Jetboil Genesis Basecamp Camping Stove

I have used this stove on several "light weight" scout trips, which are mostly canoe trips. This stove works great for cooking for a small to medium sized group. Easy to adjust flame controls, which make cooking easier. On windy days, the burner will tend to blow out. It does come with a shield but it doesn't offer much help in stronger winds. Easy to clean and its compact size makes it ideal for canoe trips. This is not a lightweight stove, but a compact 2 burner stove that can be more easily packed.

very nice stove, handy, very portable, working great. Easy to adjust the flame.

I recently returned from a weekend camping trip and had the opportunity to use this. I am thoroughly pleased. This was perfect for cooking up steaks for my wife and I. The heat on the pan was evenly distributed and easily adjusted. I highly recommend.

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.

Awesome product

The stove is easy to pack that is it's big plus. The burner adjustment is another. Both burners "idle down" very well. Yes, the flame propagation isn't uniform all around the burners when on very low settings but that is a minor announce and can be dealt with. The OEM provided windscreen is a joke so buy yourself some folding aluminum ones and ( I bought two) and that works very very well with the two burners. Fuel consumption is a bit more troublesome if you plan on using both burners at the same time frequently and as you go up in altitude. Spent a week at 9500' this past week and when cooking for 4 people, we were going through 1, 1lb can every day and a half. That adds up so beware. If you have the room, and you'll be at "base camp" for a week or so, if possible bring the 20 pounder and you'll be fine, if you have room of course. My plan now is to bring one of my old MSR's and some fuel (Which I have for the lantern anyway) as a back up as the last day I had to borrow a neighboring campers 1 pounder in case I ran out of fuel. Which I did btw just after I made 6 cups of water hot for coffee and oatmeal! Was able to let him have his full canister back but after having gone through 3 full canisters and running on empty on #4, I have now learned that it needs to have more fuel available on the longer high altitude trips if cooking for more than one or two campers. And that sort of cuts into the benefit of the compact design! Weighs about the same as my old 2 burner Coleman but when you add the fuel you'll need that advantage starts to shrink Other than that, I like the stove very much. High heat output and great controllability of the burners makes it a nice addition to the base camp kit.

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.

Love this stove !! The simmer is great ! I like to cookie different grains and pastas so this is great for the simmer! Extremely compact and easy to clean. The one thing I will say is that I have struggled to consistently cook rice on this due to me not being able to see or track where the knob is for the summer. It’s a little difficult to tell what “low heat” really is but that can be figured out with trail and error! Was this worth the $250 I paid when this went on sale? I’d only say yes because of the flexibility and the little about of space this thing takes up in my truck. As an engineer, I approve this design! Very well made. The windscreen isn’t the best, I personally would us aluminum, a few sheets of roof flashing and something to cut with should work well!

La mejor estufa para overlander, pase por 4 estufas, hasta que llegue a esta, al 100

The flame control is fantastic. The whole system packs down small for car camping. It’s a very well built and easy to set up. I’ve added a half gen to give me an extra burner and it works perfectly.

Works great for camping.

Muy buena.

Love this - it does burn through the fuel though - which is probelmatic on longer trips.
