The Fire Maple product line has come out with a lot of products intended to be the budget Jet Boil. JetBoil is way too expensive and available at every sports outdoor store. Fire maple is mostly availble on Amazon and their website. I have not purchased Jet Boil in order to do a direct comparsion.
I bought the Fire Maple 6 3 and added the micro presure rice cooker off of Amazon. I have been pleasently surprised with how good these products are. The customer service is also outstanding as I damaged the pot and rice cooker on accident. They sent me a replacement unit within a matter of days, like 2 days really.
Fast Solo Boils in One Compact Pot.
Built for solo backpackers who mostly boil water, the 600ml Petrel G3 combines a heat-exchanger base, 5.7 oz carry weight, and storage for a 4 oz canister. Three base slots align with compatible 120° three-arm stoves.
“A very good product. It also offers excellent value for money. I also have the MSR, but there is no difference between the two that satisfies my desire to own it”- Customer Testimony
I’ve obviously just started getting serious about camping and outdoor equipment. But so far I’ve used this to heat up water for coffee and tea, I made some vegetables in it but it took a while. I’m really a big fan of their products, I own more of them so look forward to the reviews.
Faster Solo Boils
The integrated heat exchanger surrounds the flame area, directing more burner heat into the pot for water, coffee, and dehydrated meals.
I have noticed that this is very true because I have not had to wait long when using this unit for hot water. Especially when my drain got clogged and I needed hot water to help clear it.
