Fire-Maple Petrel Ultralight Pot- High Efficiency Aluminum Camping and Backpacking Pot with Heat-Proof Handle, Portable and Compact

This thing is fantastic! I used to manage an outdoor shop, and I would be very stressed if I knew a competitor was selling this stove. It was $25? I think, which is $75-$100 cheaper than the name brand competition. This boils water as fast as a jet boil. 0.5L in two minutes (this is what a jet boil basically does, which changes with altitude, temperature, air pressure, fuel type etc etc etc). The weight is 163grams empty, and fits my 100gram gas canister, base, and burner. My burner is a swivel type, so the three blades rotate out and around the top, this makes it so it definitely fits inside the three recesses in the base of the pot. I’m sure the three fixed bladed burner will fit this fine, I just don’t have one of those to check. This is without a doubt, one of the best, if not the best backpacking pots on the market, for quality, efficiency, and price. Because it’s a quarter of the price of a jet boil. Another very good point in my opinion. I don’t like the jet boil because the stove burner is built into the pot, which makes it more efficient than this, but then you can never use the burner for anything other than that. I can take this pot off and fry something in a pan afterwards, or reheat a mug of coffee, I can give it to a friend and they can use my stove for all their gear, but you can’t do that with a jet boil. So this thing is genuinely fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this product to people I care about.

I’veq been using the Fire-Maple G3 Petrel 600ml pot for camping and backpacking trips, and I totally love it! It’s durable and super light at just 162g, so it doesn’t weigh down my pack, and it fits my Greenpeak1 stove like a glove. It’s the perfect size for cooking ramen or those pre-packaged backpacking meals. This pot cooks my meals perfectly without taking away any of the food’s flavor. The handle stays cool and feels sturdy, and cleaning it is a piece of cake. I’ve taken it on a bunch of trips, and it’s been awesome every time. If you’re looking for a solid, easy-to-use pot for camping, this one’s a winner!

It's a little larger than most titanium pots, and a little heavier but it boils pretty darn fast. It fits on my stove also perfectly, which I was initially a little worried about. Very stable too.

It's quite light, and the handle locks securely in both positions. I can see why it tells you to be careful about squeezing the handle though, as while it does lock securely, it also doesn't take a strongman to unlock it. This is actually lighter than the little aluminum pan, pot, cup and plate set from Walmart. Nice little size, too. I bought one of the off-brand fuel canister stabilizers and it doesn't fit evenly, about 1/8" too big for that, so it's gonna be somewhat slanted in the pot. One review said it's slanted on their stove so I looked, two of the three slits in the base are clear of obstruction, but the third has the flux thing off-centered. Might bend it out just a bit if it affects how the stove locks with it. I'll update in a couple of weeks about performance, just thought I'd put those aspects out there for now. Edit 7/17/2040: I just tried it for the first time with the Fire Maple Greentree, which it's made to be paired with, and I had it MAYBE 1/3-open to boil 1.5c water to be able to reconstitute some freeze dried food, and the rubber on the handle melted and it was too hot to pick up bare-handed. I used the Gas One Isobutane-propane gas mix. I don't know if I picked the wrong fuel but it seems that mix is the standard one every isobutane canister has. Or maybe it's such a good stove that I could turn it down further? If so, then this is my mistake and I will adjust accordingly. But if not, then... But for now I'm keeping it at 5 stars because I honestly didn't expect the rubber to work in the first place. It boiled this 1.5c in under a minute with the lid off and since all my packs of food are either 1c or 1.5c, I'm very happy with the performance. Edit 3/7/26: Since they increased their number of options, I'll specify that the above was for the G3. I upgraded to the Ramen Pot and am much happier. The pot can actually nest the Greenpeak 1 stove, one of those orange plastic stands, a 100g fuel canister and a rolled up handkerchief without issue, unlike the G3; is much easier to clean; can fit an ample meal for one person (or, for me, at least); and has a metal lid, not a plastic one. I finally tried to cook with the plastic lid on and it stuck to the metal, not heat resistant at all. The Ramen Pot is the perfect size for a block of ramen without breaking it up (probably figures the name, huh?), and you can stack two in there comfortably. So far I've used it to cook fajita and rice, beef and broccoli, various soups and beans and such, some chicken alfredo, some of those bagged frozen skillet meals you can get at the grocery, spaghetti and meatballs, and bunch of other stuff. It's a great pot.

I really like these petrol series. Good size for a brew up and fits stove and small gas canister. I was disappointed that the lid did not have the new hooking on the pot feature so the reason for my star deduction

I was looking for an economical pot for ultralight hiking, and this one really delivered. The price is great, it heats quickly, and the stainless steel feels durable and reliable. Just make sure you get the Fire-Maple Petrel G2 stove, because that’s the model this pot is actually compatible with — other stoves and brands may not fit as well. For solo cooking, it’s compact, functional, and perfect for simple meals on the trail. It doesn’t enhance flavor or anything like that, but it cooks evenly and everything I’ve made in it has tasted great. If you tend to eat larger portions, you might want the bigger version, but for me, this size has been just right. Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase.

This easily saves minutes off my time to boil. It’s built like a tank. But still remains pretty lightweight. Solid option for anyone planning a back country trip. Looks great, really makes use of all the heat you put in.

I bought the Greenpeak stove and the 750 ml Petrel pot recently and the system works great. I tested it out by boiling 2 cups of water. I started my timer when I lit the stove and the water was boiling after just 80 seconds. Both the stove and pot are very light weight. The heat exchanger on the bottom of the pot evidentially works well seeing how fast water boils. And I really like how the pot has notches in it to sit onto the stove pot supports.

Negative Meldungen anderer Rezensenten kann ich bislang nicht nachvollziehen. Hatte den Topf bereits im Biwak dabei und auch auf Hochalpintouren mit - sowohl Fertignahrung erhitzt als auch Schnee geschmolzen, war damit gar kein Problem. Und die Tatsache, dass jemandem der Topf durchschmilzt kann nur bedeuten, man hat unwissend der Konsequenzen einen leeren Topf auf die Flamme gestellt. Wieso bin ich mir da sicher? Selbst einen Pappbecher mit Wasser kann man auf die offene Flamme stellen, ohne dass der Karton Feuer fängt (selbst schon oft ausgeführt). Solange das Außenbehältnis nicht aus Plastik (Erdölprodukt) besteht, welches schmelzen oder sich verziehen kann, wird der Behälter nicht heißer werden als das Wasser darin - selbst die Unterseite des Topfes kann man direkt danach berühren. Bei Lebensmitteln nicht anders: eher noch verkohlen diese vollständig im Topf bis kein Wasser mehr in der Nahrung vorhanden ist, bevor der Aluminiumtopf (Schmelzpunkt bei 660 °C) durchschmort. Dies ist ein Anwenderfehler und kein Materialversagen.

Super fast delivery by Amazon. I have wanted this pot for quite some time to cook ramen meals and pasta dishes on the trail. It mates up with my Firemaple Greenpeak stove or any stove with 3 pot stand legs. I was so eager to test out it's fast boil abilities I tried it right after I unboxed it with a full 800ml of water to brew up a pot of green tea. Boil time was roughly half the time it would take my 900ml titanium pot to boil (3:16)..... the pour spout is quite functional as I poured the finished brewed tea into a stainless bottle with no spills or drips. The handle has sufficient heat protection for your hand. The lid has a good fit and will not fall off when pouring. The heat exchanger ring and stove nesting slots make the unit stable and virtually unaffected by wind. If you want a light, super efficient cook kit, match this pot up with your high output stove like the greenpeak or pocket rocket 2.

Using small iso-butane ultra-light camping stove, takes 2 minutes (or less) to get it to rolling boil. Very light, good construction!

Brilliant pot when paired with the triflex pot support and the soto windmaster. Boil time is ridiculously fast. Nice and lightweight 230g gas can and gas support stand fit nicely into it as well.

Well made. Works well and is a good size. I have noticed that the heat sink fins on these type of cookware items do work faster in general but I don’t have a comparable pot without them to compare. It is aluminum I believe so you can simmer with it. It is the perfect size for most ramen noodle bundles so lives up to its name. There are a few of the “Petrel” pots. This one had slots on the bottom for three or four pot stand fins which cover most stoves. The two smaller ones have only slots for three fin pot stands.
