FIREMAPLE FMS X1 REVIEW - IS THIS A CHEAP ALTERNATIVE STOVE??

In this video I look at the Firemaple FMS X1 Stove and give my personal opinions on this item.

Hay, I thought a 230g gas canister can fit with the burner right side up then canister? Without bowl of course?

I have had mine for a year now, it has been a good stove but has its pros and cons.

Pros:
The regulator is great, can simmer and cook food (pasts/sauces etc)
The rubber lid I do prefer (It's not going to get cracked when stuffing other stuff in to rucksack)
Comes with a pot/cup

Cons
Lid does not have strainer holes
Does not come with cannister stand
Ignighter died within a dozen uses of mine
Does not come with pot stand

For the prices of the X1, x2, x3, it might be worth spending the little extra for the newer models as they come with the pot & canister stands, sans cup. Personally I am not a fan of the newer lid and latch design, the thumb grip on the lid looks like it could break. And there are one too many linkages to go wrong with the handle/latch design.

As for the canister stand, I will add that they do fit in the stove ring when packing away, allowing you to stack your stove, cup and gas into the outer pot. And if you have a fine drill bit, you could make your own strainer holes into the rubber lid of the X1.

I’ve got a jetboil 🤦‍♂️ but recently been cooking on meths and have been making my own stoves out of tuna cans etc … so from one extreme to another lol
This looks like a decent stove though … looks and performs just like a jetboil, I wonder what the difference actually is in the two ?
