Blade 2 Stove
Fire-Maple Blade 2 Stove Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Blade 2 is Fire-Maple's ultralight canister stove with a titanium alloy burner head and stainless steel pot supports. At 48 grams, it splits the difference between the BRS-3000T's minimalism and the PocketRocket's refinement. Decent simmer control and a built-in piezo igniter sweeten the deal.
Who Is the Fire-Maple Blade 2 Stove Best For?
Value-minded bikepackers who want ultralight weight with better features than the BRS. If that describes your riding style, the Blade 2 Stove should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Cooking Gear category alongside 12other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 48g and $32, the Blade 2 Stove is 38g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork at 10g). The most budget-friendly option is the Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork at $10.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $67 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.
What We Like
- +Excellent weight-to-performance ratio at 48g
- +Built-in piezo igniter saves carrying a lighter
- +Better simmer control than the BRS-3000T
- +Strong value at $32
Watch Out For
- −Pot supports are adequate but not as stable as the PocketRocket
- −Less brand recognition means fewer user reviews
- −Wind performance is average without a screen
The Bottom Line
The Fire-Maple Blade 2 Stove earns a 4.2/5 rating. It's a solid performer that does most things well. Excellent weight-to-performance ratio at 48g is the standout feature, though pot supports are adequate but not as stable as the pocketrocket is worth considering before you buy.
