Jetboil Flash vs. Fire Maple Petrel: Which Boils Best?

I've been an avid Jetboil user for years. In fact, I love my Jetboil Flash... but Fire Maple recently sent me the Petrel 600ml pot and Green Peak stove combo. In this video you get a first look at the Petrel Pot and how it combines with the Green Peak stove. I'm really impressed with the stove.

I haven’t touched my jetboil since getting the Patrel cookpot 👍

nice review, I recently bought the jetboil because price in this case happened to be a non-factor, but looking at the two, I like how the Fire Maple locks it's lid with the handle. A couple of differences I also noticed was that with the JetBoil I can just lift my pot and it brings the whole thing around, and secondly it would be nice if there was some kind of rubber lip so you can drink from the pot directly.

I really like that the fire maple's burner just locks into place with the cup, very nice. the fire maple also looks a decent bit lighter, probably honestly better for backpacking

My petrel did 500ml in 1m30s and also needs ti be with the right gas as the conparison wasnt the same. They do a better more powerful stove, the polaris that fits it too so is quicker and more efficient 👍

i use my jetboil for long distance travels . it's enough to cook 2 person meal . But 600ml Maple sounds like a good idea for light bikepacking trips . id would put 100 gr gas canister with all stuf for tea and maybe titanium cup as well

I've been comparing the Petrel to the Toaks 650 lite, both with the Soto Windmaster TriFlex. Both boil water quickly if turned up high, but in testing fuel efficiency, they are both boiling 2 cups of water using an average of about 6.5g of fuel. I'm not seeing any significant difference between the two after dozens of boils of stream water at between 6500 and 9000 feet altitude. The Petrel is stable, holds 800ml if filled to the top, and I like how the handle folds over the top. The Toaks is quite a bit lighter (2.1 oz to 4.8 oz for the Petrel with no lids) but the handles do sometimes get hot. I use a stretch silicon lid on both, and use the lid as a pot grabber with the Toaks. I'm kinda intrigued by the Green Peak Stove and may try it. Thanks for the video, good job.

I would choose the Fire Maple over the Jetboil any day of the week. Especially over Jetboil versions that do not have control over the flame intensity - those are literally just for boiling water, you can't even make pasta in them without high risk of burning something.

Add the benefits of the Fire Maple being lighter and cheaper. Plus the fire maple's handle is stiff, and I can't figure out when the Jetboil wins.

Those Coleman gas cans have a different blend of gas that burns cooler than the isobutane you used one the jetboil

Jet Boil is overrated, overhyped, overpriced crap.
