The Jetboil Flash 1.0L has been sitting on my desk for 2 weeks. It came in early and just like in college, I waited until the last minute to jump on testing it. This unit continues the brand’s legacy of creating reliable, efficient backcountry cooking systems. Jetboil has become a staple among outdoor enthusiasts since 2001 when they were introduced and for good reason.
The Flash 1.0L excels at its primary task: Rapidly boiling water. For backcountry meals, coffee, or hot beverages, this system delivers consistently over and over again. Our last jetboil has continued to run and run for over 15 years. We do have to light it with a match which is why we jumped at the chance to test this new model. The new igniter happens with the simple twist of a knob and instantly lights. Jetboil has created a new igniter that should last for years for years and years. We especially liked the color-changing heat indicator allowing us to see when the water was ready and of course you can hear the boiling water start to roll. The outer layer of insulation keeps your hands protected and your contents hot and ready.
The entire system nests inside the cooking cup and created a compact package that is easy to pack and carry in small backpacks. I take mine on everyday hunts and have for years because when it is cold nothing is better than a cup of coffee or a quick cup of soup or a warm meal. The Jetboil Flash 1.0L is a top-tier choice for hunters, hikers and campers who prioritize efficiency and and reliability. This is the right tool for the job and it is the best Jetboil we have had the opportunity to use. There is a reason why this unit is a staple in packs all across the country.
