Steps
Unfold the stove legs and set it on flat, level ground away from tents and dry grass. Screw the canister onto the stove with the canister sitting upright.
Check the flame control valve is closed, then open it slightly and light the burner. Let the stove burn with the canister upright for at least 3 minutes to preheat the tube.
Keep the flame low and slowly turn the canister upside down. Do not tip it quickly or the liquid fuel can flood the burner.
Rest the inverted canister in a canister stand or on a stable support so it stays upside down and does not pull on the hose.
Adjust the valve to the flame you want. In inverted mode the stove is rated up to 3.3kW, compared with 2.8kW upright.
Set your pot on the burner arms. The stove supports cookware up to 3.5kg and fits the base slots on Petrel G2, G3 and Ramen pots.
When you finish cooking, turn the canister back upright before closing the valve, then let the stove cool fully before packing it away.
Tips and common mistakes
Never light the stove with the canister already upside down. Always start upright and preheat first.
Cold-weather performance still depends on the gas blend and canister temperature, so keep the canister warm inside your jacket before use.
Use a canister stand so the inverted canister cannot tip and spill liquid fuel.
Keep pots wider than the burner arms balanced and centred, since a remote stove sits lower but still tips if overloaded.
Questions
Can I light the stove with the canister upside down?
No. Fire Maple says to light it upright first and preheat for at least 3 minutes, then slowly invert the canister.
Why invert the canister at all?
Liquid fuel feeds toward the burner and vaporises in the heated preheat tube, which can keep performance steadier in cold conditions.
Which pots fit the Petrel Summit?
It is designed for the base slots on Fire Maple Petrel G2, G3 and Ramen pots, and it holds cookware up to 3.5kg.
