Product Overview

The Fire-Maple “Fixed Star 1” Backpacking and Camping Stove System delivers a complete, ready-to-use cooking setup for outdoor enthusiasts who demand efficiency, durability, and simplicity. Designed for backpackers, hikers, trekkers, anglers, and hunters, this integrated system combines a high-performance jet burner with a 1-liter hard anodized aluminum pot and essential accessories—all engineered to work seamlessly together. Whether you’re simmering a warm meal at high elevation, boiling water for coffee on a remote trail, or preparing emergency rations, the Fixed Star 1 provides consistent, reliable heat with minimal effort. Its thoughtful design prioritizes packability without sacrificing performance, making it a trusted companion for solo adventures and small-group excursions alike.

Key Features

Highly Efficient Heat Exchange Technology – Engineered to reduce wind interference and cut boiling times by up to 30% compared to standard backpacking stoves. This technology channels heat more effectively to the pot, ensuring faster cooking even in exposed or breezy environments like mountain ridges or open coastlines.
Ultra-Compact and Lightweight Design – At just 18 ounces (510 grams), the entire system—including the stove, pot, and compatible fuel canister—stows neatly inside the 1-liter cook pot. This space-saving design maximizes room in your pack and reduces overall load, ideal for long-distance treks where every ounce counts.
Integrated Stove and Pot System – The stove and pot are built as a unified unit for quick, tool-free assembly and breakdown. A built-in piezoelectric ignitor delivers instant, match-free lighting with a simple push-button mechanism, eliminating the need for matches or lighters in damp or windy conditions.
Durable and Safe Construction – The 1-liter pot is made from hard anodized aluminum, offering excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and high heat. It distributes heat evenly to prevent hot spots and scorching. The stainless steel handle locks securely in place during use for safe handling and folds down flush when stored.
Insulated Neoprene Pot Cover – Wrapped around the pot, this cover provides a heat-resistant, comfortable grip while cooking and helps retain heat, improving fuel efficiency. It also protects the pot from scratches and dents during transport.
Fuel Compatibility – Designed to work with most standard threaded propane/isobutane fuel canisters (not included), offering flexibility for refills in various regions. Note: This system is not compatible with COLEMAN fuel canisters.

Benefits & Use Cases

The Fixed Star 1 shines in real-world outdoor conditions where speed, reliability, and minimal pack space are essential. Its wind-resistant heat exchange design makes it particularly effective during high-altitude hikes or coastal fishing trips where gusts can disrupt weaker stoves. Backpackers will appreciate how the entire system—stove, pot, and fuel—fits inside the cookware, freeing up valuable space for other gear. The instant piezoelectric ignition and rapid boil time are invaluable when energy is low or daylight is fading, allowing for quick meal prep without fumbling for matches. Hunters and anglers benefit from the rugged build and consistent performance across repeated uses in remote, rugged terrain. The insulated neoprene cover ensures safe handling even after extended cooking sessions, while the secure handle prevents spills. This system is equally suited for solo travelers preparing a hot drink at camp or small groups cooking lightweight meals in the wilderness.

Important Notes

For optimal performance—especially in windy conditions—use a windscreen (not included) to shield the flame and improve heat retention. Always ensure the fuel canister is properly threaded and securely attached before ignition to prevent leaks or misfires. The system is not compatible with COLEMAN fuel canisters; only standard threaded propane/isobutane canisters should be used. After each use, clean the burner and pot to remove food residue and soot, which can affect performance over time. Store all components dry to prevent corrosion or damage, particularly in humid or coastal environments. Regular maintenance ensures long-term reliability and safety in the field.
