Was this written by AI? It's bizarre and useless.

I'm afraid not, even if 100% of all human marketroids could be easily replaced by LLMs nowadays. Marketroid people were always this bad...

I'm interested in this for sea kayaking expeditions. Just one problem, I've no idea what I've read.

There is a jetboil vid up on YouTube with an excessive overuse of the word 'super' in it that shows the system working.

The headline we've all been waiting for

In reply to olddirtydoggy:

It's not that hard: a twin-burner stove that folds up and nests with its pans.

I did wonder whether 'expanding global reach' was a euphemism for "punting kit into European markets to avoid Trumps' tariffs"...

Love the UKC disclaimer at the start “we didn’t write this drivel”!

Hard to read. Hard to understand. Hard to carry in your pack. Hard to agree with you Capt.

Yea, I'd just take my normal jetboil and 3.7 l of wine

And hard to cough up £400 for a picnic stove. I nearly fell off me perch!

For anyone considering buying one of these stoves be aware that there were issues in the US with the propane version of the regulator according to the many reviews on jetboil.com. It has been converted to isobutane for the UK market. Jetboil has not and according to Burton Mccall will not be shipping any spare regulators to the UK. I'd have hoped for better support on a premium product.

If this was written by a person they need firing. If it was written by AI, please turn off at the wall.

OK, if you think you're so smart, where do I put the bbq coals?

I bought one in Canada to use for three of us on a remote canoe trip a few years ago.  It worked perfectly and the weight was only a factor on portages and there were plenty of heavy things to swear about.  Very easy to cook on.

Having heard of the regulator issues, I packed a spare one and never needed it.
