Fire Maple Petrel Ultralight Series

The Fire Maple Petrel Ultralight Series is purpose-built for fast, fuel-efficient backcountry boiling in a compact ultralight format. With integrated heat-exchanger pots and a high-efficiency stove system, it’s optimized for solo backpackers who want dependable performance, strong wind resistance, and minimal pack weight.

The lineup includes the Petrel Ultralight G3 HX Pot 600ML (approx. 162g), the Petrel Ultralight G2 Pot 750ml (approx. 184.5g), and the integrated Petrel Quickboil Pro System (approx. 255g). Many setups can nest a 110g fuel canister inside the pot, maximizing pack efficiency for minimalist kits.

The Petrel system is designed to deliver quick boil times while using fuel efficiently. Its heat-exchanger (HX) base improves heat transfer from the stove to the pot and helps retain heat around the cooking surface, which reduces energy loss and improves overall performance. Paired with the Hornet II stove, the Petrel G3 HX Pot boils 500ml in approximately 1 minute 25 seconds in lab conditions. This efficiency helps extend the life of small fuel canisters, making the system well suited for ultralight and multi-day trips where weight and fuel economy matter.

This series performs best for solo hikers or small teams of one to two people. It excels at boiling water for dehydrated meals, coffee, or quick trail cooking. For complex meal prep or large-group use, a larger cooking system is recommended.

Yes. Petrel pots are designed to work with many standard EN417 threaded canister stoves. Optimal pairing is typically achieved with Fire Maple models such as Greenpeak, Hornet 2, or FMS-103. Always confirm clearance and fit with your specific stove.

Petrel cookware is primarily made from lightweight aluminum alloy, which provides excellent heat transfer while keeping pack weight low. Many models also include silicone components, such as insulated handle grips, for safer handling when the pot is hot. The integrated heat-exchanger fins at the base should be handled carefully during packing and cleaning to help maintain long-term performance.

The Petrel system is engineered primarily for boiling efficiency rather than gourmet backcountry cooking. The narrow pot profile favors speed over advanced simmering, and the system is not intended for heavy group use or large cookware loads.

Before buying, verify:

• Whether you need the 600ml or 750ml capacity
• Whether the package includes the stove or pot only
• Total packed weight and materials (aluminum vs. titanium variants)
• Compatibility with your current stove and fuel canisters
• Whether the stove is regulated for cold or high-altitude trips
• Fire Maple products are covered under our standard warranty — see full details on our warranty page.
