Jetboil Genesis Basecamp

Jetboil has always been well known for its lightweight hiking stove systems. And with its latest model, the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System, the brand made a significant entrance into the camping sector.

The idea behind this Jetboil Genesis Basecamp model is unique: it is the first all-in-one camping system. Two burners, a pan, and a pot are included, and everything nests nicely for compact storage. Apart from a 16 oz. propane container, the whole weight of the stove is below 9 pounds, which is less than practically every stove on our list. Even better, the simmer control and output of the burners are outstanding - and by catering to good storing space for their saucepans, there is minimal fuel waste.

Despite these glowing reviews, the system's $390 price tag seems excessive - particularly when compared to cheaper alternatives such as the Eureka Ignite Plus. The Ignite Plus costs only half as much (even less), has the same burning power, and is only approximately 2.5 pounds heavier. For $200, the Jetboil brand does offer the Genesis HalfGen System for people who want to consider other options. However, this model contains just one burner, and is thus less adaptable.
