      I received the pot yesterday and it is fantastic. I took it on a hike, steamed some Siu Mai in the steamer basket, and made some tea and miso soup while I was at it. It exceeded expectations in all regards. Thanks Mark and Fire Maple!

    When cooking over a fire soot stains the pot up to the level of the food. To keep soot away from the rim of the pan it is recommended that the level of food in the pot not come to with in an inch of the top. A cook that had been certified to cook over a wood fire told me that. He was a cook at a historic site. So I am glad that the makers of these cook pots do not expect people to fill the pot to the top. Also if you use the steamer basket the food should be below that anyway. Mary B Walsh. Interested in the pot give away.

    Well this video makes me happy as i have one of those pots on the way as I type. I researched a few other ones and I thought as you did the many features that I look for in a pot this one had. No modification to it at all. I'm glad to see you also came to the same conclusion that this is a perfect Bushpot. Firemaple did their homework in coming up with this one. Thank you sir for a great video and I subscribed to your channel as I believe you are a great person of knowledge and I hope in the future after watching your videos I will learn along the way. Brightest Blessings to you and as always may you never run out of places to explore.

    Designers need to take into consideration the usable practical volume of their advertised pot capacity. That's what I like the firemaple which gives you more volume because when cooking there's boilover, spillage when inserting a spoon to stir contents, evaporation loss of liquid etc. You're reviews are well done.

    • @MarkYoungBushcraft
      @MarkYoungBushcraft  Год назад

    The first one, the lid locking tabs, was broken in the mail. So I sent it back. I got a replacement. The second one I owned I used it for about a month and the same thing happend the lid tabs broke off.
    They seriously have to re design the locking tabs. I love everything else about the pot the locking tabs are a serious week point

    I've had this pot for about a month and it has become my favorite bush pot. One problem I did have was when using the steamer basket while also cooking something like soup underneath I found it extremely difficult to lift the hot steamer basket to check on what was cooking below. I remedied this with an easy modification. I took one of those copper egg holders that come with an Easter egg coloring kit, (Any stiff rust resistant wire will do) and I cut off the big loop at the bottom preserving the small loop at the top to act as a grab handle. I then stuck the wire through the center strainer hole and then made another small loop at the end of the wire to keep it from being pulled back through the strainer basket. So basically, I ended up with a 2.5" wire going through the middle of the strainer basket with a small loop at each end. With this modification you can now use a fork to grab the loop and lift the hot basket up out of the pot. I also found that if you lift up the wire while you are loading up the basket with something like broccoli, the food will keep the capture loop above the food level for easier access. I kept the capture wire loose so it could move and slide and be out of the way when packing up my Billy can with other equipment for transport. Now if only Fire Maple would make this pot in light-weight titanium!

    Hi Mark great comparison !. I own all 3 pots and agree that the fire Maple is superior in every way. Yes I'm in...lets be honest who can't use a second pot Lol !. Thanks for the review

    I am definitely interested. I have a Zebra, but after your review it seems this one has more to offer.
