Where is jetboil made
A rust ring can form inside the companion cup if the Jetpower canister is wet or stored while the cup is damp. Though unsightly, this rust ring will not adversely affect your cooking system's performance. To remove the rust, gently clean the cup with a non-metal scrubby, such as a Scotchbrite sponge with a mixture of baking soda and water.
To prevent the rust from re-appearing, store your Jetpower canister upside down in the cup, with the black cap on. This keeps the canister ring off the damp bottom of the cup, eliminating the cause of the problem. Fuel efficiency translates to weight, space, and money savings. Since Jetboil is up to twice as efficient as conventional stoves, you can take half as much fuel on your trip, thus saving weight. In fact, our Jetpower fuel canister, with grams of fuel, boils as much water with Jetboil as competing stoves do with their big gram canisters.
The other big benefit is space savings, since Jetpower canisters nest conveniently inside the cooking cup. Anodizing is a process by which a layer of extremely hard aluminum oxide is applied to the surface of aluminum. This layer protects food from bare aluminum and helps protect the surface from wear.
That said, even anodized surfaces eventually wear, and we recommend that you use non-metallic utensils and low-abrasion scrubbies with your Jetboil. When packing a Jetpower canister inside the cooking cup, we recommend that you dry the cup well and separate the two with a layer of cloth to prevent scratches. Keeping the fuel cap on the canister also helps reduce wear by eliminating any movement of the canister or burner base within the cooking cup.
Jetpower fuel contains a blend of propane and iso-butane. Propane provides higher vapor pressure to the fuel which means better performance in cold weather. Iso-butane provides more constant pressure as the fuel level gets low. The Jetpower fuel canister is also designed to stow conveniently within the cooking cup. Spire, Spire LX and Gonzo Grill is a patent-pending port that allows you to expand your camp kitchen and power it from a single source.

Amidst peak-bagging and trail blazing, our team of 7 exclusively used the Jetboils for all breakfast and dinner needs, from Eat-a-Bowls to Mountain House meals.
During those 4 days, we prepared meals in all kinds of weather — rain, hail, snow, sun and wind because Colorado weather, right? According to Jetboil, both stoves boast rapid boiling times thanks to the FluxRing technology and insulated container system. Rather than take these claims at face value, though, we wanted to test them for ourselves. At 7,, 10, and 12, feet in elevation, we performed a boil test, timing how long it took both the Zip and Flash to boil 16 oz of water.
Note: We did not perform this experiment through the entire lifespan of the fuel canisters as Jetboil does in their own testing. However, we did use both fuel cans equally. We also conducted this test with 16 oz of water — or 0. Timing how long it takes for 16 oz of water to boil in the Jetboil Flash. Jetboil Flash vs. Does Size Matter? What would be perfect is a Zip-sized Flash. We packed the lighter just in case, but never ended up needing it. Rarely did it take more than two flicks of the button to get it going.
Before the trip, I was convinced that I would hate the Flash, for unfair reasons. I liked it. That being said, I hate, hate, hate the regulation nob on the Zip. I agree with GreyOne that they have no right to keep the product, defective or not. It is the owner's property. If they feel that they are liable if they return it to the owner, then they should take responsible and legal action and replace the product with either a new or even refurbished one.
Spork Supporter Supporter. Wolf Scout. After reading that I can only believe that there's more to this story I've had my JetBoil for 3 years and it's still functioning perfectly I'll be the first to admit that Chinese manufacturing is crap ask me about my water cooler experience but I cannot believe this story as it's presented JMHO. West Fork Supporter Supporter. I've used it in some of the roughest mountaineering conditions and never had it let me down.
I recently rebuilt the pump and did maintenance on it after 20 years of use. Back in my heyday I used the stove every weekend in the summer and some long climbing trips in the Cascades and Canadian Rockies. Coffee was always on time, and it worked great in all kinds of conditions. Now that I'm slowing down and more interested in short backpacking trips in the sub-alpine zone, I'm thinking I might leave the gas fuel behind and try my homemade wood powered stoves.
Boy, Jetboil better take a better look at their policies. Word spreads fast! Thanks for the info. My take on the best stove out at the moment is the Optimus Omni Lite Ti, simply can't be beat. I have somewhere over a dozen stoves and the Omni Lite Ti is the king.
I still have no use for all the parts and pieces to the Jet Boil and in some conditions, a canister stove is just not effective. Nothing to fiddle with and it simply works. I have some MSR stoves and have had one since the original Model 9 and they are also great stoves. I used my Whisperlite often and the XGK on winter and mountaineering trips, all never failed. My jetboil is also the aluminum version, not the titanium one.
I've replaced the igniter once in the 6 or so years I have had it. It's seen TONS of field use. I couldn't even put a guess as to how many times I've made coffee with it or a mountain house meal.
I love alcohol stoves, and stoves in general, but in really cold temps that liquid fuel presents a pretty big liability. Frostbite is a splash on skin away. If speed and safety are a concern, I wouldn't hesitate to pick a jetboil over other types of stoves. Now, if speed isn't a big deal, and I'm not above the tree line, my personal favorite stove is the Emberlit. Comes in stainless or titanium, folds flat, and burns Wood.
A few fuel tabs or a small bottle of alcohol for a backup when wood's scarce or too wet and you've got a solid year round cooking rig in my experience. Mountainman Tracker. I think the old Jetboils were good but the new ones I would not buy.
