On chilly, windy, early-April mornings and evenings in camp in Arizona’s Aravaipa Canyon and calmer but still cool mealtimes on a section of the Arizona Trail along the Gila River, plus a seven-day, nearly 70-mile backpacking trip in September in Glacier National Park and a three-day hike on the 22-mile Boulder Mail Trail-Death Hollow Loop in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in early October, the Jetboil Flash did everything you want a backpacking stove to do: assembled quickly and easily, fired up immediately every time, and boiled water so fast that even our group of five hungry backpackers were content sharing just that one stove.
