I have one - it's awesome. Only problem is they're like the supermodel of the stove world - a bit single purpose :D
For boiling water and ready to eat meals that just need heating it really is the Daddy.

I got the new Flash version recently, can't wait to try it out.

Impressed by size and neatness.

Woo..That's a big puppy. How stable is it once it's full of water? I presume the cup bit clips onto the rest of the cooker?

Ha Ha I love the supermodel analogy. I’m only looking at it as a water boiler I have my main Nova+ stove for more substantial meals.

I see what you mean about stability, I guess it depends on the diameter of the gas cartridge you go for. I know there is an optional support that comes with the coffee kit for it but I reckon I could make a better job of one in work.

I bought the official pot stand and feet (ripoff!). You can buy standard feet for the gas can that fits inside it from most outdoors shops for about £4. Its well worth it - when it's full it's very top heavy. (I've searched and can't find them - Chris should know).

These?: Here's an Amazon link to the official feet £17. Tiso sell the generic one, wee bit higher than the £4 mark.

The New Jetboil Flash PCS come with the feet for the gas canisters now, so they have learnt from customer feedback. The ignition part is smaller to protect it more and it now sports a colour changing side to show when it is hot.

I bought it for heating water quickly to make tea/coffee/hot drink when out and it is cold/wet etc. But also to have an extra burner for camp use. I like the compactness and the price wasn't bad either.

What the silver bit for? Ahh right it's a pot stabiliser.

so they have learnt from customer feedback.
Good to see. Top marks....hmm....perhaps not...look at the colour of it :O)


Edit: This add on for it made me laugh...this happens when marketing departments brain storm....
