Genesis Basecamp Backpacking and Camping Stove Cooking System with Camping Cookware

Well made and solid construction with high end materials. Burners have a wide range from very low, for simmering to extremely hot for boiling. The kit packs down nicely into a well made storage bag. This is an excellent item for tent / car camping and also for RV use. The Genesis system can use propane in either the 1# bottles or the smaller growlers all the way up to 20# cylinders which makes the unit very versatile. The boil time for water is very quick, depending on size of pot being used, but for tea kettles for coffee, you are taking a few minutes. The only downside to the system is price, as it is costly for a camp stove. But, again, it is a quality made product. As the saying goes, “buy once cry once” and you’ll be happy with the unit as it is built like a tank.

I have used this stove a few times since purchasing it. Here are a few thoughts.Pros1. It is very compact and easy to transport. Takes up very little packing space. I actually take it with me when I go on day fishing trips and I can easily take it out and make lunch on my tailgate.2. Easy to control the heat. The knobs for gas control make it very easy to control the flow and thus the heat very precisely.3. It is very well made. My buddies all have the Coleman stove that is similar and now are drooling over this.4. I haven’t yet found the need to, but it is expandable.Cons1. I actually read this before buying it and found that with the stove directly in the pots it actually can scratch and damage the pots, so I followed one bit of advice and just put an old dish towel in around the stove to protect the pot.2. The windscreen is a little difficult to use and I feel as though it might just blow away in the wind it is trying to block.Other observations1. One other camper that I was with last weekend made the comment that you can’t put a griddle on it like you can a Coleman two burner stove or a camp chef. My response to that was, if I am going to be cooking for enough people that I really need a griddle like that, then I will just bring my camp chef. Otherwise, when cooking for myself and my family of 5, this works perfectly. It was never intended to compete with the camp chef line of stoves anyway.

I absolutely love this Genesis stove set from Jetboil. Added a Luna Satellite so that I could also hook up my Jetboil Flash that I have had for 15+ years to the Genesis and use propane. Works great, with flame control and excellent heat output for cooking and/or re-heating. The weight is for car camping (not backpacking). The stove and pans are compact and so easy to use!

Hands down the best camp kitchen money can buy. flame control is amazing. packs up small. heats up fast and over all amazing quality.

The genesis stove system is great! Love how it simmers and brought a full pot of water to boil in 7mins.And the vendor support was wonderful, we received our order and there was slight damage to the pot and stove lip.I sent a message through Amazon to the vendor to request a replacement, and they responded immediately. Within 2 weeks we had shipped back the defective unit and got our new one, in great condition.I will say that we have concerns about the stove causing wear and tear nested in the pot. I put a thin felt liner to protect it, that was the only thing that surprised me about the design. We are also going to order a 3rd party windshield, we tested the flexible one it came with and it’s fine on the pot side where the heat traps but on the pan side the heat flows out and already warped the plastic.Overall, really excited for this unit as part of our car camping routine. It just checks the boxes we were looking for and upgrades the outdoor experience.

I like it, but I gotta be honest....I think its over priced. I'm the type that is typically ok paying higher dollars for higher quality and this still just feels a bit overpriced to me.It does work well, seems to heat up any pan I throw at it quickly and brings my kettle to a boil pretty fast. It just feels fragile or something, and nothing too special. Give me a season/year and maybe I'll come back and remove this part of my review and up it that last star.Other reviews have pointed it out already, but the wind screen is pretty janky. I don't mind that it's cheap flimsy plastic, because it does its job without taking up much space. Installing it just feels like such a cheap experience though. The tabs don't snap in well and I feel like I'm going to break it every time I use it.

We love this for camping! We did find that the skillet didn't heat all of the way to the edge of the pan, so we ended up buying extra ones. The pot is great though and doesn't take long to get to a rolling boil. Also, small propane canisters seems to last awhile on this. Our last trip was four days and we only used one canister. Would recommend!

Big fan. I had a 20 year old (wonderful) Coleman Stove that I loved. It still works, and I gave it to a friend. No shade to Coleman. But I'm so happy with this new one. It cooks evenly and you can turn down the flame really low so you don't get scorch marks. It also is efficient (uses very little fuel), so I was able to use it over a long camping trip to cook for 20 folks a day and used only three small tanks. It's easy to use, lightweight, compact, and stable. Yeah, it's expensive, but it if lasts 20 years like the Coleman did, it's worth it.

Pagas el diseño y lo práctico para su trasporte y uso. (Pues es más caro que la competencia) se ha usado una vez al momento. Viene con olla y sartén en cuales entran y funcionan como funda aunado a su bolsa de traslado para que no se maltrate.Funciona con tanque standar de 16 OZ. Él columna verde para ser exacto.trae encendedor., 2 flama muy buenas que pueden funcionar a la par. Trae su regulador Rígido. Se puede conectar a un tanque de 10 kg con manguera/ adapador(se vende por separado)Es de recalcar la velocidad con la que calienta esto sobre todo con las ollas y sartén que incluye( pues son especiales para dicha base).Trae el puerto jet link en el cual puedes conectar otra estufa de la misma marca o en su defecto una extensión de la misma marca con un quemador que se llama luna(se vende por separado) pero que desgraciadamente solo es para productos jet Boil, igual se vende acaparador para sentar ollas estándar.( se vende por separado todo)Recomendado si.Caro claro y mucho. Pero hasta el momento consideró que vale la pena. Veremos durabilidad etc.

Recién sacada del empaque venía abollada la hoya del jetboil; es muy cara como para que venga dañada, no recomiendo comprar aquí

We’ve had a jetboil for years (amazing), and decided to shell out the ridiculous amount for the Genesis. Worth it. Seriously worth it.I’d bring a different thicker pan for meat, and DON’T cook eggs in either the pot/pan (nightmare to clean).Where it shines is boiling multiple L of water in record time. Also, light / compact for car camping - I wouldn’t lug it up a mountain.So glad we bought it … selling our Coleman. I can pan dry meat … no point in “grilling” on a Coleman.

The overall design of jetboil looks amazing and feels high quality, unfortunately I cannot speak the same for the regulator provided by the company. After 1 use it stopped working. And now I have an extremely overpriced unusable stove. I understand technical issues can happen but on researching reviews it is a very common issue which many customers have faced. To make it more disappointing customer service haven't had any sympathy after only 6 weeks of owning and have refused service options as they state they don't have service centre in UAE, even though the device was shipped from authorised seller. Overall the experience for such an expensive product has been very disappointing and would not recommend.

This thing is absolutely amazing. When they say non stick they actually mean it.
