Our take on the Jetboil HalfGen Base Camp System

The Jetboil HalfGen is a single-burner propane base camp stove with a built-in pot and a Teflon-coated 9.4-inch cooking surface. It runs on standard propane cylinders and weighs 3.5 lb, with a detachable handle for packing. It suits groups of three to four. It sits at the top of its recent price range, so waiting for a drop is reasonable if you are not in a hurry.

  • BuildMixedThe stove feels solid, but some worry the nonstick coating will wear over time.
  • ValueCriticisedBuyers question whether one burner is worth the price compared with cheaper camp stoves.
  • PortabilityPraisedThe detachable handle and 3.5 lb weight make it easy to pack for car camping.

Questions and answers

Is the HalfGen worth it over a cheaper two-burner camp stove?
If you want one pot, one burner and nonstick cleanup in a compact package, yes. If you regularly cook two dishes at once, a two-burner stove costs less and does more.
What fuel does it use?
It runs on standard propane cylinders, not isobutane canisters. Propane is cheap and easy to find but bulkier to pack.
How many people can it cook for?
Jetboil rates it for groups of three to four. The 9.4-inch pot is sized for one-pot meals for that many people.
What is included in the box?
The stove comes as a set with the burner and the nonstick pot, plus a detachable handle. Propane is not included.
When is the best time to buy?
It sits at the top of its recent range, so watch for seasonal camping sales before paying full price.
Where is the Jetboil HalfGen Base Camp System cheapest?
At Backcountry, for $249.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Jetboil HalfGen Base Camp System?
2 stores we checked sell it, including Dick's Sporting Goods, Backcountry.
