On this overcast, damp morning it was the turn of the Speedster Stoves 30ml Spill Proof Meths/Alcohol Burner to be used with the Fire Maple Lotus Titanium Solid Fuel Stove to make the mornings brew.
It’s a great combo that works well.
I should point out in the UK that we cannot use the intended fuel with this stove. The Fire Dragon fuel is not a good combo with this stove with the slots in the base. So this makes a great light, compact base for something like this speedster stove.
The pot is a Trangia small mess tin, which not only holds the stove setup above but also the Trangia small mess tin insert cover, the Trangia multi disc for the small mess tin, a third party chopping board (not decided which I like the most yet), a small Nalgene bottle for fuel.
All this is stored in the Trangia roll top cover for the small mess tin.
I like this as a grab and go brew kit. Mind you it’s not the only one I have. I like options so I can choose on the day. I’m weird like that. I let my mood on the day choose what stove set up I use. Along with my intended use. Some setups are better for just boiling water, while others are more flexible on what they allow you to do.

I have to say I am enjoying this weeks morning projects of playing with the stoves. It’s good to keep the skills up to date.

It’s bin day so before I even contemplated having my first coffee I had to put out the bin bags for two houses. You’d be surprised how much rubbish an old lady with a cat generates.
However once that chore was over my thoughts turned to making the first caffeine hit of the day.
It was only going to be made one way this morning, using the new Fire Maple pour over kettle that arrived yesterday. The stove I used was also by Fire Maple, their Greenpeak 1. The pour over was the pajak flat v60 pour over.
Even with the Greenpeak not at full blast boiled the water very quickly thanks to those heat fins on the base.

The pour over kettle fits inside a G3 but you aren’t going to get the rice cooker in as well. If I recall the marketing material correctly the G3 should fit this and the cup/pot. Not sure about a stove fitting either. I can see possibly something like the BRS3000 fitting. But the Greenpeak 1? It’s going to be tight if it fits at all.

Obviously with the design being a detachable handle so it can be stored in the G3, the handle does have a bit of wobble or looseness. I’d also be concerned about the seals used and the wear and tear on them.

I have to say size wise this is perfect for the solo camper. The 350ml capacity also perfect for a single mug of java.

A nice addition to the options available for that caffeine fix outdoors.
