I’m in the military and spend a fair amount of my time toiling about outside. I hate not having coffee and hot water in the field so I purchased this little dude. My last field problem was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and Mr. Maple here kept me fueled up with coffee and generally improved my morale. This thing will blast hot soup in about 3-4 minutes no problem in freezing conditions. I don’t even care it’s a weird Chinese brand, Jet Boil costs too dang much.

I am a big fan of JetBoil products, I’ve owned them for years, the whole “complete cooking system, nesting in the pot” thing was revolutionary.
If you are shopping for Jetboils, you already know what this Fire-Maple thing is all about. It is almost identical in form and function to the JetBoil Flash and Zip products. The materials feel the same, they assemble the same, everything seems the same. I do like the Fire-Maple handle that locks the lid on during transport and allows you to carry your pot while it’s hot. I like this just as much as my JetBoil but it was about half the price, all things being equal, except the price, I would have to choose the Fire-Maple.

I was looking at buying a Jetboil and saw this for half the price. Having used both I can confidently say I made the right choice in getting the Fire Maple. The pot is definitely larger which is one of the best things about it. It can fit the fuel tank (and everything else) within itself making for a much smaller footprint than the Jetboil. It also comes with some accessories the name brand charges extra for, like a pot holder. All in all I highly recommend this one if you are looking for a camp stove.

I do not normally write reviews for purchases, usually because there are dozens of folks already saying what I would have said. In this case, I had a hard time finding definitive answers to questions I had and just splurged and bought it. The biggest questions were, how does it compare to a jetboil and is it worth it? First and foremost, this obviously is not an ultralight piece of gear, so if you are an ultralighter, you already know that this isn’t for you and neither is the jetboil. Now, to answer the questions. My first impression when unboxing the stove was that it looked pretty sturdy and true to what was advertised. I have a couple 220g coleman canisters, so i set it all up and did a trial boil. In my garage with an ambient temp of around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, I got water to a roiling boil in under 3 minutes. Considering that I was boiling a full 1 liter of water I was impressed. From review videos and demos I have seen, in similar conditions, it was right on par with a jetboil flash. My other concern was, after I get a boil going, how long until it cools off. All of the components were cool enough to pack up after about 5 minutes of pouring out water. The only issue I have currently is that the coleman canisters do not fit inside the pot, so I will have to find a fuel canister that fits inside to make packing easier. All in all, it is a solid piece of gear that does as advertised and boils water quickly, efficiently, and comes in well under the price of a jetboil.

Made in China. Fit & Finish are acceptable. However, when I lit it off the first time, the burner started to smoke pretty good. Then it started to sputter and I had to turn the fuel flow down as it was trying to cut out. After a while, the burner quit smoking and started regulating the flame better. After washing the pot out with hot soapy water, the first pot I boiled stunk like chemicals as it was heating up. It took a couple of water changes and reboils before the smell kinda went away. I haven’t drank or eaten out of it yet, kinda afraid to until I wash it out really good and boil it out a couple times more. The burner plate the pot attaches to is not plumb to the burner or the bottle, so it doesn’t set quite level on a level surface. The wire handle on the fuel adjustment is a bit flimsy feeling and will pop out of the mount if you torque it. That is easy to do when shutting the valve off as there is quite a bit of overtravel in the valve, but the closure is positive.
Overall, it will work, but what’s with the residue on the burner and in the pot?
Update: After contact with the seller, I pulled the pot liner off and scrubbed the pot with liquid dishwasher detergent by hand to limit the damage done to the anodized coating, and I also hand washed the pot liner. After it dried I put it back together and made a pot of tea and it tasted and smelled fine. I think I can fix the burner plate leaning myself. I believe this is a one-off problem unique to my unit, and not so bad it will adversely affect the function of the stove. With the continued use, and because of the great price I got this unit for, I raised my review from 3 to 4 stars. This unit isn’t perfect, but it is still quite functional, and if it holds up in the field, it should be good. The seller offered a concession, but I politely turned it down, as I think I got my money’s worth already.
