Just picked up the Genesis Basecamp Stove by JetBoil. Haven't used it yet, but have heard good things.
Thought I'd share some photos in case others are considering. I got just the stove and picked up the optional frying pan. Note, for those interested, they do sell a "system" which includes the frying pan, a huge pot and a strainer as well. But I got a really good deal on just the unit itself (30% off a brand new unit) so I jumped on it.
Also note that their regulators have had issues in the past, but it comes from when you flip the regulator upside down while trying to attach a propane bottle. There is a safety mechanism that kicks in and stops the flow of propane inside the regulator if it is flipped or falls off a table.
Anyway, here are some photos. Feel free to ask questions about the unit itself if you like, just know that I haven't used it yet and I'm sure there are other folks here on the forums who have that can chime in on questions about using it.
New in the box, with additional frying pan that nests inside the case on top of the unit.
The carrying case. The entire unit fits in this small case. This would include the large pot and strainer if you opted for those accessories. They all nest together.
Unzipping the bag reveals the unit which folds over onto itself.
Once out of the bag it simply unfolds to reveal two burners. 10,000BTU
The 10" frying pan has handles that swing out for use, and back in for storing
One of the two burners showing the spark source for the igniters. No need for matches or lighters.
A closer look at the igniter lever which allows you to generate a spark. It is a simple flick lever. Each burner has it's own.
The Genesis Basecamp comes with a wind deflector which honestly seems kind of sketch, but we'll see when I use it. No contempt prior to investigation.
So that's it. Hope you liked the photos. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll try and remember to come back to this thread to update after we've used it.
