User Review: Jetboil Personal Cooking System

Jetboil Personal Cooking System

Price Paid: $79

I am impressed with the reviews here. So I bought one.

I love it. It is now my favorite way to prepare foods when I am hiking, backpacking (which I just started), motorcycling, and boating.

I have read several reviews that say it does not work well in above 12,000' in the cold. Something tells me that I don't have to worry about that.

Also, piece of advice. I tried a cheaper canister of fuel by Snow Peak. Not good. It only worked very poorly. It would not always give a jet style flame.
