Jetboil Flash (JB FL)

More than just a burner

The manufacturer calls this model the most popular among tourists in the United States, and claims that Jetboil Flash outperforms its competitors in sales by an order of magnitude. In general, it is very similar to the truth, because the design of the burner is well thought out and very convenient. Firstly, the kit immediately includes a container for heating food or water - branded dishes that can be easily installed on the burner and at the same time serve as a carrying container. Secondly, piezo ignition is provided, so there are no problems with getting a flame even in windy weather. Thirdly, the design of the burner itself provides protection from the wind, and with strong gusts there is no danger that the fire will go out. Everything is done qualitatively and reliably - a really good purchase for a tourist.

Thoughtful design

The cooking container is cylindrical with a sealed lid and covered with neoprene material. Its main advantage is low thermal conductivity, i.e. it does not heat up from the contents, which means that the risk of getting burned is minimized. There are also special notches that change colour depending on the temperature of the contents of the glass. It is very convenient - I put it on fire, waited for the desired indicator, turned it off. And inside the tank, you can put all the details of the burner, up to the gas cylinder, and fix it on the backpack with the help of a special handle on the body.

For any dish

Also in the kit there are fasteners on the burner to heat not only the attached glass, but also any other utensils - pots, mugs, pans. And the burner itself is quite compact, so you can take it on a hike without a branded container.

Balloon with legs!

The gas cylinder is threaded to the bottom of the burner through a valve. But there is a very important point - a special stand is provided for the entire structure, which significantly increases its stability. Wide plastic legs are installed on the ground, and the cylinder itself is already on them, so there is no risk of the burner turning over.

The manufacturer calls Jetboil Flash a personal cooking system, and this is very close to the truth. The burner is comfortable, of high quality, all the details fit well, and most importantly, it works with pots of any size, and not just built-in ones.
