***UPDATE/WARNING 1/6/2024: I wouldn't buy the Kmart Heat Exchanger Stove. I had to return mine due to safety concerns and the fact that after a few months of not using it, the stove developed severe rust all over the piezo starter button, and no longer would set an ignition spark. Also, the adjustable valve no longer allowed gas to go through to the burner head which now rendered the stove useless. Unfortunately, I didn't film this, however I've never seen anything like this occur before with stoves - the orange rust was very unusual. I returned it to Kmart and received a full refund and voiced my safety concerns over this product. Take this with a grain of salt, but your call if you purchase this product. If you really want a better value heat exchange stove, and in my opinion, better quality product with more bang for buck, check out my review on this stove: ruclips.net/video/KWa_BXN7rG0/видео.html You'll love it if you're after something like this! :)
I have two of these and several of my friends have them. We've been using them consistently for a few years and haven't experienced any issues or corrosion. They are however the earlier version without the stand which I don't mind. They cost $49 but I believe Kmart has discontinued them now. Still better value than Jetboil.
Great video mate! You got lucky, I checked every box on the shelf when I bought my Ultra Hiking stove, not 1 of them had the gas bottle stand! I did like the kettle but ditched it from my kit recently as we only use the Hiking stove now and saved a little weight / room.
Thanks mate... sounds like K-mart camping thieves at it. Very strange that all the stands were missing. In any instance, if you're after one, you can buy them on TEMU for $3.95. Here's a link: share.temu.com/5cu725ogh9A
Campmaster, sounds like a character out of a carry-on Movie, what were the Kmart marketing smokin that day !! That kettle looks like a must have for me, great to pour over my 3-zeros coffee bags in the field. I reckon jackery will be packing an Explorer 1000 Pro for your review as we speak, soon grasshopper, T-Rocks 😎
I got the same unit from The Wharehouse a couple of years ago...... Love it!!!! If you buy the smaller iso canister it fits inside the cook pot as well. It's awesome, wish I had brought sooner. I had to buy the stand separately from Macpac.
Much prefer my spirit cook systems (beloved Trangia T27 and recently purchased T28 mini for day hikes/over nighters), but for those that like their gas cookers, the kmart knock off jet boil certainly does seem like a great value bit of kit. Nice review John👍
Thanks for this video as I had no idea how to use the gas burners and have always been too scared to try 😳 I’m definitely getting the camp master. I will be car camping for the first time soon and in the snow so learning as much as I can now.
No worries.... However, I would recommend that you actually DON'T get this. Please read my warning in the description. I highly recommend this instead: ruclips.net/video/KWa_BXN7rG0/видео.html
Got the stove. Piezo never worked from the start.For the price, no big deal, just use a lighter. Definitely keep an eye out for the other issues you mentioned.
Good review. I bought the hiking stove about 3 months ago and just opened it today - missing the stand and the lid... No biggy, I can live without them I suppose.
Could have got a whole campmaster stove for 25 bucks.. just as quick as their imitation jet boil but with much better flame control and way more stable.. cheaper refills too!
Yes it will fit, they are the one and same size thread... Except Jetboil gas canisters are 3-4 times the price. If you find them at kmart, buy a few of them as they are a bargain price.
No, not the 230g can, only a 100g can will. Don't know if you've read the comments, but I wouldn't purchase this product - I returned mine due to safety concerns. This is one I've reviewed recently and I recommend: ruclips.net/video/KWa_BXN7rG0/видео.html Way better value for money too. :)
Yesterday is proof that the kettle works. Please don't apologise for the "poor quality" coffee. I'm still very touch to be part of your family outing yesterday.
Even Wendy's here was an Ice-cream bar that sold soda donuts and hotdogs, they went broke in 2020. Now the proper Wendy's is opening here soon, Bring on the baconator...T-Rocks 😎
WTF? I thought Kmart went out of business. And a white person shopping there? Who knew? This feels like a time warp to the 1980s when Kmart wasn't crap. I actually bought my first dome tent at Kmart when I was 12. I used that thing til I was about 26 when the poles disintegrated. Got my first 20" dirt bike there too. I detect an Aussie accent. Is this outside the US where people get better products than US people get?

Yep I had to bring back two with the valve problems 😡
Thanks for the review.
A few mates grabbed the campmaster. Kmart got quite a few of us out camping on a budget
Cheers mate... very surprising this campmaster ultra jet, had to grab a few as gifts.

Well, I guess Campmaster is a bit better than ANKO, lol!

Great to hear... Hope yours lasts longer than mine did 😁
You may have just got a dud@@jelreviews

Thanks Paul... great value for gifts for family/friends which is what I bought these for :)
Thanks for the video, i just bought one today and didn't know how it worked
Great, glad the video helped 🙌

Oh bugger, lucky then as I was going to pop into Kmart in the last hour to get one 😅 will check the other one out. Thanks

Definitely keep an eye out for the other issues you mentioned.
I loved this video and review. Great little cooker. I’m sold. Thank you
Don't forget to read my description on this cooker... You'll be glad you did. 👍👍
@@jelreviews oh no I had already gone and got one. Yikes that’s not good
Good review. I bought the hiking stove about 3 months ago and just opened it today - missing the stand and the lid... No biggy, I can live without them I suppose.
That's a shame... Yeah, you don't really need it, but you can buy one for $3 from TEMU or AliExpress if you want.
Love mine. Get a couple as a backup they are great.
Could have got a whole campmaster stove for 25 bucks.. just as quick as their imitation jet boil but with much better flame control and way more stable.. cheaper refills too!
If it came with a pot stand to use a fry pan or another pot it be awesome
This one is much better: ruclips.net/video/KWa_BXN7rG0/видео.html
Do you know if the Jetboil canisters fit the Kmart unit. Kmart always seem to be sold out of their canisters. Cheers,
Yes it will fit, they are the one and same size thread... Except Jetboil gas canisters are 3-4 times the price. If you find them at kmart, buy a few of them as they are a bargain price.
will the gas can fit in it if you get rid of the cup?
No, not the 230g can, only a 100g can will. Don't know if you've read the comments, but I wouldn't purchase this product - I returned mine due to safety concerns. This is one I've reviewed recently and I recommend: ruclips.net/video/KWa_BXN7rG0/видео.html Way better value for money too. :)
@@jelreviews thanks for that man!!! watching it now
Yesterday is proof that the kettle works. Please don't apologise for the "poor quality" coffee. I'm still very touch to be part of your family outing yesterday.
This video was sponsored by Kmart 😂 Good value those Jetboil knock-offs and the gas is cheap as. 👍
Lol...:)
Hows it going today still boiling
Read my pinned comment. That'll answer your question 👍
Kmart still exists? Every store I remember is long gone
I'm in Australia.... K-Mart shops everywhere.
Kmart Went Out Of Business Here.
Kmart is still a juggernaut here.... people love it.
Even Wendy's here was an Ice-cream bar that sold soda donuts and hotdogs, they went broke in 2020. Now the proper Wendy's is opening here soon, Bring on the baconator...T-Rocks 😎

Yeah mate.... this is OZ Kmart. They're still very popular here with people of all colours 😁
