Pro Tip for the JetBoil Flash

I love the Jetboil flash cooking system. This product has been around a while, and is popular with backpackers, hikers, and campers. If you are not familiar with it, this small, portable, stove can boil a couple of cups of water in a few minutes. It works great for coffee, tea, and instant meals that need boiling water. Just remember to keep the fuel canister warm.


If you leave the fuel outside on a cold night, you have great difficulty lighting the burner the next morning. Nothing worse the than starting the day with frustrated and without coffee. To avoid this, I put the fuel canister in the bottom of my sleeping bag. Body heat will keep it warm so that in the morning you get your coffee without waiting. You can also, put it under you arm pit a minutes to warm it up. Works everytime!f
