Are you new to backpacking? We take our Jetboil portable stove on every trip to boil water for our coffee and dehydrated meals. How to use: 1. Twist the burner into the propane/butane fuel can 2. Twist the nozzle until you hear the gas, then click the side switch to ignite the gas. 3. Once you have a flame, gently set the thermos into its grooves on top and immediately add your water. 4. Never heat an empty thermos, you can ruin it! 5. The water boils in minutes, and there is little to no cleanup. 6. You can also use the pot attachment to heat up your food! 🥘We have the MiniMo size which is perfect for two! Do you have any other backpacking gear questions?
