Can the two burners be used at the same time?

Yes. Each burner has its own control and its own 10,000 BTU output, so you can simmer on one and boil on the other.

What fuel does it use?

It runs on a 16.4 oz propane canister through the included fuel regulator. The canister is sold separately.

Is it light enough to backpack with?

It weighs 9.1 lb with the cookware, which is heavy for backpacking. It is better suited to car camping and basecamps.

What comes in the box?

The two-burner Genesis stove, a 10-inch ceramic nonstick fry pan, a 5 L FluxRing pot with strainer lid, a windscreen, a fuel regulator and a carry bag.

Can it be expanded with another stove?

Yes. The JetLink connection lets you attach other JetLink-compatible Jetboil stoves, sold separately, to build a larger cooking range.

How does it handle cold weather?

Jetboil rates it to perform down to 20°F (-6°C).

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Genesis as a serious group stove: they like the two independent burners, the simmer control and the fact that the whole kit packs into the pot. The main complaints are weight and the bulk of the propane canister it needs.

What people mention

Burner controlPraisedOwners say the flame adjusts from a gentle simmer to a fast boil without scorching food.
WeightCriticisedAt about 9 lb packed, it is seen as a car-camping stove rather than a backpacking one.
PackingPraisedThe burners fold and nest inside the pot, and the whole kit fits in the carry bag.
FuelMixedThe 16.4 oz propane canister works well but is bulky to transport and is not included.
CookwareMixedThe included fry pan and pot are useful, though the nonstick coating scratches if handled roughly.
