About Fire Maple Polaris Pressure Regulator Cooking System
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
90% impressed by the boil time
I compared the boil time of this stove with my previous one and found that it takes 4.13 seconds to boil with the same gas can and less water. It took almost 7 minutes to boil with the same gas can and more water.
I have read reviews that state the Polaris boils 1 liter of water in about 3 minutes and 30 seconds, faster than the Jetboil Flash.
I tested the boil speed and found it reached a full rolling boil at 4 minutes 10 seconds.
It took me about 3 and a half minutes to bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
86% appreciated the durable construction, but 14% experienced issues
When filled with water, the stove is top heavy, but the base legs make a huge difference to stability.
I found that the stove is virtually windproof and performs well even in a stiff breeze.
This stove is intended for making ready meals and is more suited for use with two people.
The product quality is really good and seems like a great value for money.

89% found it easy to use
I cannot understand why some people do not like the handle, as it is one of the best features and locks securely in place.
Both X2 and Polaris come with an attachment to turn the stove into an open flame, usable with any cook pot.
87% praised the flame control
I got this product because of the regulator to adjust the flame and the controls work well.
I can easily turn the regulator and bring the flame down to a simmer.
I can fine tune the Polaris heat output by twisting a gas flow regulator.
91% liked the portable design, while 9% thought it was bulky
This stove is well sized and lightweight, making it easy to carry while camping or backpacking.
I chose this product because of its larger capacity, pot stand, and fold-out legs.
The product is difficult to carry while backpacking due to its heavy and bulky nature.
71% appreciated the wind resistance
I cooked hot drinks, scrambled eggs, beans, pastas, and other stuff on the stove in very windy weather and it performed excellently.
I was able to boil water for coffee within minutes on the stove, even in the heaviest of winds.
The stove is virtually windproof and does not suffer much performance loss even in a pretty stiff breeze.
The Polaris inverted burners are a winner with excellent wind performance and a built-in windshield and heat exchanger.
