaint is the lid is too loose and easily falls off. Although the handle folds over the lid it doesn't lock so it doesn't hold the lid in place. I'm searching for a replacement lid.

Clogged stove with no repair option

Bought this stove two years ago brand new. Used on two backpacking trips. Always kept clean and stored in the bag and essentially like new. Clogged on first attempt to light on a 7 day trip. Jet boil refused warranty and no option for repair, advice on disassembly for cleaning or replacement parts. I had the old sol ti for years and it worked great. A real disappointment this round.

Clogged jet after a few uses--little help

I purchased this system at the end of March for our thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. The compact, self-contained design was appealing, as was the heat exchanger on the pot which we figured would save fuel. It worked well for the first couple of weeks as long as it wasn't windy. Over the course of several days, however, its performance rapidly decreased and it eventually stopped working entirely. I confirmed that the fuel was getting from the canister and past the stove valve, so it's a clogged jet that is causing the problem. We haven't had any boil overs and have only boiled water, so I know it's not food or something in there. I have cleaned the jets on white gas stoves using a thin wire, but the design of the Stash only provides access to the jet through one of the four very small holes on the side--and my little tool doesn't fit. We have been eating freeze-dried dinners reconstituted with cold water, which is less than idea. Next time I have the opportunity, I will try to get a needle-threader (which has a very fine wire) and see if I can get it in there. I contacted Jetboil support for warranty help. They were very nice, but want me to send the product in for evaluation--which obviously isn't going to work while we're on the trail. I wish I had gone with the MSR or SOTO like everybody else on the trail.

AMAZING cook kit, but LID could be improved.

I've had this stove for about 2 years now and I love everything about it with one exception, the lid. The lid has an opening for pouring out the water but, when I try to pour the boiling water out, the lid just will not stay on the pot without an extra hand to hold it on. I always pour hot water away from me so this hasn't cause any harm, but Backpackers know the value of the time, fuel, and clean water lost when it is spilled. Jetboil, I urge you to please look into a better design of the lid, even if it comes at a weight penalty because I really love the Stash system. Thank you.

Great little stove system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the weight. Boils fast just like their other stoves. Wish it had a Piezo igniter built in.

Really like how compact this cook system is. I use it for 3 people backpacking. I’m not a fanatic about weight, but as I get older I definitely appreciate how lightweight this is. I like how is fits what I need all in a small container.

Perfect Solo Stove System

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An awesome solo stove that can do it all. If you’re looking to boil water for coffee or reheat last nights meal for breakfast this is a must for solo camping all while saving weight.

The pot is very small and really only makes 1 cup of coffee. Works well for backpacking trips where space is limited. Also, pot is only compatible with flame, cannot be used on other heat source so not versatile. I would not recommend this product if you are hoping to boil water for more than one person, but works great for one person for coffee or dehydrated meals.

I purchased this item, with the french press attachment, to take on primitive camp outings with the boy scouts. This worked perfect for what I purchased it for, which was the ability to have hot coffee in the mornings. Also took it on day backpacking trips to have a hot lunch. This item would be good for any beginner looking for a stove/pot lightweight combo.
