Fire-Maple FMS-X1

The gas burner from the Chinese brand Fire-Maple is positioned as an affordable alternative to the models of the reputable American company Jetboil.

Cooking system

Fire-Maple FMS-X1 is equipped with an aluminum cooking pot. It holds a little more than one liter of water (with a reserve for boiling), which is usually enough for 1-2 tourists. The pot has an integrated heat exchange system with a frame around the perimeter, which protects the flame from the wind and allows you to do without additional windscreens. In addition, a removable handle, a neoprene cover and a heat-resistant lid are offered.

If necessary, it is permissible to use other dishes, but with a built-in heat exchange system. Otherwise, you need to purchase a universal adapter-taganka Pot Holder.

The container also serves to store and transport the burner and gas cylinders. Standard cartridges of 230 grams (with the burner) and 450 grams (without it) are placed inside. In addition, the system comes with a bowl and a mesh bag to protect against scratches. The total weight of the set is slightly over 500 grams.

Efficient burner

The Fire-Maple FMS-X1 burner itself has a threaded connection that ensures compatibility with various gas cylinders with traditional threads. And through the adapter, it is possible to connect collet models. With a 450 ml cylinder, the device will work for up to 270 minutes, and it takes approximately 3.5 minutes to boil one liter of water in the complete pot.

A piezoelectric element will allow you to do without matches, and a simple regulator will regulate the flame power.

Fire-Maple FMS-X1 is a great choice for heating or cooking food in "field" conditions. The manufacturer's model range also includes updated versions of the burner, for example, FMS-X2. It is more expensive, but comes with an adapter for any cookware and a stand for the cylinder.
