By the way, for adding stability to the device while cooking, my JetBoil has an orange color tripod type legs that spread out which is connected under the round propane can. The "tripod" leg can accommodate 2 different size propane cans, either the small can or larger size. The one cool thing about using the small(est) size propane can is that it fits right inside the JetBoil unit, along with the stove part too, so cool! I now have a portable backpack that contains my JetBoil Flash unit, along with the optional JetBoil pot, plus holds a few propane cans. I will use this for cooking while backpacking. For one of the propane cans, it cost extra few dollars for a small device that is designed to release the gas if you want to safely dispose of it. The REI Sports rep person told me that the store will accept the empty propane cans for recycling. By the way, the 3 strips along the JetBoil unit really does change colors to easily let you know the water is at a full boil, plus you can see the steam coming out of the top lid too. Here's a tip for those using the JetBoil pot for cooking stew/soups. I found it's better to cook soup/stew at a lower heat in order to make it more evenly cooked. Otherwise, if cooking at high flame, you will quickly see bubbles boiling up from the soup/stew, but if you try to eat it, parts of the soup/stew will be undercooked and cold. Hopefully this makes sense what I just described. Just to be on the safe side, I bought black heavy plastic containers that hold my propane cans for my JetBoil unit, and for a combination Coleman stove/grill. The inside of my van can get over 100 degrees on sunny days, so I'm a little worried that high interior heat might cause the propane cans to explode. I don't know if this is a possibility, anyone know? I'd rather play it safe. Also, the same REI Sports rep who owns a VW Vanagon told me he regularly uses his JetBoil inside his van, he simply opens some windows and has had no problems. According to this REI guy, he says because the JetBoil can boil water in literally a few minutes, there is minimal chance of carbon monoxide poisoning, just as long as you only cook for a brief time with some windows open. I tend to believe the rep, as I can attest the JetBoil really can boil water in literally 3 to 4 minutes flat. Pretty amazing actually.<div><br><div><br></div><div>Cheers, Casey</div><div><br><div><br></div></div></div>
