Fire-Maple Blade 2 Stove — Specs & Analysis
Manufacturer specifications, compared against every other cooking gear in our database. We do not test gear in the field — we measure, verify, and compare.
The Blade 2 is Fire-Maple's canister stove with a titanium alloy burner head and stainless steel pot supports. At 135 grams it is the heaviest bare stove here — the BRS-3000T is 25g and the PocketRocket 2 is 73g — so it is not the one to pick on weight. What you get for the extra is a built-in piezo igniter and genuinely usable simmer control.
Who Is the Fire-Maple Blade 2 Stove Best For?
Riders who want a piezo igniter and simmer control, and will carry 60g more than a PocketRocket to get them. 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 17 other products we track.
How It Compares
At 135g and $70, the Blade 2 Stove is 125g 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 $52 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
- +Built-in piezo igniter saves carrying a lighter
- +Better simmer control than the BRS-3000T
- +Titanium alloy burner head
Watch Out For
- −135g is the heaviest bare canister stove we track
- −$70 buys a lighter Soto WindMaster or a cheaper PocketRocket 2
- −Pot supports are adequate but not as stable as the PocketRocket
- −Wind performance is average without a screen
The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the Fire-Maple Blade 2 Stove, and neither has anyone else we can cite. It's here for its verified specifications and dimensions, which is what the fit tools run on — a score is an editorial judgement, and we don't hand one out until someone has a basis for it. What this page can tell you is measured: 135g, $70, and how both sit against every other cooking gear product we track.

Specifications and dimensions come from the sources listed above. Where a page draws on first-hand riding, it says so.
What it packs down to
Fire-Maple publishes a packed size of 2 x 2 x 2.5 in, which is 0.2 litres as a folded block. Of the 55 bags we track that publish a capacity, 55 have room for it and 0 do not.
Volume is computed from Fire-Maple's own packed size, treating a two-dimension figure as a stuff sack. Bag capacities are the makers' published figures, not ours — 12 of the bags we hold dimensions for publish no capacity and are left out of the count rather than assumed. A stuff sack does not reshape itself, so read the headroom as room to spare rather than a guarantee it goes in easily.
How it compares
Against the 18 cooking gear products we hold published specs for.
At 135g the Blade 2 Stove is lighter than 8 of 17 alternatives we track. The category median is 111g.
At $70 it undercuts 4 of 17 of them, against a median of $43. That works out at $52 per 100g — above the $49 median for cooking gear products.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
