Best Jetboil backpacking stove systems

Top pick: Jetboil Flash — the classic all-in-one: pot, burner and insulated sleeve lock together, it boils fast, and it's light enough for solo trips. The best starting point if you want one system that just works.

Who the others suit:

• MiniMo — a wider pot and better flame control, so it simmers and handles real cooking, not just boiling water.
• MicroMo — the lightest of the full-featured ones; for fast-and-light hikers who still want a regulated burner.
• Stash — the ultralight choice when every ounce counts; titanium burner, nests into its own pot.
• TrailCook 1.2L — for two people or meals that need a bigger pot.
• Zip — the simple, budget-minded starter system.

Skip the bare canister stoves if you want a system: they're lighter but you supply your own pot.
