Fire Maple GreenPeak Stove and Petrol Pot Review: A 13 oz Cook Kit for About $74

Introduction

An ultralight cook kit only earns its place in a pack when it is light, compact, and dependable enough to trust on a cold morning. This setup pairs two Fire Maple components, the GreenPeak stove and the Petrol pot, with a titanium cup and a long handle titanium spoon. Together they weigh 13 oz, and bought separately the full kit comes to roughly $74. The stove and pot alone cost $44.

After a couple of months of regular use, the appeal is clear. This is a simple system that does not ask much of the buyer in terms of weight, money, or fuss.

What Is in This Ultralight Cook Kit

The kit is built around a few plain pieces. The Fire Maple Petrol pot holds 20.2 oz, or 600 mL, and is made from aluminum with a locking handle system that includes a silicone grip. A 450 mL titanium cup nests alongside it with butterfly handles on the back, giving the two containers a combined capacity of 35.4 oz, or about 1,046 mL. A long handle titanium spoon measures 8.5 inches, with a hole at the top for a lanyard and a polished bowl. A lighter completes the kit as a backup for the stove’s built-in igniter.

The weight breakdown is where this kit justifies itself. The complete set with every component is 13 oz. The pot with its lid is 5.8 oz, the titanium cup is 1.9 oz, and the stove with its storage bag is 3.1 oz. Paper towels tucked inside the pot pull double duty: they soak up moisture and they stop the contents from rattling around while you hike.

Fire Maple GreenPeak Stove: Power, Control, and Stability

The GreenPeak is a compact stove rated at 9,550 BTUs, and it runs on isobutane canisters only. Foldable pot supports, a flame adjuster, and a built-in igniter are all part of the design, and the stove head carries a partial windscreen. The three pot supports sit about 2.5 inches apart, so they accept a wide range of pots, cups, and pans rather than only the matching pot.

Simmer control is one of the stove’s strongest traits. It boils water quickly with the valve opened up, and it dials back far enough for gentle simmering. The built-in igniter has fired every time in testing, and the stove seals onto a canister without leaking gas. Build quality is good as well, with no rough edges or finishing issues despite the low price.

The partial windscreen is useful in a light breeze, but in genuinely windy conditions an external windscreen is still necessary.

Fire Maple Petrol Pot: Capacity, Heat Spreader, and Handle

The Petrol pot is an aluminum 600 mL pot with measurement markings on the inside and a heat spreader built into the base. The heat spreader works the way the name suggests: flame from the stove hits the bottom of the pot and spreads out across a set of fins, which is intended to speed up boiling and distribute heat more evenly across the base.

The handle system is the other standout. The locking mechanism holds the lid and the contents securely in place when closed, and it stays rigid when locked open. A silicone insulator on the handle means the pot can be picked up straight after boiling without burning your hands. The lid includes a grab tab plus vent and drain holes, and the storage bag is sized well enough that the pot and everything inside it fit without trouble.

There is one important limitation. The pot only works with certain stoves. It attaches by lining up the pot supports with matching holes in the base, which then locks the pot in place. With the GreenPeak, that connection is extremely stable.

Performance and Boil Times

Boil time is the most practical measure of any stove and pot pairing, and the numbers here are respectable rather than record setting. In controlled indoor conditions, two cups of water, or 16 oz, reached a boil in 1 minute and 59 seconds, with a working figure of about 2 minutes. Outdoor conditions shift constantly with air temperature, fuel temperature, and wind, so field results will vary from that figure.

The heat spreader earns its place, though the gain is modest. Boiling two cups of water in a pot with a heat spreader took 2 minutes, while the same test in a pot without one took 2 minutes and 18 seconds. That is roughly 20 seconds in favor of the heat spreader, a real difference but not a dramatic one. Whether 20 seconds matters on a trail morning is a question only the buyer can answer.

Weight and Cost Breakdown

Cost is where this kit separates itself from most ultralight cookware. The GreenPeak stove is $20 and the Petrol pot is $24, for $44 together. The titanium spoon adds $10 and the titanium cup adds $20, bringing the complete kit to about $74. A lighter is not included in that figure, since many households already have one.

Fire Maple does offer a bundled pot and stove kit, but it is worth looking closely at what is inside it. The bundled stove lacks the built-in igniter found on the GreenPeak, and the GreenPeak offers more BTUs. The bundle is also priced well above the $44 the stove and pot cost when bought separately, which makes the separate purchase the more sensible route for most buyers.

Things to Consider Before Buying

The GreenPeak is not the fastest stove on the market. Its performance is good rather than exceptional, and some stoves can boil the same two cups of water about 30 seconds faster. How much that matters depends entirely on how you use it, and on whether shaving half a minute off a boil is worth paying for elsewhere.

Fuel choice is fixed. The stove runs on isobutane canisters only, so there is no flexibility on that front. The pot’s mounting system is stove specific, which means it pairs best with a stove whose pot supports line up with its base. The partial windscreen handles a light breeze and nothing more, so a separate windscreen belongs in the pack for exposed terrain. None of these are deal breakers, but they are the details worth knowing before you commit.

Spoon and Cup: The Supporting Components

The two accessories round out the kit without adding much weight or cost. The titanium cup holds 450 mL, or 15.2 oz, and uses butterfly handles that fold flat against the body. The long handle titanium spoon reaches 8.5 inches, long enough for most outdoor meals and dehydrated pouches, and its polished bowl is pleasant to eat from. There is little to criticize here given the $10 and $20 price points, and the cup doubles the kit’s capacity so one container can hold coffee while the other cooks.

Buying Advice

If the goal is a light, inexpensive cook kit that performs predictably, this combination delivers. Buy the GreenPeak stove and the Petrol pot separately at $44, then add the titanium cup and spoon to reach about $74 for the complete setup. That path gives you a built-in igniter, more output, and a pot that locks onto the stove with no wobble.

The pot’s heat spreader is worth having if you boil water often, and the insulated locking handle is the kind of detail that matters every single time you lift a full pot off a flame. The 2.5 inch pot support spacing also means the stove is not limited to one pot, so the kit can grow or shrink with your plans. If boil speed is the single most important spec to you, other stoves will be faster. If weight, price, and a stable pot-to-stove connection matter more, this kit makes a strong case.

Conclusion

This is a lightweight, compact, and inexpensive system that does what it promises. Every component weighs little, the quality is solid across the board, and the stove and pot work together as a genuinely stable platform. The modest trade-offs, namely boil times that trail the fastest stoves and a pot that only fits certain stove designs, are easy to live with at this price. For a kit that comes in at 13 oz and about $74, the GreenPeak stove and the Petrol pot are an easy recommendation.
