![]() The burner itself weighs 60 grams and folds down neatly. The pot complete with lid and handle weighs 140 grams. Unlike other Jetboil stoves the pot doesn’t have an insulating sleeve, again to save weight. It’s wider than tall (12 x 8.25 cms), which I really like as it makes it easier to use as a bowl or mug, and better for stirring food than the tall narrow pots found on most Jetboil stove systems (for this reason my favourite up until now has been the MiniMo, which also has a wide pot). The 800ml pot is made from hard anodized aluminium and comes with a fold-out insulated handle and a plastic lid with pourer hole. ![]() This does reduce wind resistance but also makes it easier to remove the pot from the burner – no twisting the housing to unlock it, just lift it off. Instead, the pot just fits onto the serrated arms of the burner. In particular the hefty plastic collar that links the burner and pot has gone. Jetboil has achieved this by simplifying the design and reducing the weight of components. At 200 grams it weighs 40% less than the previous lightest models, the Zip and MicroMo (both 340 grams), whilst having the same size pot. So I’m really delighted that Jetboil’s new model, the Stash, is the lightest Jetboil stove system by far. I’ve always liked the Jetboil system except for one thing – the weight. It was a great success, being convenient and easy to use as well as fast boiling and fuel efficient, and there are now half a dozen Jetboil stove system models. Jetboil launched the first stove system combining a burner with a pot with built-in heat exchanger nearly twenty years ago.
