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 👍

[@NealBenson]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I’m super impressed with this stove set up

[@user-wq2rt5be5o]

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

Gongrats on the Jetboil. It won’t let you down. I’ve used MiniMo almost daily for three years on and off the trail. It has not failed once. Edit: Looking to go lighter with Petrel + Soto WindMaster combo. 🤞

@@user-wq2rt5be5o thank you for the encouragement. It was really difficult for me because I really do love my jet boil. I think I just have an affinity for it. I was really surprised at how well the fire maple did

[@NealBenson]

I really like my jet boil. One thing that was surprising to me in this video is that it took like 40 clicks for my PO to work in my jet boil. I need to figure out what’s causing that malfunction. I’ve never had that experience before.

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.

[@NealBenson]

That is such a good point. The Fire Maple has flame control. I was with a buddy who tried to cook in his Jetboil and it just stuck to the sides. Jetboils selling point is the ability to boil water. That is great if you're brining pre-packaged meals. I normally need to carry a Bear vault when backpacking and that means that I need to repackage and make my own meals to keep down on volume of food. I really like the Petrel!

[@ashab1]

Yes they should have done this with a couple of different sized pots initially instead of just copying the jet boil.

[@NealBenson]

@@ashab1 I think they put the Heat Exchanger on a kettle too.

[@andresavage6794]

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

[@NealBenson]

Oh that’s good to know. I didn’t know that
