JetboilGenesis Basecamp Camping Stove

The media could not be loaded. over the last 20 years, I have used 3 different camping stoves, 2 large Coleman and this one. This is by far the best of the 3 and will never go back to my other stoves.The good: This one is compact even when used with the fluxpan, easy to clean, the simmer settings feel endless, and it packs a punch when you just want to boil water quickly for your coffee/tea.The bad: As much as I love the endless heat settings, it takes a while to perfectly dial what you want. It is too heavy for backpacking but perfect for Overlanding/car camping.The ugly: None so far. Just nitpicking: The plastic windscreen is useless... Just get rid of it.I just came back for 2 back to back weeklong trips in the middle of the desert with blowing wind and this thing performed flawlessly.

I am a Scoutmaster and the Genesis Stove was purchased by our Boy Scout Troop. Most camping stoves, including our current high-end Coleman stove's do not cook well at lower temperatures. The knob goes from off to inferno. This is great if you are boiling water, but a problem when you need to cook French Toast or pancakes.On our first weekend out with the new stove, I cooked French Toast, a rice dish, and baked cinnamon rolls in a dutch oven on the new Genesis. As the advertising promised, the flame is fully adjustable (which blows my mind). It did find that the flame was not perfectly uniform around the whole circle when on the low setting. So, the French Toast didn't cook perfectly uniform. But that is a tolerable issue. All three dishes were easy to accomplish on the new stove.The stove was easy to clean, stored easily, and appears to be durable. It came with a case and a wind shield.I have one major complaint. If you attach the propane bottle to the extension before you attach the stem to the stove, then you leak a considerable amount of propane. It has a very poor gasket design. This is easily fixed by attaching it to the stove first, but none of our other stoves have this problem.Overall, if I had to purchase a stove for car camping, this would be my first choice. I say that having experience with the best stoves from Coleman and Camp Chef.

Precise flame control, very easy to disassemble, reassemble and clean. easy to transport. This is the one. Excellent engineering and design.

.... And very nice looking. I have found this is good for either a larger group or if you have to use a propane countertops stove in your kitchen for an emergency. Of time, you can use it for two pants at once, which is awesome. They heat control is without equal. The ignition works great every time. Water boils very fast. Propane can last longer because of the precision heat control. So compact and nice looking. I spent a lot but it's so easy to use that it's very worth it.

I've tried several stoves over the years. This one has a truly adjustable flame -- a rarity for camp stoves. Expensive, but by far the best I've tested.

Works great

Touted as a backpacking Stove, I'm not sure anyone on a weekend backpack trip would consider this stove for backpacking (so larger and heavy). A longer large expedition maybe... Its kinda large, solidly well buiit, and will be a great addition for our future summer and fall car and dispersed camping adventures in the PNW. It definitely will get the gourmet camp cooking job done. It will need a wind shield for sure except in fully calm conditions. All round this is a great add to my Camp setup!

I attend a large camping event every year. I have used, and seen many options for cooking in camp. I have found this one to be the best after using it this year. Efficient on propane usage, very fine adjustment on burners, does great! Highly recommend, even at the price point.
