I've Never Seen This Before - FireMaple Saturn Gas Stove

[@miconn69]

I have not purchased this stove but I have purchased several Fire Maple items and I have to admit, I have been impressed with every single item. Let me tell you about their customer service. I burned up the X3 pot. Even though it was clearly my fault, Fire Maple sent me another pot and neopreme sleeve free, I paid shipping of $4.00. No argument, not dickering. They wanted to satisfy me, the customer. That means more to me than the quality of the products themselves. Yes, made in China, what isnt these days? Some product ships from China, so sometimes it takes a little longer than we spoiled "I want it now" Americans are used to, but their product line and customer service is rock solid in my opinion.

Lord I wish I could still go camping 🏕️! I miss the sights and sounds and smells of nature! Your channels help! Thank you 🙏 Luke! And please extend my respect and gratitude to your daughter for her service. Say hi to Susie for me! Fran, Staten Island, New York. 😊

[@drewthomas1067]

There has to be a way you can get out there still!! Even if it’s not far you’ll be back in nature soon

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

I camp on my tiny wee patch of fort behind my tiny wee home . It’s what I can do and I’m grateful. Hard to get aroujd but still fun in my wee tent and sleeping bag God bless and angels be with you

[@globalfamiliesfirst]

Hi Drewthomas, it was very kind of you respond to my comment. Unfortunately, my health will not allow. I kinda feel badly for unintentionally bringing people down. I just wanted Luke to know that his efforts and eye for the beauty that is nature is very much appreciated. I am very blessed in many ways and I have wonderful memories of childhood on into my adult years of enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Hey Drew, next time you’re out camping, give a tree a pat and say hello for me! Thank you again. Fran

[@globalfamiliesfirst]

Myvoiceourstory hi 👋, your warm thoughts are appreciated more than you know. What prevents me from camping and nature is that I am bed-ridden. I did not intend to make any one feel uncomfortable. I am sorry for that. Your wee patch of fort and tiny wee home sounds like heaven. I am very happy that you don’t let anything stop you from enjoying all of the beauty around you! Say hi to a couple of trees for me! Thank you again for your warm wishes. May g-do light continue to shine on you! Fran

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

[@steveturner3999]

One problem I have with most backpacking stoves is they can be too compact, especially if I feel like actually cooking a meal instead of just heating water. This seems like a good size for me on dedicated cooking hikes. Thanks Luke.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Imagine using a common large tin can to nest a stove in , serves as a wind screen and which can be used to set pots on.

[@steveturner3999]

@@QuantumMechanic_88 I have used similar ideas for a combined pot support and wind screen but this stove is slightly less bulky. Your suggestion is spot on though! Thanks for the input!

[@drjunkjunk]

Loved the review. I wondered why the case, when they could have provided a pot and locking lid with the system. I think that would be an improvement and a more attractive buy.

[@richard_n]

I always prefer stoves that can use different types of gas. Nothing is worse than going on a trip, forgetting your gas, and not being able to find the right type in the area you are in.

[@mikeg1449]

Love the stove and the detailed reviews you do thanks Luke.

[@rickwendell3211]

Stove looks and seems to perform well, but a little expensive when so many less expensive alternatives. As they say, you get what you pay for. Looks like good quality with some nice features.

[@ivargasbushcrafts]

So happy you tested the propane. I actually contacted them (Firemaple) and was told that the stove was made for isobutane only 🤷‍♀

[@jeffweston9743]

Which is strange because he has an adapter...heh heh heh

[@YanickGirouard]

I love FireMaple products. I bought their rocket stove (clone of the JetBoil one, but wayyy cheaper), and I just love it. It's a great alternative for the ones who don't have the budget for the top brands, without sacrificing on quality.

[@carlpolen7437]

It’s cheaper because they stole the design, and therefore they did not have to pay any money in research and development. Hence, you are literally supporting thieves.

[@alexmacdonald258]

This would be a great stove for cooking crab! The BRS 32 is a brilliant design. We bought it right after you reviewed it, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. This Firemaple however, especially for larger uses like a crawfish boil, cooking a bunch of crab legs, or a lot of clams and mussels, for a lot of people, should be ideal!

[@SnowyAspenHills]

Tested BRS 32 this week, really like it although actual burner is small, to avoid hot spots I used a couple of weatherbee stove tamers when using frying pans and for simmering. Great compact design for a twin burner setup.

[@markcrowell2727]

Excellent review as usual, Luke. I love the looks and functionality of the product.

[@toolmanboston]

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I'm planning to use it for Boy Scout Camping Trips where I have to cook for larger groups of Leaders. I like that I can easily use a larger pot. I also bought the round griddle that Fire Maple sells (was on sale for $40).

[@tracker5849]

I've seen this stove a few times but didn't want to spend the money. Today I watched your review. Sir..I have watched you for a long time and have grown to respect and trust you. I know your paid to say good things about products but this review seemed serious and genuine. I ordered it..I hope I don't live to regret my purchase. Hurricane season is close..50 days they say. I have MANY STOVES..and other bushcraft type gear but some reason this one hooked me. THANK YOU FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE AN HONEST REVIEW. can't wait to get it...I hope

[@timberwolf3007]

This is a similar design to the Bulin stove I purchased this past March. I chose the Bulin 3 burner stove because of the 3 burners, but also because it has a built in windscreen. I used it while hunting this year and was very happy. had water boiling in about 2.5 minutes at near freezing temps.

[@terrym1065]

Yep, I've had the 3 burner Bulin for a couple yrs, works exceptionally well but it's a gas hog for sure. Keep it in my truck box w/6 pk canisters, not backpack friendly really.

[@timberwolf3007]

@@terrym1065 Yep it uses a lot of fuel. However, hunting here in Alaska when the bottom falls out of the thermometer, getting stuff hot enough to boil / cook can be a challenge with a single burner. Just the cost of being comfortable.

[@freezinweasle1]

Luke, thanks for the good review. I like this stove the most of those you have reviewed. Since my camping is all solo and not backpacking, I will look into this one.

[@lindalyons6372]

Great little stove. I love your reviews and your voice. Very smooth with a slight southern accent. ❤

[@harrisdail9939]

Looks like a keeper there. I like the fact it is wife enough to be stable and can handle pretty much any size cup, pot or pan.

"Wife enough" til death do you part? /grin. Autocorrupt is sometimes interesting.

[@mattjohnson0718]

That's a really nice little stove it's always good to find really good quality products that you can take with you out on your adventures and know that they will be reliable I think it just makes the overall experience that much more positive

[@samuelsiedschlag4486]

Looks solid and looking forward to Luke testing it out in the future.

[@MyVikinglife]

As soon as you clicked that igniter I could smell that lovely camping gas smell.

[@nickprague1481]

I have this stove as well as the Sunflower stove and a few of the lanterns from Firemaple. Every product has been excellent.

[@patriciafisher2838]

Like the looks of the stove & storage case.

[@KurtCarlsen-rm3le]

Luke, your videos are excellent but you really hit it out of the park on this one. I immediately purchase the stove (on sale) and I am blown away by the performance and the quality. It is now by go to stove for truck camping (too heavy for backpacking) . The simmer feature is excellent. I also purchased the Maverick wood stove because it was on sale. Thank you for turning me on to FireMaple!

[@KurtCarlsen-rm3le]

I tested it using propane with the adapter and I had no issues. I plan to use both iso and propane interchangeably.

[@danealaska]

One of your 10yr old videos (A close call-An overnight adventure),came up in my recommended list today, and may I say you have aged quite well my good sir.

Looks like the humble stove has finally evolved.Impressive.

[@DCMO60]

I have a few Fire Maple products and I love ‘em. Super great quality in my opinion. Thanks for your review of this stove. I’m thinking I’ll be purchasing one.

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

this would be a great little stove for bike campers, or for tear drops as a backup stove for foul weather. Many people don't think about it but with tear drop galleys you need to exit to cook most times, but if its cold, rainy, snowy, you might not want to do that... SO being able to open a window and use a small stove like this really helps.

[@ExtremeSquared]

Snow peak makes a bigger ultra-stable canister stove that people seem to be sleeping on. I use it for backpacking -- doesn't even take up that much more room than a micro stove when folded. This one is just really bulky.

[@PerryMarshallScott]

Beat me to it. That Snowpeak stove is great. Top quality design and build. Pricey, .... but great !

[@mikebotha5936]

I’ve run my stove for two summers now and it has been awesome - great product at a great price!

[@keithwong7031]

Does it have a knob to turn the heat up and down?

[@mikebotha5936]

@@keithwong7031 the control function (flame control) is very conveniently placed at the regulator (convection to the fuel supply) and is infinitely adjustable from simmer to full burn.

[@davidf4897]

I'd recommend the Bulin B17PRO stove. Three burners and a heat pipe for cold weather. Full wind shield and piezo igniter Best shove of this type I've used.

Looks pretty cool - thanks for the review. 👍

[@caver6292]

Loved this straightforward and objective review of this stove. I'm curious as to why the recommendation not to use the propane canisters, did they ever get back to you on that? Thanks for the review. (I like a lot of the Fire Maple stuff; good quality and it doesn't break the piggy bank)

[@percisionshot4331]

I purchased the Fire maple fold out duel burning you reviewed. Man that was a great buy. Shipping is very so.

[@KJ4RMZ]

I really like the flex hose, it gives you a way to work on a smaller surface.

[@mobilewintercamp7515]

I have a smaller stove from this company. I used it under 29F without flipping the ISO-Butane can upside down. It too had the preheat tube. It did possibly struggle a bit to hit full power as the can got super cold from the outside temperature and strong discharge.

[@starlingblack814]

Thanks Luke for the review. Looks like a good car camping stove.

[@mcdon2401]

I have a tiny titanium burner that screws onto the gas can, but it was a bit of a pain for bigger pots, and I somehow managed to damage it. So I bought this as a replacement for going fishing. Had a few trips with it now, at temperatures just a bit above freezing. It's been flawless. In fact, the first time, it was a bit too effective (yeah, some food ended up a little crispy). It was a little pricey, but it's probably going to outlive me, so I'd say it's worth the money.

[@evyburkhart3355]

Looks like a great small stove for the trailheads since it's a lot bigger than what we use for backpacking yet smaller than a 2-burner. Other than buying the fuel cannisters from FireMaple, are there any other specific brands of isobutane cannisters you would recommend?

[@vickistewart1924]

This is cool ty happy Sunday Luke!

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Great information on a cool stove.

[@CharliesMicroAdventures]

Hi Luke, thanks for this interesting stove video. I wonder if the canister inversion instruction was meant to read at 5C instead of 5F.

[@peggynulsen1365]

I thought that also. Makes more sense.

[@Thumper7818]

Wouldnt it be handy if someone made a pot/skillett that had a grooved bottom that would interact with the gimping on the fold out supports?

[@ArDragonsurvival]

Have you done any multi fuel stoves like the whisperlite ?

[@samhill3496]

Like the starter stability Try simmering in your tests if you don't mind. Mnay don't perform well doing this. made for melting snow wide open, well you don't cook wide open hardly any time.

[@badkid73]

If FireMaple would come up with a stainless steel adapter plate that would seat this into the Snow Peak IGT table system, I would be delighted!

[@jreynii]

When they say that its made for isobutane only, yet works with an adapter, are they saying its not safe using propane, as it appears to work fine and others are stating they use it? Or its too much pressure and will have the potential to explode? Other than not that hot as you stated, is that just compared to the use of isobutane or would the heat output be the same for a dedicated propane stove and that isobutane stoves are inherently hotter? Please advise...

[@mudcrutched1]

I use a Coleman dual burner camp stove. A generic bottle top burner and a fire maple orange lantern The Z1 works well for me. I am a truck driver I cook 99% of my meals while I the road. Propane / isobutane serve me well. I think the Saturn stove is a bit of overkill for the space but not in its performance for my liking.

[@TammiLColesinGermany]

We have a different model of a FireMaple stove. Compact design, small plastic pack - great! And about half the price of this larger model. What’s not so great is that igniter, which only worked well once or twice before it just became a multiple-clicks-for-no-result „feature.“ Still great for throwing in a bag though.

[@soniayoung7531]

Hi Luke I like the stove, great review as always, stay safe

[@granitesand78]

What was the burn time difference between the two fuels? Maybe in future tests with stoves if you’ll be testing outdoors in wind it would be nice to see how they do with a wind screen. There’s just so many variables without it.

[@markall8641]

The stove is interesting, as for fire-maple I have there fixed star X2 when it was $50 it’s now $70 buck. I think it’s a jet boil killer for the poor man…. It’s not the lightest but it does the job at boiling water great. I also have the Camp Chief Stryker dual fuel, Let me tell you it’s the same stove. The pot has some differences in vents on base. But burner is the same. I would guess fire-maple makes it for camp chief. But the fire- maple came with pot support and didn’t come with propane adaptor like the. Amp chief did. I have used propane with both. As it’s cheaper if you refill the propane containers.

[@JimBobZee]

All of this stove reviews are interesting, no matter if the stove is good or bad.

[@azclaimjumper]

My sentiments. Most all are a huge improvement over the old Sterno stoves we all used. I snapped up the liquid fuel MSR Whisperlite when it first came out in the mid to late 60s. I still have it & it still works like new. Yes, I know how to disassemble it to clean it. It was the cat's meow when it first came out. Everyone, & I mean everyone discarded their Sterno Stove for a Whisperlite to carry in their backpack. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

@@azclaimjumper ... As a collector of backpack stoves ,, have many ,,if I had to pick only one ,, it also would be the MSR Whisperlite ,, also have had from the mid '70's and still works great ... the canister stoves are easier ,,, smaller and more convenient on most hikes and trips ,, unless at altitude and cold temps .... then the Whisperlite shines ...

[@azclaimjumper]

@@rockytopwrangler2069 You, obviously have & know how to use the cat's whisker to keep the orifice clean. Once a year I disassemble the burner plates & give both sides of each plate a good scrub with steel wool. It doesn't put out the btu's like my Soto Windmaster canister stove, however, in temperatures below 0ºF the Whisperlite "shines". I learned years ago to just moisten the cup with liquid fuel to reduce that otherwise notorious flame-up & carbon buildup on the burners' underside. I wrap the bottom aluminum reflector & the aluminum windscreen around the fuel bottle when not being used. Our "vintage" Whisperlite stoves are definitely "Collector" items. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@caniaccharlie]

I'd like to see something besides boiling water on this stove, how well would it cook a meal?

[@58Kym]

I don’t think we get that gas here, at least I have never heard of it. We can get butane in cans for the stoves that take them or we can get propane for everything else. The stove looks ok but why it doesn’t have a built in wind protecter for the burner? The case doesn’t impress me with no built in way to attach it to anything.

[@ArktinenPeikko]

Could it be that the temperature for inverting the canister is just "translated" a bit funny? I mean like 5 degrees Celcius is pretty close to 40 degrees Fahrenheit I think. So it could be that they've just kept the numbers in degrees cCelcius and changed C to F when translating and thinking of US market.

[@johanvanbeek7138]

What about pure butane Luke?

[@Mattthewanderer]

This looks like an ideal stove for car camping. Price is at the point where people who want a two burner stove can simply buy one more and mission is accomplished. I DO like the ability to run on propane directly even if performance is less. The cost is so important there.....

[@terrym1065]

Nice first look Luke👍 I'll pass on this one, just looks too bulky for it's purpose and heavy for hiking use.

[@ryancragg2907]

"...shall only be used with butane-propane". The "shall" reminds me of flight training--there was a world of difference between "should" and "shall". "Should" is a suggestion. "Shall" is an order.

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

I like it, Thanks Luke for sharing

[@RV-ardvark]

The stove should burn hotter using propane over isobutane because isobutane contains butane, which has lower BTUs than pure propane. I suspect that the warning against using propane may be because it will run hotter and may risk overheating the pot supports. Overheating the pot supports can cause them to deform or bend under load, which may cause the load to tip over and cause the entire stove to flip over.

[@scotts.2624]
