Fire Maple Blade 2 vs Stansport Outfitter Series 3-Burner

But the cons being? you know, because there's more material, they're obviously a little bit bigger. You know I've got a pocket rocket too, which is a ...

Mine came damaged, only three legs touch the counter surface, the other is floating about half an inch, there's an obvious indentation under the stove, the manual says "ALWAYS place stove on a flat, level, solid surface", I did, but the fourth leg still floats half an inch, the two wind flaps consequentially don't latch, by the way that latching system seems very poor. I had high hopes for this little stove, it's a pain to have to return something. Overall, I think a better quality metal would be better, sand the thing well and paint it, part of quality assurance should be to make sure there's nothing that can potentially hurt the customer, like sharp metal edges, like I said, mine came damaged, so I don't even know if it works, or if it's safe to use, another failure point is the packaging, only one layer of bubble wrap inside two boxes, but the inner box is more like thick paper, very poor packaging, very frustrated with this purchase.

My favorite for the weight is the Fire Maple Blade 2, which is the lightest remote canister stove on the market at 4.5oz. Remote canister stoves have a couple distinct advantages over canister-mounted stoves:.

This grill is pretty hefty feeling, so hopefully it lasts. Why it got two stars: One of the tabs on the lid that the side wind guard hooks in to is welded so far out of alignment that it cannot work at all. So the lid can only be held up by one side and the other burner is not protected and not able to keep as much heat in. Three out of four of the riveted hinges on the side wind guards are loose and quite wobbly right out of the box

it has all the features that all 4 season remotes have but its only 135ish gr vs the 180ish gr on the vega.

First the good news: arrived promptly, a day earlier than promised, quick and easy set-up, piezo igniter easy to operate, flame adjusts from very low simmer to hot-hot-hot and everything in between so I think functionality is above average, but I still have to take two stars off. 1. The item pictured here is either not the 21250 Outfitter or the picture is outdated; and it isn’t just a cosmetic difference. The one I received is black with blue top/windscreens (I double checked and the box is labeled with the 21250 model number) which isn’t too big of a deal, but it has only a single latch not the double latch pictured and I really wanted one with two latches as I feel it to be more secure (at least it is a metal latch and not plastic), the “feet” on the one I received are relatively shallow molded nubs on the underside of the stove not the taller screw on feet pictured, that has both pros and cons: you don’t have to sit and screw on 4 feet and fewer parts is fewer parts to get lost and have to replace, but there’s a lot less clearance under the stove and you can’t use those molded in nubs to level it the way you can with screw on feet

Everybody compares this to the BRS-3000T so I'll start there. At first glance they look extremely similar and the BRS is a few grams lighter coming in just under an ounce. The Fire Maple is actually the original and if you pay attention to the pictures you'll notices some brass and steel parts in there. That accounts for the weight difference and also the quality difference between the two stoves

The size of the stove is good, allowing for multiple pots (as long as they're small) Overall impression is good. But they really need to do some work on the ignitor system. I would recommend this product with that caveat.

Most importantly for me this stove allows very fine attenuation of the flame. That allows me to simmer in pot. If you are rehydrating meals the full flame boils water very quickly. The stove is rated at 9500 BTU

It up here. Here's the piezo that goes in the second one. There you go and you can see this - has you can really kick out the heat out there. This we'...
