GEAR | Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System Review
This is a serious bit of outdoor kit thats sturdy, capable and a true game changer for group campsite cooking. Read on for my full review of the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System.What is it?Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System RPP 399.99StockistsJetboil.co.ukAmazonFeaturesFast and efficient folding 2-burner stove5L FluxRing Cook Pot 10 ceramic-coated fry pan Carry BagWindscreenFuel RegulatorFuel Can StabiliserCompatible with standard isobutane fuel canistersOver the past couple of months, Ive had the pleasure of using the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System on several camping trips and have also used it at home. This premium all-in-one solution has proven to be an excellent cooking system, particularly well suited to families and group cooking situations.The standout feature is its oversized cookware; a 5litre FluxRing saucepan and a 10inch frying pan, which are both large enough to cater for 4 or more people in one go. Despite this large cooking capacity however, the design is brilliantly compact. Both burners, pot, pan, lid and regulator hose neatly nest into one compact kit that fits into the carry bag, making it easy to transport and quick to set up.Setting the system up is intuitive. The folding twoburner stove features a lever ignitor on each side and the controls are responsive and offer precise simmer adjustment. The ceramiccoated, nonstick fry pan and large pot are beautiful quality, making cooking hearty meals, like a spaghetti bolognese, effortless.I really liked the fact that I wasnt limited by which fuel I could use, and with existing Coleman and Primus isobutane fuel canisters, both could be used and were easily attached via the included regulator (see bottom left).The control knobs took a little getting used to, but 3 full rotations will take you from 0 to maximum flame, which means you have the ability to fine-tune the flame, perfect for when a gentle simmer is called for, or when you want to heat water fast.Downsides for me have got to be the price, and yet comparing this to similar double camping stoves isnt easy as there is nothing on the market that Ive come across that can be directly compared. Jetboil Genesis Base Camp Compact 2 Burner Cooking SystemJetboil Genesis Basecamp Camping and Overlanding StoveJetboil 1.5L Ceramic FluxRing Cook Pot for JetboilJetpower Isobutane Fuel 450 G by JetboilMost double stoves are rectangular and have two fixed burners (take a look at our review of the Primus Kinjia), increasing their bulk and requiring pots and pans to be stored and transported separately, so it feels like the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System is in a class of its own, one its very much leading.Whilst I love the FluxRing heat exchanger technology built into the bottom of the large saucepan, it felt like the frying pan should also have included a similar FluxRing design, mainly becuase the only real downside I came across, was the supplied windscreen which felt a little flimsy and awkward in use and essentially, like a design afterthought. If its proper cooking in the wild youre looking for, but you dont want something that takes up too much space, the Jetboil Genesis Basecamp is well worth investing in. If youre serious about food on your adventures and need something powerful, compact, and group-ready, this is the system to beat.The best bitsIt cooks quickly and efficientlyThe quality of the pans is excellentBeautifully clever compact designGreat fuel efficiencyHigh level of flame controlIn-built automatic ignitionRapid boiliding in the FluxRing pan, heating 1 litre of water in 3 1/2 minutesFinal thoughtsI can confidently say this is hands-down one of the best portable cooking system Ive ever used. Whether youre whipping up breakfast for the family or cooking a proper meal for a group of hungry campers, this system is built for it and whilst its not quite perfect, its very close.Jetboil Genesis Base Camp Compact 2 Burner Cooking SystemJetboil Genesis Basecamp Camping and Overlanding StoveJetboil 1.5L Ceramic FluxRing Cook Pot for JetboilJetpower Isobutane Fuel 450 G by JetboilDISCOLOSURE | We were supplied the featured product from Jetboil in return for providing our honest opinions.
