Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Fire-Maple FMS-X2-Pro is a gas backpacking stove with a piezo ignition, a folding locking handle and a heat exchanger built into the pot. It sits at number 9 in this guide, priced at £70.95 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 120 ratings. Its headline figure is 7,507 BTU per hour — and that is where this listing gets interesting.
Every other stove in this guide quotes its output in watts, the unit most buyers here compare at a glance. The Fire-Maple quotes BTU per hour, and 7,507 BTU/h is 2,200 W, which is the same output the Campingaz Chef claims. Expressed in different units, the two headline numbers look like they belong to different classes of stove. The Fire-Maple is also the only stove in the guide that puts a boil time next to its output: 0.5 L in 100 seconds using the heat exchanger, said to be up to 30% faster than a general backpacking stove, with no baseline stove named. One number in the listing does not close: the star chart totals 100 ratings while the review count on the same page reads 120. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.
