How fast does the Jetboil Zip boil water?

Jetboil rates it at about 2 minutes for 0.5 liters, using the FluxRing heat exchanger and the lid on.

Does the Jetboil Zip have an igniter?

No. It lights with a match or lighter, unlike the Flash and MicroMo, which have push-button igniters.

What comes in the box?

The stove and 0.8-liter cup, a drink-through lid with spout and strainer, a bottom cover that works as a measuring cup and bowl, and a fuel cartridge stabilizer.

Can I simmer with it?

Only roughly. The valve gives coarse control, so it is best for boiling water and simple rehydrating rather than real cooking.

How does it compare with the Jetboil Flash?

The Zip is simpler and lighter but lacks the Flash's igniter and its more precise regulated burner, so the Flash handles cold and low fuel better.

What fuel does it use?

A standard threaded isobutane-propane canister, seated in the included stabilizer.
