How do I light my Jetboil safely?

CAUTION: Always ensure burner base is stable and free of any pot prior to lighting. Gas build-up can occur, resulting in increased flame eruption. Always follow the lighting instructions in your stove's manual. Open the gas valve only slightly and ignite straight away. Don't let gas run before lighting. If the stove doesn't light within a few seconds, turn the gas off and let any gas disperse before trying again. Light your stove outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, on a stable surface. watch video

How do I avoid dry boiling?

Add water to the cup before assembling and lighting the stove. Fill to at least the minimum level marked in your cup, and no higher than the maximum fill line. Turn the burner off as soon as your water has boiled. Never leave your stove unattended while it's alight, so it can't boil dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Boil your water in the cup, then pour it into the meal pouch and follow the pouch instructions. Don't put food or pouches without water in the cup to heat them.

Fast Boil systems deliver a concentrated, high-output flame to boil water as quickly as possible. Without water to absorb that heat, food can burn and stick to the base of the cup, and the cup, its coating or the FluxRing can be damaged. The tall, narrow cup also makes stirring difficult, so food cooks unevenly.

Damage caused by cooking food in a Fast Boil cup, such as scorching, burnt residue or a damaged coating, isn't considered a manufacturing defect and isn't covered under warranty.

CAUTION: Always ensure burner base is stable and free of any pot prior to lighting. Gas build-up can occur, resulting in increased flame eruption.

Always follow the lighting instructions in your stove's manual.
Open the gas valve only slightly and ignite straight away. Don't let gas run before lighting.

Yes, but not your fuel. Gas canisters aren't permitted on commercial flights, so plan to buy fuel at your destination. The stove can usually travel in checked or carry-on luggage if it's completely free of fuel and cleaned so no vapour or residue remains. Security screeners may still confiscate stoves that smell of fuel, and some airlines don't accept stoves at all, so check your airline's rules before you fly.

Fill to at least the minimum level marked in your cup, and no higher than the maximum fill line.
Turn the burner off as soon as your water has boiled.
