Who's Tried The Jetboil Stash?

[Justin Crossley]

I just saw that Jetboil released a new, lighter stove called the Stash. Looks like they are available at Black Ovis for just under $100. Has anyone used one yet?

This looks interesting, I'm just no sure other than weight what I would gain at least how I typically use the flash. Boil water for food (freeze dried) and while it's hydrating make a coffee while I wait and being able to use the flash as my cup.
Curious to hear others responses as well.

I’m going to research this one some more, looking to cut some weight from the mini mo.

Don’t see any advantage over a pocket rocket and toaks pot. Roughly 2 oz and $30 less than the Jetboil.

I haven’t used it, or even seen one in person yet. If it’s as efficient/fast as the Flash - or close - I’m pretty interested even with the increase in weight over my BRS stove and Toaks pot. That price at Black Ovis is awfully tempting.

The stash is supposed to be more efficient I think.

how many quarts can a pocket rocket boil on one canister?

I can't remember but they are so slow compared to my Jetboil Sol Ti I'll never go back to one.

Here is what I use and its a superlight setup. very similar to what Jetboil is trying to do there.

Toaks titanium 750ml pot or you can use the 900ml

BRS 3000t Stove

Keiths Titanium Spork

Lighter

Snow Peak Hotlips

and 100 gram fuel bottle.

All of this fits together into the Toaks Mug put the lid on and throw it into own bag for a super lightweight setup.

How does this do in the wind?
I recently got on of the BRS 3000 stoves from Amazon and the wind seems to hamper it.
Do you utilize a windscreen or just improvise with rocks/logs?

 

[SHTF]

Improvise. I just setup where I can block the wind.

be interesting to see an efficiency comparision with the SOL Ti jetboil.

In what way? More boils per canister? Faster boiling times? I can go a week boiling water for coffee in the morning and dinner at night on a single canister with my setup. If the jetboil is 30 seconds faster who cares... not like I’m in a rush to eat. Typically I’m glassing both while drinking coffee in the morning and eating dinner at night.

I can boil enough for coffee in the morning and dinner at night for 6 days easily. And that’s at 8-10k feet elevation. I’d have to do the math to figure out total quarts.

i use my PR a lot more, cooking for two. At 10,000 i will use up a small canister before we are done. a king size canister will last the whole time [ if the temps dont get too bad ]

i carry a doubled up piece of aluminum foil for a wind screen. PR types benefit greatly with a wind screen. if you want a more durable wind screen get a disposable aluminum turkey pan at wally world and cut it to the size you need.

addendum
for flatland overnighters i usually use fuel tabs. lots of wt savings there.

Faster and more boils per canister from what I read.

 

[xcutter]

This kind of similar to the setup I already use. Works really well for me.

MSR Pocket Rocket and Oilcamp XTS Pot.

With a 4 oz or an 8 oz?

 

[archp625]

This is interesting to me at 7.1 oz. My snow peak and pocket rocket 2 is at 8.98 oz.

4 oz.
