Fire Maple Petrel G3 Ultralight Pot with Heat Exchanger (600 ml, aluminium)

How much it adds to your pack for the amount it holds. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.

Fire Maple's UK page gives 161.6 g and 600 ml; its US page gives 162 g and 600 ml. We use 162 g: 162 g for 0.6 L = 270 g per litre, in the 220-299 g/L band. The 600 ml is the amount to the stamped fill line: the pot holds about 800 ml to the brim (Adventure Alan; Fellmandave says all three Petrel pots hold more than their stated size), which would give 203 g per litre, a 4, but we band Fire Maple's 600 ml. Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 166 g and Fellmandave weighed 167 g, both still 3.

How evenly it heats, whether food sticks or burns, cleaning, and the handles, lid, pouring and steadiness on a small stove. 7: Better than most.

Three hands-on sources (3, 4, 3): average 3.3 out of 5, so 7 out of 10. Adventure Alan (3) rates it among the best solo pots for boiling, with stove-arm notches that steady it, a good lid and locking handle, but says it is narrow, burn-prone at the base and hard to scoop from and clean for real cooking. TheOutdoorGearReview (4; a couple of months of use) likes the volume marks, locking insulated handle and lid vent, found no rough edges (Adventure Alan did) and recommends it with a Fire Maple stove. Fellmandave (3; UK, tested against two other Petrel pots, cooked sausages and a curry in them) likes the stable slots and the lid strainer but misses a pouring lip and prefers the wider Petrel pots for real cooking. Steve Cleverdon's review is left out: although his sample was a disclosed gift, his page carries a Fire Maple discount code and affiliate links and reads as promotion, which we don't count.
