TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Fire Maple FMS-117T

I've been interested in this stove for a while. I own a Manotauk Gnat and a remote cannister stainless Firemaple stove which I paid $35 for.

The cheaper design remote cannister stove seems to be ok. Anyway, the lighter titanium FMS-117T is now AU$$57 on ebay so I bought one. This is down from over $100 a couple of months back. I figured this was worthy of a mention as this is cheap for probably the only remote cannister stove under 100g on the market. Add 10g for a bic lighter... :wink:

The FMS 118 has a preheat tube & is made of stainless steel, coming in at a svelte 146grams
or you could combine the best features of both models..... :wink:

Voila...the Frankenstove.
Preheat tube from the FMS 118 & the titanium legs/pot support from the FMS 117t.......118gms
A straight forward switch & swap.
Both models have good simmer adjustment & a fuel sucking blow torch mode.
With a wide burner head, more suited to wider based pots than the tall, narrow & skinny.
