Jetboil Stash Ultralight Cooking System

Product detailed description

The new Jetboil Stash cooking system is the lightest and most compact system Jetboil has ever offered. The entire set, which includes an aluminum pot with a heat exchanger, a gas stove, a lid, and a stabilizing tripod, weighs an incredible 233 grams! Compared to the ZIP version, it is an amazing 40% lighter.

The core of the entire system is a 0.8-liter aluminum cooking pot. It’s designed to be very compact—neither too wide nor too narrow—so it fits easily into your backpack or, for example, into bikepacking panniers. The most essential part is the Flux Ring heat exchanger, which you may recognize from other Jetboil systems and is the main reason why these systems are so efficient.

The container has a silicone handle that folds down and locks into place very easily and cleverly, so there’s no risk of the handle folding down on its own. Of course, it also comes with a silicone lid with a spout, which has a holder for a small gas cartridge. This allows you to easily secure the cartridge inside the pot so it doesn’t move. Another handy feature is the printed instructions on the outside of the pot, which help you easily pack everything inside (tripod, stove, small cartridge, and lighter).

The gas burner itself has a titanium head and features power control, making it possible to cook even more common meals with a little skill. The pot’s stability is ensured by 3 folding legs that fit precisely into the bottom of the pot, eliminating unwanted tipping. In addition, the legs have notches so that the burner can be used with the vast majority of standard mess tins.

As for performance, the manufacturer states a boiling time of 500 ml of water in about 2.5 minutes. In our test, this manufacturer’s claim was confirmed, though we had to use a standard aluminum foil windscreen with the entire system. A huge advantage of the Stash is its efficiency; thanks to the heat exchanger used, it offers an excellent balance of performance and fuel consumption.

The Stash will be a great choice for solo trips of any kind. Unlike cooking with liquid alcohol, it can also be used in winter conditions (a cartridge with a winter mixture is required). As a primary method, it’s perfect for quickly boiling water to prepare dehydrated meals, but you can also cook more common meals in it without any major issues.
