Fire-Maple Fixed Star X2 Backpacking Camping Stove System, Orange,22oz

Went through the first 100g fuel can & no issues so far, it works great, boils water fast, cooks rice & pasta, etc & cleans up easy. Really appreciate the licking handle & base as well the heat proof silicone insulation keeps stuff hot for quite a while after cooking & the pour through lid is awesome. Also I used it on a windy day with no issue whatsoever. If you're on the fence about this one you need to just go ahead and buy it; the features versus the price = it really can't be beat 😎

Love it. Boils water so quickly. Wind proof. Less than half the price of competitors.

Let me tell you, did I turn some heads at the last camping trip. I had warned them that I had a jetboil competitor and they were like: whatever. So i woke up that next morning and while they're struggling with their coffee, I set mine up in under a minute. That's right. A minute. Then turned on the juice and ignited the flame. Others watching me from their envious eyes did the eye rolls. Three minutes later when that liter of water boiled, no more eye rolls. Suddenly everyone became very interested in this Fire-Maple of mine. It's something when for very little fuel consumption you can have boiling hot water in three minutes. A liter of boiling hot water. I mean I can microwave a cup of water for three minutes and get it hot, but this thing took three minutes on a liter. Crazy time. So while they all were waiting on coffee I poured my water and got started on my nice hot coffee. Then got my oatmeal going. And by the time they had finished their setup, I had eaten, cleaned up, packed down, and was getting my kayak ready for the water. No more laughing and eye rolling now. This fire-maple gets you on the water faster. Worth every penny of it. If I didn't want to prove a point I could have gotten this setup and done in the tent. Quick. Nice option when it's cold and rainy. I haven't even tried anything more complex than that at this point. So for the doubters, this is the real mckoy. Loved it, love it, and there's no "oops" about this...I'm gonna do it again.

Best find ever! I bought this for ice fishing to heat food up. Heats up quickly and love that it condensed down into a single unit. Would definitely recommend

In short, this little guy is easy to use, boils water lightning fast, and is pretty fuel efficient. However, it does NOT nest the heating element, stand and a fuel cannister as advertised. I've never owned a Jet Boil, but for my pocketbook and needs this thing is a solid winner. For background, I'm a car camper and not a backpacker. My primary use for this is to boil water for dehydrated meals and hot toddies when camping, but I'd probably be comfortable cooking some simple meals in it if needed. I originally bought this for the possibility of putting it in my bug out bag, but my bag is pretty small and it's yet to be determined whether this will make the final cut. However, it has plenty of other uses and was still worth the purchase. It lights quickly and reliably, and although I didn't keep an actual count I'm pretty certain I got 15-20 "boils" out of it with one standard cannister. Never timed it, but this thing boils fast -- 3-4 minutes. It's so much easier and efficient to use this vs bringing out my big Coleman stove just to boil some water. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the whole system - including the fuel cannister - does not nest in the pot. That's the main reason it didn't make the bag. I just bought a cannister from Wal Mart, I don't know if Fire Maple sells it's own cannisters or not and whether they might fit. Pro tip -- when nesting the stove in the kettle, the base (where the fuel screws in) goes UP. I don't know why, but when I put it in the other way it got stuck and it took a while to get it out (in fact I was about to throw it out and write a bad review, because I had tried repeatedly to extract it). As others mentioned, it does run a little loud. Also you definitely want to keep an eye on it when boiling, because it can get a little shaky and possibly tip over -- although that has never actually happened to me so maybe I'm a worry wart.

Very happy and impressed. Took longer for me to get setup, than it was to get a cup of espresso and hot oatmeal cooked. That's fantastic! Love the weight, and it's simple, compact, and ready to go! The cover is perfect to pickup and hold to eat right after boiling the water. Fired up on first click without issue. Table was an additional purchase, but was exactly what I needed for me. All in all, a wonderful update for my hammock camping setup.

It's a very good buy for the price. In our honest opinion and review, we were surprised by how fast it is. Obviously, there are faster brands on the market, but they are much more expensive, so this is an excellent purchase. We used it for two days of camping and have no complaints whatsoever. The cover works very well; we heated water at maximum capacity and it performed very well. Zero complaints; it never let us down so far.

Greta little stove. I’ve not used it camping, but I did a side by side with it and my original setup (cheap butane stove and Stanley water pot) and this one blew it out of the water. Yes it is a little slower than Jetboil, but it was much faster than my setup and cost less than half of the jet oil. It took 2 minutes and 20 seconds to bring water to a roaring boil. Mi original setup wat closer to 6 minutes.

The best for the price. Very efficiently boiled water for breakfast, lunch and dinner on a backpacking trip. Only used about 3/4 of a small canister of iso butane for 5 days straight. Love how everything packs up very neatly and in the pot. Highly recommended!!!!

Livraison rapide. Mon Fire-Maple Star X2 est arrivé bien emballé avec deux protecteurs en néopren supplementaire (3 total) J'utilise une bombonne de butane de 230gr (Primus) et le tout s'emboîte parfaitement pour le rangement. J'ai fait bouillir 500ml d'eau (temperature pièce) en 1min 50 dans des conditions parfaites (20 degrés et aucun vent). Mais qui est pressé à ce point en bivouac ? Le plus important est le fait que son efficacité fait économiser beaucoup de carburant comparativement aux bruleurs conventionnels. Sa conception est robuste et de qualité et coûte 50% moins cher que les plus grandes marques comme le JetBoil. La poignée tient solidement en place et vous permet de verser les liquides en toute sécurité (celle du Jetboil est souple et instable). C'est un système clé en mains avec le stabilisateur de bombonne et l'adaptateur pour vos autres chaudrons ou poêlons. Je l'utilise en Hiking et moto camping pour sa légèreté et rangement compact.

I have bought three of these so far. One for us a d two for friends and they have been perfect! They are built with the same if not better quality as the jet boil and are priced far better. Anyone spending any time outdoors needs these.

Very cost effective unit. Feels quite durable and decently put together, build quality wise, especially considering the price. Extra neoprene sleeves and a bag. The Woods brand 8 oz/227g isobutane canister is a bit too big to nestle in the bot for travel but some reviewers are getting the jet boil to fit, but worth noting. Also, it can simmer, I was pleasantly surprised, especially for the price! My old whisper light simmered like a blow torch on high!

This is a brilliant little device, the size is small but big enough for the job, so great for camping and hiking. The design is really smart, the whole thing packs inside itself to it takes up even less space in your bag or wherever you're carrying it. The speed it heats up water is impressive, much faster than the standard gas hob, which I guess is down to the design and close fitting of flame and pot. Given it is a lot cheaper than the more famous named brand, I've recommended to many people and have bought one for my family member who's massively into their camping.
