Fire-Maple FMS-118 Ultralight Backpacking Stove with Piezo Ignition, 2600W

The Fire-Maple FMS-118 stands out among portable stoves by combining a remarkably low weight of just 146 grams with a powerful 2600-watt burner and a built-in piezoelectric igniter. Unlike many ultralight stoves that sacrifice convenience for weight savings, this model delivers instant push-button lighting and a foldable, compact design that slips into its included hard case—making it a top choice for hikers and campers who refuse to compromise on performance or packability.

Highlights

• Ultralight construction: only 146 g (5.15 oz) without canister
• High output: 2600 W (8870 BTU/h) for fast boiling
• Piezoelectric ignition: no matches or lighter needed
• Folds down to 75 x 88.5 mm and stores in a protective hard case
• Stepless flame control for precise simmering
• Durable stainless steel, aluminum, and copper build

In daily use

On the trail, the FMS-118 proves its worth from the first meal. Screw it onto any standard EN417 threaded butane/propane canister, unfold the three pot supports, and press the piezo button—the burner lights instantly, even in breezy conditions. The wide 145 mm pot support diameter accommodates most solo cookware, while the stepless valve lets you go from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer for rice or sauces. With a fuel consumption of 180 g/h, a 230 g canister provides roughly 1 hour 15 minutes of burn time, enough for several days of solo meals. The stove cools quickly and folds back into its case, fitting easily into a pot or side pocket.
