- Obviously, there are some subjective elements to selecting the best camping stove for your van, RV, or camping setup. But, I think the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp will check a lot of boxes, but is it enough to warrant the price?

11:24 Why I Chose The Jetboil Genesis Basecamp
A good way to carry those little green bottles is with a section of 4" PVC sewer pipe. Glue a permanent cap on one end and a "cleanup fitting" on the other. The bottles fit nicely and you can easily carry as many as you need by cutting the pipe to the correct length. What I have seen on boats is to have the CO fitting facing down when mounted to your rig so the bottles will slide out. Good luck!
This sounds great! I'll have to check it out. Thanks
I've been using cast iron pans on my induction cooktop for the last decade. Cast iron and induction are a match made in heaven.
The Jetboil does look like a very nice stove for camping though.
That's really good to know. Never tried it, so I will have to give it a go now!
I've really liked the jetboil.
Nice job.
I don’t know who told you you can’t use cast iron with an induction cooktop but whoever it was lied to you. I do it almost daily.
Good to know!
I understand that you cannot use the Jetboil gas cans with the Genesis Basecamp. That would mean that it would not work in low temps, say 5 degrees Celsius. What do you think?
Yes, the jetboil backpacking fuel uses a LP/butane mix to help performance in cold temps. Those stoves are designed for a backpacking scenario where the fuel would be exposed to the elements mroe then let's say in a overlanding/van situation. I have cooked with lp gas in cold situations with no issues. And I have cooked with this burner at -3c (26f) before with no issues. That's my personal experience tho, and will let you know if issues arise!
The best fuel cylinder for the set up is a 5 pound refillable propane tank. There are two different ones available. One starts with an FL and the other one starts with an ig. The FL one is the cheapest. And the ig one is about twice the price, but it comes with a case and a little adapter hose. I have the ig one and I pretty happy with it. It works really good with this stove. I have to abbreviate the brand names because if I list the brand name youtube will delete the comment. They don’t like you listing brand names, in comment sections for some reason.
Thanks for the value add comment! Yes I know the ones you're talking about and I'm happy to hear they work great. They are on my list to personally pick up for my setup.
🤨 Did I miss something, why choose the jet boil over the GSI? Just because it is a kit? You can buy a lot of nesting camping pots for extra $300 you spent on the Jet Boil.
Because of the size and storage. Yes, GSI actually has a lot of good kits for cheap I mentioned in the video. Great solution, and would be my #1 if I didn't have the Jetboil.
how well does the genesis heat up a cast iron skittle?
I use a 10 inch cast iron skillet all the time with great results.
I've read about alot of issues with gas leaks, loose connections and rattling, have you experienced any problems
Personally I have not. Everything seems to be fitting snug. I have a detector in my van and it hasn't gone off once. I cook outside as much as possible, but have done about 10 meals inside and havnt had any issues with leaks.
@rileyclarkfineart right on! Thank you! You just can't beat that compact design I gotta get one soon
@TempleMuayThai it really is awesome. For me, the pot is a bit big for solo cooking but I get it's that big so the burners fit inside. It's been absolutely amazing tho! I'll keep an eye out on the concerns you mentioned and will report back if anything comes up.
The lid is only for the 5L pot and will melt if used on the skillet
Yes you are correct. I have used the lid on lower hear situations with no issues but it shouldn't be used when cooking on skillet. I definitely miss spoke on the video here. It's great for keeping food warm!
You can refill the 1lb propane tanks yourself very easily. RUclips it.
They look good but are str8 up rip off
Just buy Japanese counterparts like Snowpeak that are 100x better in build quality than that overpriced pos
Weird - didn't see anything on Snowpeak website that would compete with the jetboil genesis
