Jetboil HalfGen Basecamp Camping Cooking System

I live in SW Florida, we purchased this stove to put in our “Hurricane Preparedness Box”, it is so nice, I expect we will use it more often than that!The stove is well made, nothing looks or feels cheap, the fry pan is non-stick and about 9” in diameter, large enough to cook breakfast for two. I also brought the optional “Dutch Oven” in which we could cook pasta or soups.The stove works on 1# propane bottles that are inexpensive and are available at most hardware and big box stores.It’s a classy looking kit that requires no assembly and the whole unit fits nicely in the sturdy nylon case. A larger case comes with the Dutch oven and holds that along with the stove and the cooking base.I don’t expect this is what you would want for tent camping or hiking, but it would be great as an extra burner for holiday dinners or as a chaffing dish.There is also a cool feature that allows you to attach several units together!I highly recommend this stove.

The half gen stove is a must for car camping. I even use it outside at home while I’m grilling. The flame control is amazing. You can use the green propane bottles but I prefer to use the ignik gas growler which us refillable (more cost efficient and less waste because the green propane bottles are not refillable)Just like cooking on my stove at home. Doesn’t take up a lot of space and I like that it comes in its own storage case. If you want you can also attach one of your other Jetboil stoves to it with a hose link.It’s well worth the money.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Changed my whole packing experience!! Great product, absolutely recommended!

This is a good stove, it's a great stove. The pan is such a great addition except for the handles. First time in my life and decades of camping where I had handles attached to a pot/pan. The handle was always separate from the pot/pan and that is not the case with this pan. If you're not careful you will melt the handles, I wish the handle was separate. There should also be a lid to go with the pan. I had to buy a lid and you're just hoping it fits right. The lid I bought is close enough but I wish it fit better.

This spoils water very fast. You can't beat the heat level control of the knob. Ignition works flawlessly. Easy to clean. Not heavy. The non-stick surface works great. The lip on the pan makes it possible to use it to pour drip coffee without dripping itself. Easy to stash. Used it daily for 2 months with zero problems. I originally bought the double burner but that will be good for larger groups. This is great for a single person or two. High quality construction and thought. I just use the joke of a wind barrier inside the zip bag case to keep it stiffened around the edges, which makes it easier to put the stove back in. The propane connector works great, I haven't had any leakage. I check the connection at the bottom between the connector and the stove whenever I screw the propane bottle in to the top end. I disconnect the bottle every time.

We LOVE our Jet Boil products!!! They are super reliable and easy to transport/use anywhere!!!

Very nice product! I don’t take camping but cook outdoors with it to avoid smells inside the house. We also take to picnic areas. The turndown feature lets me cook at any heat I want. Our 2 burner camp stove of a different manufacturer doesn’t turn down like this one and lowest heat is just too much. This has been a great addition to our grill and smoker.

I actually hesitated to buy the stove because of its expense, but it’s been completely worth it. It has been exactly what I hoped for.. the burner adjustment valve is extremely versatile and helpful. You can quite literally wind it down to where it almost goes completely out, and then with a few turns it’s on full blast and boils stuff in seconds! Very well-built and sturdy; it even has a very functional windscreen.
