Fire-Maple Petrel Ultralight Pot- High Efficiency Aluminum Camping and Backpacking Pot with Heat-Proof Handle, Portable and Compact

This thing is fantastic! I used to manage an outdoor shop, and I would be very stressed if I knew a competitor was selling this stove. It was $25? I think, which is $75-$100 cheaper than the name brand competition. This boils water as fast as a jet boil. 0.5L in two minutes (this is what a jet boil basically does, which changes with altitude, temperature, air pressure, fuel type etc etc etc). The weight is 163grams empty, and fits my 100gram gas canister, base, and burner. My burner is a swivel type, so the three blades rotate out and around the top, this makes it so it definitely fits inside the three recesses in the base of the pot. I’m sure the three fixed bladed burner will fit this fine, I just don’t have one of those to check. This is without a doubt, one of the best, if not the best backpacking pots on the market, for quality, efficiency, and price. Because it’s a quarter of the price of a jet boil. Another very good point in my opinion. I don’t like the jet boil because the stove burner is built into the pot, which makes it more efficient than this, but then you can never use the burner for anything other than that. I can take this pot off and fry something in a pan afterwards, or reheat a mug of coffee, I can give it to a friend and they can use my stove for all their gear, but you can’t do that with a jet boil. So this thing is genuinely fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this product to people I care about.

This pot is awesome! I am including my review of the Fire Maple Greenpeak 2 stove with this review for reference. As far as specifics for this product, the pot, it is on point. The perfect small size, making it extremely compact and easy to use. The pot is extremely usable with great heat levels (again using the Greenpeak 2 stove). The lid stays on well and functions adequately. The only two issues I have is the lid is hard to see through which allows you to miss when the water is boiling. The only other issue i have is the inside the pot fluid level marks are hard to read. But for the price-point use and size this thing is awesome. Here is my review for same brand stove I matched with the pot: I am replicating All, this stove is awesome! I have been an avid backpacker and hunter my whole life. I have owned and tried everything fro Colemans to MSRs, to JetBoils and etc. This size and price point of this stove and the G3 ultralight pot which I also reviewed is amazing! Especially compared to other brands and their price points and sizes. Being an off brand I was nervous, but I was looking for a ultra small pot to put in my pack for day hunting trips figuring if for some reason the stove didn't work, oh well I was only out one meal. Well after using it for the hunting season, I think this may replace my backpacking name brand stove for two or three night hikes! The size is amazingly small. The durability on point and with the previously mentioned pot with a small gas canister it all fits into one awesome package. After meeting a couple of my base camp partners int he woods and making them food, they now want one also. Well, I like this product so much that I bought to more stoves and pots to give them for holiday presents! I will try to take pictures the next time I am out with the kit and will update this review if for some reason the stove lets me down in the field; however, I used this for about 20 days this year without issues! BTW for reference I used this stove at around the 5,000 ft elevation level all the way down to sea level.

Works perfectly with pocketrocket deluxe! Better than jetboil minimo, half the weight with PRD and more versatile. Heats and cools crazy fast. The pot can actually do almost 1 L if you go past their line, but do not boil it will overflow! I can do 2 people 16oz each for tea if I fill to near the top and don't go past 200F with careful attention. Almost didn't get because it was a bit small, but if you don't need exactly boiling but need around 1 L this can work perfectly. The opening for 3 fins for the PRD fit perfect and make it stable and good against wind and insanely fast boil. Be sure to boil 2 pots at full heat and dump to get rid of any chemicals etc before using, you never know.

The Fire Maple lightweight backpacking pot is an excellent choice for minimalist adventurers and serious thru-hikers alike. Its standout feature is speed — this pot boils water impressively fast, saving both time and fuel in the backcountry. Despite its ultralight build, it feels durable and well-engineered, with a compact nesting design that fits easily in any pack. The lid seals snugly, and the fold-out handles stay cool enough to handle safely. Whether you're making morning coffee or rehydrating freeze-dried meals, this pot gets the job done with efficiency and reliability. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their camp kitchen without adding extra weight.

Compact, lightweight, efficient fuel burning and quick heating. Good buy.

I’veq been using the Fire-Maple G3 Petrel 600ml pot for camping and backpacking trips, and I totally love it! It’s durable and super light at just 162g, so it doesn’t weigh down my pack, and it fits my Greenpeak1 stove like a glove. It’s the perfect size for cooking ramen or those pre-packaged backpacking meals. This pot cooks my meals perfectly without taking away any of the food’s flavor. The handle stays cool and feels sturdy, and cleaning it is a piece of cake. I’ve taken it on a bunch of trips, and it’s been awesome every time. If you’re looking for a solid, easy-to-use pot for camping, this one’s a winner!

Very nice product for the price. Heated almost as quickly as my friends Jet Boil. Quality was also great.

Super lightweight, great qaulity

Well made. Works well and is a good size. I have noticed that the heat sink fins on these type of cookware items do work faster in general but I don’t have a comparable pot without them to compare. It is aluminum I believe so you can simmer with it. It is the perfect size for most ramen noodle bundles so lives up to its name. There are a few of the “Petrel” pots. This one had slots on the bottom for three or four pot stand fins which cover most stoves. The two smaller ones have only slots for three fin pot stands.

Great piece of kit. To satisfy my curiosity I timed this pot boiling 750ml of water against several other stoves. This was the fastest, beating a Jetboil Flash, an Alpkit Brukit (jetboil copy) and the same burner (FireMaple FMS300T titanium). under a plain titanium pot. It boiled 750ml of water in 3min 50s. The Jetboil took 5min 40s and the plain titanium pot took 8 mins. A clear gold star for the FireMaple and proof that the heat exchanger really does work. The neoprene sleeve is also very useful; almost vital. Only thing I would suggest is that a titanium version is made to further decrease the weight - which is already pretty good.

Muy ligero y eficiente. No es titanio pero el aluminio también es muy ligero y ahorra peso, de gas, por ser muy eficiente. Su tamaño es perfecto y su empaquetado (me refiero dentro de la mochila) también. Y buen precio. Muy recomendable para excursionistas que necesitan mucho por poco. P.D: lo de los males para la salud del aluminio está por demostrar.

Gute 4,5 Sterne- aufgerundet also 5 für den G2 Pot mit 750ml NUTZVOLUMEN Der FireMaple-Alu-Topf wiegt bei mir tatsächlich nur 176g inkl. Deckel. Der Deckel allein hat ein Gewicht von 48g- der Topf somit netto 128g. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut, keine scharfe Kanten, Kratzer, Produktionsreste oder sonstiges. Das nutzbare Volumen des G2 liegt bei 750ml, die Füllmenge bis zum oberen Rand bei knapp über 1000ml. Bei vielen anderen Herstellern ist das angegebene Volumen immer bis zum oberen Rand und somit das Nutzvolumen geringer. Vorteile: 1. Durch den Wärmetauscher im Vergleich zu einem 900ml Titan-Topf mit etwas geringerem Durchmesser etwa 25% schnellere Kochzeit und damit Brennstoffeinsparung! 2. Durch die Aussparungen am Wärmetauscher greift der dreiarmige Gasbrenner sehr schön in den Topfboden! So ist ein umrühren deutlich sicherer wie mit Töpfen mit normal flachem Boden 3. Durch den Wärmetauscher sinkt die Windempfindlichkeit insgesamt deutlich. Gasbrenner mit größerer Brennfläche und einem hochgezogenem Rand sind nochmals im Vorteil. Der ausgesparte Durchmesser für den Gasbrennerkopf liegt bei cirka 78mm. Etwas Platz sollte sein, aber Brenner mit einem Durchmesser von bis zu 65mm sollten problemlos funktionieren! 4. der G2 verfügt über einen zwar kleinen aber praktikablen Ausgießer 5. Durch die Verriegelung des Deckels mit dem kunststoffummantelten Griff am Gummi-Deckelgriff leicht zu verpacken und klapperfrei - nix nervt mehr als wenn das Kochgeschirr unterwegs klappert! Grifflösung ist sehr gut gelöst! 6. fairer Preis und gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis mit um 25,-€ Nachteile, welche zum Punktabzug von 0,5 Sternen führen: 1. Es gibt keine Füllmengenskala sondern nur eine Markierung bei 0,75l - Warum? 2. Der Ausgießer könnte etwas ausgeprägter oder am Deckel eine Einkerbung sein um effektiv heißes/kochendes Wasser ausgießen zu können. Deckel kann aber einfach "nachbearbeitet" werden 3. der ausklappbare Griff könnte etwas stärker im Durchmesser sein, wobei grundsätzlich die Funktion vollständig gegeben und ein Ausgießen sicher möglich ist. Immer ein Zwiespalt zwischen Gewicht und Stabilität!
