Get the Triflex for the Soto Windmaster. It fits perfectly in the FireMaple G3. Also used the Triflex on the Campingmoon XD2F - also works very well on the Firemaple.
Soto windmaster triplex Doesn’t fit right on the camping moon xd2f (clone windmaster) i like the Greenpeak and BRS (need to bend to fit) and the Soto windmaster w/ triplex. On my G3 petrel fire maple.
I've been doing boil comparisons with the Fire Maple Polaris (identical to the Green Peak, but with a pressure regulator and no ignitor), Soto Windmaster and Campingmoon XD-2F (windmaster knockoff). They're quite similar in many ways. Similar fuel efficiency, weight and wind resistance. With the SOTO TriFlex the Windmaster and Campingmoon can work with the Petrel pot. A few takeaways I concluded after testing include: 1.) the Campingmoon is the best value 2.) the Polaris is the easiest to fit to the with the Petrel pot and 3.) Campingmoon has the highest maximum output.
@@266ybrett Nice tests! I would consider picking up one of the Campingmoon stoves if I didn’t already have the Windmaster. Seems to be a cheaper copy of the Soto version with a similar design and output.
@@DaveOffGrid I choose the Campingmoon equivalent to the Windmaster - not due to price, but its phenomenal output and fast boiling times with Tri-flex and the Petrel pot. One extra benefit over the Windmaster is its more logical location of its first start every time piezo button.
@@peteriss9692 Been hearing great things about the Campingmoon option! Thanks for your input! And you're previewing my next video with the triflex on the stove and using it with the Petrel pot! 🤣
@@DaveOffGrid That's excellent and I'm looking forward to that one! One more stove review idea for you, that is lacking a UA-cam review (at least in English), is the Kovea V1 stove - unfortunately not actively sold in USA and Europe due to MSR's contractual restrictions, but is availabe on Ebay from Korea. It also looks like an excellent stove similar to the Windmaster or Campingmoon, but with built-in sizable 3 arm pot stands that look superior to the otherwise very similar (made by Kovea) MSR PRD. I'm waiting for delivery of mine :)
@peteriss9692 Looks like a cool stove! The price on eBay right now looks similar to the Soto and MSR counterparts. But you're right looks very similar!
Really good comparison Dave. I’ve always wondered why the price of stoves is so high (name brands). One thing i noticed that I don’t see anyone talking in reviews about is does the fuel still leak out when you leave the stove attached with the nozzles off. So when you shut off the valve and let it set for a minute in some cases you can relight it and a small flame is there. I have a fire maple stove and it does that. So i guess my point is that you can bleed your fuel if you leave the stove attached. Probably a good thing to test for. Not all of my stoves do that. Love your reviews. Very detailed. 👍
Thanks Dan! That's an interesting theory. I would assume if you shut the valve off there may be a tiny bit of fuel trapped in the line, sort of like if you were to turn off a grill at the knobs instead of at the propane source. This makes build quality of stoves even more important!!
Thanks Dave. I like this series. I’m a MSR user myself. I only boil water for my meals in a small Toaks pot at one burn per day. If I had to choose between the Soto and Fire Maple I’d probably go with the Maple. If it was for reliability, I’d just stay with my trail proven Pocket Rocket. Tip: Even with a built in igniter, always bring a small lighter.
Thanks Jerry! True, very subjective. For the price the Fire Maple does a decent job but I do question the build quality, especially it's performance over time. I normally recommend getting a stove with a regulator as well to have something that's built for a bunch of different scenarios.
Nice comparison. If I were buying now I'd probably think about the Soto Amicus without the igniter over over my Windmaster. But then the one of the reasons I grabbed the Windmaster was for the regulator which I appreciate. Less sputtering when the canister gets low. The igniter on my Windmaster is really flaky though. I need to use a lighter with it. The Fire Maple stove looks like a solid design but yeah the Windmaster is pretty fantastic. I can barely hear it when I turn down the flame.
Great points Rod! Regulator for me is key. I also like the triflex with the windmaster to be able to use it with my Fire Maple Petrel UL pot. The slots for the feet are nice and I'll be testing the performance of those feet and the windmaster with that pot.
Get the Triflex for the Soto Windmaster. It fits perfectly in the FireMaple G3. Also used the Triflex on the Campingmoon XD2F - also works very well on the Firemaple.
Spoiler alert for my next video! 😆 Thanks for confirming the Campingmoon with the G3! I'll pin this one for the viewers!

@@rudeman1914 It does fit, Soto Triflex with Campingmoon XD-2F.. I just put it on again. Where can I send a pic?
@ I end up buying the Soto windmaster w/ triplex to fit my G3 I’m going to try again. Thanks
@rudeman1914 it def works! 🙌

Great video. I love all the combos you did. I ended up combining the Soto windmaster/triflex with the Firemaple pot
