Congratulation to Mike Kelly, the winner of this give-a-way. Mike please email your address and phone number to me at mark.eric.young@gmail.com Thanks to everyone who entered and keep watching for the return of Fire Maple products to Amazon
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!
As a layperson all I can say is that this man really does seem to do his homework and has the requisite experience to absolutely back up the reviews. Bullet-proof reviews are in short supply on UA-cam, but not on this channel. Superb content, thank you from the UK.
Thank you for your kind words
Agreed. Intelligent, balanced, researched, tested, and courteous. Outstanding.
totally agreed!
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.
Interesting…. I’ll have to remember that tip. Thanks!
Good information. You are in. Thanks for commenting
I really enjoy your reviews. Not too long, helpful, and honest. Merry Christmas.
Happy holidays! Thanks for commenting
This is a very nice thorough review. I love the level of description of the small details. This was exactly what I was looking for and based on this review I bought it and a Fire Maple frying pan. Great products. Nice job Mark.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
Thank you for this review. I’ve been researching these types of pots for some time on Amazon, Walmart, Pathfinder, and UA-cam. This review seals the deal. Looks to be one of the most versatile for its size.
It is my go to pot when I am not testing something else out. Thanks for commenting
Thank you Mark for another comprehensive and thoroughly enjoyable comparison video and review.
I don't have a billy pot yet, maybe it's time that I look into one.
Count me in for the draw!

Thank you for another great and very thorough review. I've been checking out camp pot reviews for a while, and this appears to be what I have been waiting for. I would very much appreciate being added to the draw. Take care and thanks again.

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.
Thank you for your kind words and blessings
Thank you for the review and add my name to the drawing.
Merry Christmas and have a safe Holiday. 😎

Great review as usual, Mark! When I first saw the Fire Maple pot I thought it had all of the best features of the Zebra Billy and the Self Reliance Outfitters Pots. Happy holidays and I look forward to your next video.
Thanks for watching!
I have the Zebra pot, but the Fire Maple looks like a great improvement. Love your channel, Mark, Christmas blessings!
Happy holidays! Thanks for commenting
Great review Mark. I got one just after your initial video. I plan to use it a lot next camping season. And fot those interested i can confirm that in Poland you can get them at Decathlon
Great to hear! Thanks for commenting
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.
Yes, a good example are the common 750ml titanium cup/mugs. They are 750ml to the rim. Thanks for commenting
I don't know if this works over a fire , but , on My flat top electric stove , when boiling water , I lay a wooden spoon across the pot ... it doesn't boil over .
Fantastic video & comparison, as always, Mark! Count me in for the giveaway. Merry Christmas to you and the family!

Great review as always, Mark. I have the Camelwill pot based on your review of it. I would say the Fire Maple pot is an improvement and indeed a perfect replacement. I would very much like to be included in drawing for your giveaway of the Fire Maple pot. Thank you for all your reviews.

Great review Mark. Out of stock on US Amazon, but in stock on Fire Maples web site, so I grabbed one. Great looking pot.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for commenting
Thanks for the review. I was just looking at replacing my 12cm zebra and saw this video. Just bought one off the fire maple site. I hope it all goes well shipping it to Australia.
Good choice! I really like mine. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for the great review. I do have a Zebra Billy Pot for my twig stove I keep at home for power outages, it's a great pot. I've been considering buying another for camping and the Fire Maple bush pot looks great, so I'm definitely interested in the drawing. After your review of the Fire Maple kettle, I did buy one, it's a great kettle.

Thanks again for another great review. I was actually considering getting a Zebra 12 pot, but I’m now going to look more closely at the Maple Pot.
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Good video. I always enjoy watching your videos and have learned several things as someone that’s getting into Bushcrafting after being just the working guy. I’m certainly interested in getting in the drawing for the Fire Maple pot. Merry Christmas!

In the pot, or in the drawing?
Looks like a great pot thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mark, good review.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
Iv personally have had really bad experiences with this exact pot. Iv had 2 of them and sent both back.
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
Unfortunate. I have not had an issue. Wonder if quality control is dropping. Thanks for commenting
That pot looks nice, Mark! I am interested and in the USA. Happy Holidays!

It is my go-to pot right now. Thanks for commenting
Great Comparison Mark ! Hoping You & Yours Have A Safe & Merry Christmas ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks, you too Terry

I have always wanted a zebra pot but have never afforded myself one. But the fire maple pot looks much improved over the zebra pot! Count me in please! Name is John.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone 🎉

👍 Nice review. I appreciated the comparison with the other options. The Fire Maple is a dandy little pot.
Right on. It is my main use billy. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I ordered one based upon your review. 🙂
The handle on the Fire Maple is a very useful feature. My Zebra pot needs a notched stick to safely pour boiling water. The drilled steamer tray is brilliant as well.
I agree. Thanks for commenting
Great review on the pot I’ve got 2 Billy pots one from the Amazon and one from firebox with metal clips highly recommend that one anxious to try fire maple
Btw I’m in

This looks like a very well designed bush pot. Thanks for the review and comparing it to the competition.
I only whish they had a 14cm diameter version for my Solo Stove Titan...
Since I live in Europe I don't qualify for the giveaway, no problem!
Fire Maple may come out with a 14cm pot yet. Thanks for commenting
Hello Mark and Merry Christmas from your southern neighbors in ew Hampshire. I love your reviews. I own the Zebra and have enjoyed it for many years but these Fire Maple people really know how to improve on a good product to make it great. Please count me in for their giveaway. Mike K. From N.H. USA

Thanks for this video, It was very helpful. You could also put some foil in the steamer tray and use it as a second cooking pan.
Interesting idea. I would think it would work for steaming something. Maybe a small 4" pie foil pie plate. I will give this a try. Thanks for commenting
Beautiful pots! Just as soon as I find a safe place to buy? Just love them! Been looking at all the company's! They even have a poor over for coffee ☕ nice little lamps,,, perfect ❤️😉
Yes they are! Thanks for commenting
Great review. Like you, the idea of having to modify a newly purchased item is counter productive especially if there's a better version from a different manufacturer. Please add me to your drawing for the Fire Maple billy pot.

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!
I love that suggestion. Thanks for commenting
This company appears to make well thought out products. Great comparisons.
Thanks for commenting
Great video, Mark! I would love to have this Fire Maple pot!
You're in! Thanks for commenting
I like the closure system and the strainer basket. It does look like the best Billy pot.
Great design. Thanks for commenting
Just discovered that it is unavailable for ordering at this time.
@@angelafowler508 I just heard back from Fire Maple. The pot will be back in about 20 days
I would love the chance to win one of those Fire Maple Bush Pots!!! Happy Holidays from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦

I’m interested in the giveaway. Thank you. One thing that is rarely mentioned that I find is important is the sides of the bail being slanted or not. I have often had lids drop in the fire because the bail is inwardly slanted and I hit it while taking the lid off. The Fire Maple has a bail that goes straight up. Love it!

Mark, please add me to your list for the Firemaple pot. Thanks for another great review. Best of the holiday season to you and yours.

I'm very happy with mine. The locking lid was the sale point over the Pathfinder pot.

Count me in too! I actually have 2 Camel will 1.2 little pots (1 for fire, 1 for alcohol/gas) but I have been considering for a long time getting something I can bake in like the Billy Pot from Firebox Stoves. This would be a wonderful solution! Another great video to how best the three Firemaple is! Don't even see it here at Amazon in USA. THANKS MARK

Hello again Mark. I'm definitely interested in this giveaway. Thank you for the reviews you have done over the years they've likely saved me more money than I spent. Though after several years with a Firebox modified Zebra Billy I'm going to have to get two of these (wife wants one of her own). Now I know how Bushcrafters end up with so much gear! Happy Holidays to you.
Yes, exactly. You are in. Thanks for commenting
