Our Verdict

The Fire Maple Hornet 2 Titanium Gas Stove is an ultralight, powerful option for backpackers seeking compact cooking gear. Weighing just 48.5 grams, it’s impressively lightweight but doesn’t skimp on performance,boiling a litre of water in 3 minutes and 25 seconds.

Setting up the Hornet 2 may initially feel fiddly, as it utilises a unique sliding and locking mechanism. When you wish to set up the stove,  the pot stand slides down the stove’s shaft and must be twisted to lock in place before the pot supports can fully extend. While simple, it may take a few tries to get accustomed to. Once in place, however, the 122mm stand diameter provides solid stability for pots of varying sizes (64mm to 122mm), allowing you to prepare meals even on uneven surfaces safely.

Made from titanium, the Hornet 2 is as durable as it is compact, folding down small enough to slip into a pocket or cookware. Its high 2.5kW output makes it suitable for everything from simmering to quick boils, providing versatility without adding bulk to your pack.
