That’s interesting about the color change in flame with power setting. Thanks!

I only have the one micro-stove but I would be interested to see if this occurs across all the other brands. Appears to be an all or nothing kind of stove. Thanks for commenting

I’m excited! I just got mine in the mail 🎉 Such a good informative video 🫡

Thanks again. Your Firemaple Frost pot is raw aluminium, it looked just like it and Ali express state Material... Aluminium, & Stainless steel. Very impressed, from you review, with the Hornet, great regulation. . Best regards Colin

I asked Fire Maple about the FROST and they responded it is anodized. Thanks for commenting

A windscreen with a canister stove needs to be limited to the area above the canister itself. You don’t want the heat from the stove reflecting onto the canister. Manufacturer warnings all over the place on that.

I agree, there is a risk if the windscreen is too close the canister or encloses it all the way around. However, if it is set back enough and open on one side it is more safe to use. Thanks for commenting

I use the Ocelot windscreen from Flat Cat Gear with my BRS-3000t canister micro-stove, as it has a reflection plate to protect the gas canister from excessive heat. As well, FCG recommends turning down the BRS to 1/3rd power. This extends the boil time, into alcohol type range, but conserves fuel, and like alcohol, is much quieter 👍 The D90-100mm windscreen encircles the whole burner, and matches to my Boundless Voyage tall skinny 900ml pot, D95mm with locking handle (equivalent to the Stanley Adventure Camp cook pot but in titanium). Unfortunately, it CAN'T be adjusted to my short fat 900ml mug/pot with bail handle that I use for cooking & eating from, instead of just boiling water, but I'm thinking of mating it to the X-boil instead, and making a foldable mug coozy, instead of the dollar store insulated lunch bag that I use now. (The lunch bag doesn't fit in my one pot nesting system) With my leftover inoperable brain tumor, I avoid plastic touching my food when heating or rehydrating, and use my short fat mug/pot instead of pouring boiled water into the plastic dehydrated or freeze dried food bag. I repackage my dehydrated/freeze dried meals

So the anecdotes go. Hard evidence is lacking.

I have the Fire Maple "Small one". Well, it is very inefficient and loud too. A good proof on that is that when I make a pot of water with the compact stove in my kitchen, you can smell gas. NO issue with my Soto windmaster. The Hornet seems to be a good stove, just I THINK it could be quite wind-sensitive. Thanks Mark

I agree the Hornet is a bit subject to wind affecting it, but not a big deal. Thanks for commenting

Very interesting how these stoves work. The level of heat control is impressive. I could see a polypore tea simmering away on one of those for sure. Thanks for sharing Mark.

Right on Steve. A nice slow simmer. Thanks for commenting

You should try the Fire Maple Hornet II with their Petrel HX pot. I’m waiting on the stove to arrive but already have the pot. I think boil time and fuel usage will both drop with that combination. Flat Cat Gear has a nice simple and lightweight solution for a windscreen for the Hornet II. You should check it out as well. Nice review.

Thanks for watching!

A Piezo lighter can never be fully trusted anyway, particularly at higher elevations. I’ve run into a number of stoves where the Piezo stops working over 9500 feet yet has no issues when brought down to lower elevations. Strange. I carry a lighter or matches anyway, as a result. A stove not having a Piezo isn’t a showstopper, as a result. It just adds weight.

Agreed, and they always seem to stop working when you need them the most. Thanks for commenting

The boulin (?) sucks. At high power there’s this long jet that would largely be wasted.

I agree Jim. Not my favourite stove. The BRS version may be better but I don't need to buy another stove. Thanks for commenting
