There's a moment on every camping trip when you realise your cookware is either too heavy, too bulky, or simply not up to the job. The Fire Maple Antarcti Stainless Steel Camping Kettle and Pot Set is the answer to all three problems. A 1.0L kettle and 1.0L cooking pot that nest together, weigh just 700g, and are built from 304 stainless steel tough enough for open fire, bushcraft stove, or campfire. At £79.44, this is a serious piece of kit at a price that makes sense for any outdoor enthusiast.
What's in the Set?
- 🤘 304 stainless steel construction — high-grade, thick-walled steel for superior heat retention and years of reliable performance in the wild
- 🧳 Nesting 1.0L + 1.0L design — kettle fits inside the pot; total footprint just 165×165×118mm, total weight only 700g
- 🔥 Open fire compatible — built to handle direct heat from campfires, bushcraft stoves, and fireplaces without warping or degrading
- 🤜 Ergonomic folding handles — collapse flat to minimise pack footprint, deploy securely for safe handling over heat
- ☕ Dual purpose — boil water for coffee and tea in the kettle, cook soups, pasta, or veggies in the pot; two vessels, one compact package
Who Is This For? Real-Life Usage Situations
🌲 The Backpacker & Long-Distance Hiker
Every gram matters when you're carrying everything on your back for days at a time. At 700g for a complete two-vessel cook set, the Fire Maple Antarcti is one of the lightest stainless steel options available. The nesting design means it takes up minimal space in your pack, and the 304 steel means it'll outlast cheaper titanium alternatives that dent and warp. This is the cook set you take on the West Highland Way, the Pennine Way, or a multi-day wild camp.
🌿 The Bushcraft & Wild Camping Enthusiast
Open fire cooking is the soul of bushcraft — and not all cookware handles it well. The thick-walled 304 stainless steel is built specifically for direct flame, whether that's a wood fire, a Kelly Kettle, or a Trangia. Boil water for a morning brew in the kettle while your porridge heats in the pot. Proper camp cooking, properly equipped.
🏕️ The Weekend Festival & Car Camper
Not every camping trip involves a 20-mile hike. For festival camping, car camping, or a weekend at a site, the Fire Maple set gives you a compact, easy-to-clean cook solution that doesn't take up half your boot. The stainless steel wipes clean easily and doesn't retain flavours or odours like cheaper aluminium sets.
🎣 The Fishing & Waterside Day Tripper
A long day on the riverbank or loch shore is infinitely better with a hot meal and a proper brew. The Fire Maple set packs into a jacket pocket or small daypack, and the open fire compatibility means you can boil water over a small fire or portable stove wherever you're fishing. Hot coffee at dawn, hot soup at lunch — the simple things that make a day out perfect.
🌍 The Expedition & International Trekker
Fire Maple is a brand trusted by serious expedition trekkers worldwide — their gear is used on routes from Patagonia to the Himalayas. The Antarcti set's stainless steel construction handles altitude, extreme cold, and repeated use without degrading. If you're planning a serious international trek, this is the cookware that won't let you down at base camp.
Is It a Bargain?
Absolutely. Comparable stainless steel nesting camp cook sets from brands like MSR, Snow Peak, or Primus typically retail at £90–£160+ for similar quality, capacity, and open-fire compatibility. Fire Maple is a globally respected outdoor brand with a reputation for expedition-grade quality — and the Antarcti set comes in at £79.44, well below what MSR or Snow Peak charge for equivalent kit. You're getting a two-vessel, 700g, open-fire-ready stainless steel cook set from a brand trusted on expeditions worldwide, at a price that undercuts the premium competition by up to 50%. For any serious outdoor enthusiast, this is a straightforward decision.
