Jetboil Camping Stoves & Cooking Systems
Jetboil redefined backcountry cooking with its integrated cooking systems, designed for incredible speed and efficiency. The Jetboil camping stoves collection at Kathmandu is built for ultralight hikers, fast packers, and adventurers who need to boil water or cook a quick meal rapidly with minimal fuel usage. Jetboil systems feature the FluxRing technology, which captures and focuses heat, allowing water to boil in a fraction of the time compared to conventional stoves.
From the super-compact Zip model to the versatile Flash and MiniMo systems, Jetboil provides an all-in-one solution that nests everything inside the cooking cup. This makes them easy to pack, simple to use, and essential for making a hot drink, rehydrating meals, or quickly boiling water for sterilisation on any trail or campsite.
Rapid Boiling with FluxRing Technology
The Efficiency of the FluxRing
The core of every Jetboil system is the patented FluxRing. This is a ring of highly efficient fins integrated into the bottom of the cooking cup. These fins maximise the surface area exposed to the flame, dramatically reducing boil times and cutting down on the amount of fuel you need to carry—a major benefit for multi-day treks.
Integrated & Packable Design
Jetboil systems are famous for their all-in-one design. The fuel canister, burner, and stabilizer can all be stored neatly inside the main cooking cup. This compact, nested design saves crucial space and weight in your backpack, making the unit incredibly easy to transport and quick to set up.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How fast does a Jetboil typically boil water?
The Jetboil Flash model can typically boil 0.5 litres of water in around 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) under ideal conditions, making it one of the fastest on the market.
What is the benefit of the Jetboil MiniMo system?
The MiniMo features a wider, shorter cooking cup, making it easier to eat out of and more effective for simmering and cooking actual food, rather than just boiling water for rehydration.
What kind of fuel does Jetboil use?
Jetboil stoves use a mix of isobutane and propane gas in lightweight canisters. This fuel blend performs better in colder weather than standard butane.
Are Jetboil systems safe to use inside a tent?
No. Stoves should never be used inside a tent or enclosed space due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire. Always cook outside or in a well-ventilated vestibule.
