JETBOIL- Stash Cooking System

THE GREAT OUTDOORS: light, compact, efficient

I've been using this stove and pot combination for over a year, and it's now a firm favorite. On this trip, it worked fine when the temperature was just below zero and it had been left on the ground on the open porch overnight. It's not very wind-resistant so I had a foil windscreen with me but I didn't need to use it as the porch door kept off the occasional breeze. My evening meal required a little simmering, and with the flame turned down the stove managed this without The food sticking even though the flame control isn't as precise as on some other stoves. I used a fire steel to light the stove as it doesn't come with an igniter - not a drawback in my view as these often break so carrying something else to light a stove with is wise. I expect the Stash will come with me on many more trips.
