Great review Chris. Your review’s are spot on for anyone in the market considering a purchase. Looking good mate ATB 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Joe - much appreciated 👍

[@sammybrownfox6265]

Thanks Chris. Looking forward to some spring weather and walks .

[@MCMOutdoors]

No worries, yep - bring one some warmer weather now I say

[@shainewinfrow7355]

been looking at this stove for a week thinking of buying it i shall now seeing this vid

[@MCMOutdoors]

Enjoy Shaine 👍

[@craoutdoors6827]

looks like a possible acquisition for me, great review, honest and straight forward makes them better to watch than the high tech reviews some people use that can mean bugger all to most people. cheers really enjoyed watching again 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great value stove which works well and is robust !

[@benny_mc]

For some reason every time you say 'Piezo' I break out singing it to the tune of Pie Jesu.... and no I haven't been drinking, yet! It's been a long day! Great review though 👍

[@BSmith244]

I just thought the same when he said it :)

[@benny_mc]

@@BSmith244 😂 I'm not the only weirdo then....

Piezo Maradona! 😁

Hehe

Great review my great friend! Lot of love and great respect for your superb work from a fellow solo mountain hiker from the Lower Chitral District of Pakistan.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for checking in again 👍

[@marcochavanne]

Have you had any issues with the Coleman canisters? Some folks say not to use them with other Fire Maple products.

[@MCMOutdoors]

No issues at all

[@marcochavane3124]

@@MCMOutdoors thanks for the reply. I got one and it seems to be working well. Just have to make sure it's threaded in all the way.

[@alexanderwhittaker3622]

Really informative. Was that West Lancashire?

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yes, thanks for watching

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Wondering if this'll fit into a Gsr pouch or if it's a rocket job... Is that neoprene sleeve removable? If I cook on gas I sit on the downwind side, firstly you get a bit of heat and secondly it also helps stop food smells from giving you away 😉

[@MCMOutdoors]

The sleeve is removable yes; dimensions should be on the website so hopefully it fits in what you need it to!

[@OldNavajoTricks]

@@MCMOutdoors Cool, so it's firefriendly in a pinch, good to know thank you 👍 Should fit into the Gsr nicely too.

[@maksymillian71]

Great vid.. is there room for the gas canister to be stored in the unit

[@MCMOutdoors]

A small one mate 👍

[@gregoryoutdoors]

230g goes in also I use it. Just doesnt close properly all the way but you can fit it all in mesh as well. Works fine.

[@brendadorn4768]

The gas canister looks taller than the one they want you to use .Can you tell me what gas canister you are using

[@MCMOutdoors]

You can use any screw fitting gas...... It's just a standard Coleman version

[@dlear85]

I'm confused by all the stoves. Are the standard ones less controllable and not as good for cooking?

[@MCMOutdoors]

Not really, they all vary to a degree in terms of flame control. These type of stoves are really designed for fast boiling of water - so dehydrated meals and the likes are great with this kit.

[@dlear85]

Ah ok I was looking at them for camping use as well as eventually hikes once kids are a bit bigger. Can they manage basic cooking or just burn food. Thanks for reply

[@MCMOutdoors]

Basic as in heating tinned food just about, but they do get very hot spots on the base so it's a fine art

[@markwinno]

Well delivered mate. Thanks.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers pal

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Thank you for this great review. 🙂🙂🙂

[@MCMOutdoors]

No problem 👍👌

[@allanjames2744]

What's the main differences between the Polaris, X2 and X3 ?. They all seem exactly the same to me

[@MCMOutdoors]

X3 is slightly bigger and has more power (0.8L / 2200w)

[@steveproud846]

Good review as always👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks Steve

[@terrypatterson1481]

My only concern is the flimsy looking wire knob for turning on/ turning down the gas I would like that to be a more solid feature. The colour of the stove would be better in a camouflage colour The lid could have more small holes in it to drain water (for pasta). other than that a great piece of kit that I would gladly try out.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for watching - the knob for the gas is very sturdy - I think it's built like that to save weight and there are many similar designs out there. I guess the colour is subjective - thanks for watching Terry 👍

[@colinwilson1103]

Can you reheat pre cooked food in the pot.

[@MCMOutdoors]

I always find these type of stoves better for water boiling

[@jasonmaddison6148]

good review fella .

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks mate - not the most entertaining content but hopefully helps some people out

[@marcuswilson9381]

Good review. Do you know where they are made? I mean which country

[@MCMOutdoors]

Not sure Marcus, thanks for watching 👍

[@Ashysand]

If jet oil is it right. Looks great. I’ll check that out.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers dude 👍

[@craig3401]

There's quite a few type of these stoves but the regulator types are so much better as for boil times there pretty much all in the same ball park 20 seconds difference doesn't matter some don't lock as good but there's always the price question I've got the jetboil micro mo which wasn't that cheap but i really like it fire maple alpkit or a few others are cheaper I do like the blue colour tho

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yeah, they're pretty similar but I agree - the regulated burner does make a difference.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

I LOVE MINE, I HAD THE FIRST

[@davidmargrave3324]

I went with the Polaris instead of X2 because of the regulator

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Great review. No BS just fact. Not a fan of the plastic lid maybe a metal lid with a strainer. Nice piece of kit

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for watching - every stove I have of this type, from various brands Inc MSR, Soto, Jetboil and this - all have plastic lids. ATB

[@couchcamperTM]

wow that looked a lot like my region. just as flat^^ But our trees are boring, in comparison.

[@MCMOutdoors]

The flat agricultural lands of the west Lancashire plain

[@couchcamperTM]

@@MCMOutdoors if you told me it's between Bremen and the Netherlands I would have believed it^^

[@Olan...]

Nice stove, fast and adjustable too.....i am not a fan of the jet boil because that amount of bulk just to be able to boil water and burn food doesnt have any appeal, i had a first generation one before they found every excuse in the world to reinvent it to suit people who get a bone on for saving a few seconds here and there......if seconds mattered that much when you are outdoors people need to hit themselves over the head with a sledge hammer ....i have got the MSR Wind burner because at my age every second counts ...wheres mi mallet :)

[@MCMOutdoors]

Fast as those mate - I have an original MSR Reactor and it's insane. Thanks for watching pal

[@Olan...]

@@MCMOutdoors We might be all getting cooked very fast soon by nukes if you believe anything that the main stream news is frightening the world with ...... Honestly what happened to Isis and now Covid hahaha give it a few months and there will be something else 24 seven being screamed at us....Keep up the fantastic work Chris Reality is best served outdoors with no phone signal :)

[@MCMOutdoors]

@@Olan... I don't watch MSM or believe a word of the rubbish spurned out by legacy news channels mate - utter nonsense. ATB pal

[@Olan...]

@@MCMOutdoors Top man, my priority watch is your channel and half a dozen others then getting out and doing it for real....I only watch MSM for the comedy value.....First class comedy if you understand the parody ....someone has to make a fortune twisting the minds of the Plebs and the markets...alls fair in love and war apparently !
