Pah! Ed and his heavy stove!

Tbh the Snow Peak Lite Max looks a lot more substantial for that extra tiny 6g.

I was going to ask Jon if he could put a penny next to it as a scale or something.

I've only got the Snowpeak Ti Max which is 70g - it's now an ultra-heavyweight stove

My old Primus Micron with PZ is positively obese at something like 86 or 97g. Still, it all comes down to the size of your whole package not the bit on the end, by that I mean the gas can, pans, windshield stove feet or supports and lighter/firesteel/matches. The burner is probably the lightest part of your food production kit. IF you can live without cooking you will save more than the measly 6g from your snowpeak Ti max lite.

Of course there will now spring up a whole new stovie thread comparing the boil times and weight for differnt lengths of trips of trips against home made meths stoves and caldera clone systems. Thanks a lot Go-gas, just what we need.

hey guys, this stove is made by a Chinese brand called Fire Maple, not Go System. The moldel number is 116t in Fire Maple's product line. I've used this stove for a while, yes ,it's well made and can adjust the output sensitively, but the  design has a defect which is the fire may blow to one side when using  the max output. Not Every stove may happen, but some of them has this problem.

> hey guys, this stove is made by a Chinese brand called Fire Maple, not Go System.

The 'made in the UK' in the news item certainly made me raise a quizzical eyebrow.  It would have been nice to see manufacturing in the UK, but seemed unlikely to me...

Oh, and in case anyone's in any doubt about Tian Qiu's information, have a look at this image, taken from the other GoSystem news item:

Yes, that's right, it even says 'Fire-Maple' in the middle of the burner...

Yep, apologies for that. Misunderstanding on our part, the stoves are made in China. I've edited the article(s) to correct that.

Anyone checked out the rekri8 website? there's no mention of this stove or the other new models. Am I looking at the wrong site? I can't see anythingon the go-gas systems site neither or the cadac site.

Anyone know where to find details other than on the fire maple site? Also what is the FRAR site? Is it DoE site or something else? I got that as a source of info from the fly ti competition on this site.
