Fire Maple Polaris Pressure Regulator Cooking System | Portable Camping Backpacking Gas Stove with Piezo Ignition POT Support & Stand | Compact Gas Stove Burner for Hiking Bushcraft Trekking (Blue)

I bough the Polaris and the Star X1 to compare themPolaris:Pro: appears to be made of quality material. Like the X1 it will hold 1 ltr. The infighter is easy to use and works perfectly. The regulator is easy to turn and you can bring the flame down to a simmer easily. The X1 is more of a challenge to adjust. The Polaris has an internal piece in the regulator to keep the flame consistent regardless of the fuel pressure.The lid has a locking mechanism when stowing it away. Everything fits inside.Con: it’s $30-40 more than the X1. Although everything fits inside, I’m adding something to protect the ignition wire over the stove. The fuel can fits over this piece when packed, but not sure after bumping around it wouldn’t damage it.

En general funciona bastante bien, pero en ocasiones no hace bien el contacto del gas y hay que poner y quitar varias veces el cartucho. Lo hemos utilizado durante 10 días de trekking y estamos contentos con la compra.

I actually purchased the X2 to begin with and have just returned it. The quality and finish were excellent, but I think mine had a fault, where others users are getting 3 or 4 min boil times mine was 6 min 46s indoors and much longer outdoors in the cold Scottish winds. Anyway, I sent it back and just when I was going to order another one, I saw this and for a bit more cash (£76 with Amazon voucher) I decided to give it a try. I alreadyhave the 2x Polaris stoves which i bought as they are similar in design to the Soto stove i have but much more cost effective.(remote canister and canister ) and they are trully brilliant stoves, sorry Msr and Primus but in use these are better products than you currently offer ! FACT. Anyway, this arrived today. Its marginally bigger than the x2 maybe 5 mm in diameter and a few mm taller. The bag, which on the fms x2 was too tight is now nice and loose and the lid clip is a snug fit and holds all the main components together well. The fit and finish are excellent and the handle seems to be made of a higher quality plastic than before. My only gripe is the new pot stand which is now simpler and rattles about a bit ( probably to keep weight down), but I found that if you put it upside down at the bottom of the pan and the put all the other components of the stove in the order they are supposed to go, then it's stops the rattle completely...! Take note I filled the pot with cold tap water to just over the 1 liter Mark and started the stove and timer on ignition. It took 4.13 seconds to a roaring boil with the same gas can I used on the x2 with less water and it took almost 7 mins. This gas can is one filled with 70/30 butane propane mix. It was also probably 2/3 full, so with a full can of isobutane propane I'd expect this time to drop even more. At 3.33 seconds quicker than my x2 which was the 2022 2.2kw version and this only being 1.8kw. I'm extremely happy. This is a very fast boiling stove full stop and should be more efficient on gas than the x2. Its more suited for use with 2 people and for making ready meals, but this is what's it's intended for. It's easily every bit as good, if not better than the current Jet Boil stoves of which I've had a few. Some people don't like the handle, I simply cannot understand this as its one of the best features and locks securely in place. I hate those flimsy handles on the jetboilds and Msr windburner. I'd say this could well be my favourite all in one jet stove yet. The polaris inverted burners offer excellent wind performance and with the built in windshield and heat exchanger this has to be a winner.....

Surprised how quickly it boils water, never used a Jetboil before due to price, thought I’ll give this unit a try at the price point and it also has the regulator feature that’s lacking from Jetboil unless you go with the minimo or the sumo but at a much higher price point.I was genuinely blown away when I cooked some ramen at a hiking trip and surprised how easy and simple it was to use.Only negative is that the neoprene sleeve can get dirty quite easily if you don’t clean it straight away after eating soup based food.
