Superlight, extremely well made, and beautiful design. Plus, it works exceptionally well... a must buy!

You know in all seriousness, and after 41 years of experience as a Search and Rescue Ranger, I think I've seen or used everything under the sun and far as backpacking stoves are concerned. And without trying to sound dramatic, this pot in combination with a Soto Windmaster stove and the three prong pot support, may very well be the best Kit for all but Mountaineering when very large amounts of snow must be melted. For I would say 95/98 percent of the rest of us. This pot with the neoprene sleeve is absolutely spot on. Lite, large enough without over doing it, great lid, a pour spout that actually works, no drips, and the best feature I think is the heat exchanger, I was somewhat skeptical of those at first, gimmick I wondered, but nope it's a real thing the actually increases the performance noticeably. All in all, if you asked me, I would say absolutely purchase this.

Simply the G.O.A.T. of backpacking cook pots! Perfect fit with a MSR pocket rocket deluxe, Soto Windmaster, or Fire Maple Green Peak II stove.

This pot has been one of the best pots I've used while trekking the outdoors. Great for individual use, or if 2 people, a second pot of water is boiled quickly thanks to the heat exchange system. Only down sides are minimal added weight and limited choices of stove compatibility, I would recommend the insulated sleeve. Protects the pot in transport and makes it easier to handle the pot. All in all, an excellent product for the price.

I like this product.

Wish it had a gasket around the lid to keep it snuggly in place and markings for 250ml and 500ml, but otherwise really quality piece. Love the functionality of the foldable pot handle and I appreciate the silicone lid handle. Alignment of the heat exchange slots with the GreenPeak stove's legs is easy and cooking is fast and efficient.

Worked as intended, little over minute to heat water. On windy conditions hard to see if piezo lighted the flame or not.

The G2 has the right amount of volume while also being compact and fitting my stove, small canister, and canister stand. I also like how the G2 fits and sets onto the stove rather than a twist/screwing method that other brands have (e.g., a primus I have), which can require more caution when twisting off the top when full of boiling water. I also appreciate the extra heat exchanger on the G2 itself. Lastly, I appreciate how Fire Maple allows you to create various combinations of the stove, pot, and whether to add a sleeve or not, among other options. Great Product. Would Recommend.
