Overview
Built for basecamp cooking, this modular stove can be used on its own or connected with other JetLink-compatible stoves to expand your cooking setup. Its 10,000 BTU system is designed to bring water to a boil quickly, which is useful for tasks like melting snow or making coffee in camp. The included ceramic-coated fry pan adds a nonstick surface for preparing meals such as eggs, pancakes, and burgers, while incremental heat adjustment and a lever igniter give you more control at the stove. It also comes with a carry bag, windscreen, and fuel regulator, and is compatible with a standard 16.4 oz. propane bottle and the 5L FluxPot, sold separately.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a modular basecamp system, it can be used on its own or expanded with other JetLink-compatible stoves, so it may be more system-oriented than a simple single-burner setup.
- The package includes the stove, fry pan, carry bag, windscreen, and fuel regulator, but the 5L FluxPot is not included, so some cooking setups require an additional purchase.
- It is compatible with standard 16.4 oz. propane bottles, which is practical for basecamp use but ties the system to a specific fuel format.
- The 10,000 BTU output and quick boil time are geared toward fast heating, while the incremental heat adjustment suggests more controlled cooking than a pure boil-only stove, but still within a compact stove format.
