Coleman FyreStorm® PCS backpacking stove - NEW for 2017

The FyreStorm has its own dedicated 1.3L hard anodised pot with a transparent lid complete with draining holes plus an integrated windshield and a burner that sits directly under the pot, but unlike the JetBoil and similar systems, the FyreStorm PCS has a remote gas-canister linked to the burner by a braided steel covered gas-line rather than one that screws directly onto the burner and sits directly under the pot. This should make it a more stable base as the Burner sits on a large tripod rather than being restricted to the diameter of the Gas Cartridge you are using, although jet Boils and similar stoves usually include a small plastic base you can clip on the bottom of the Gas Canister. But this can get lost and damaged. A separate tripod also allows the FyreStorm PCS to sit lower than traditional PSC-type stoves making it more stable and less fiddly to adjust. The Gas Valve on top of the gas cartridges also makes it easier to adjust the flame and there is also a piezo electric igniter nicely positioned along the braided gas hose, both features help keep your hands away from a potentially hot stove

The  FyreStorm PCS uses a specially designed burner marketed as HyperFlame® and a pre-heater tube that runs through the flame to vaporise fuel more efficiently in cold conditions so the FyreStorm PCS does not need a pot-base heat-exchanger and the screw-together pot and heat-shield sit on the burner rather than being attached to it. This allows standard pots and pans to be used with the FyreStorm PCS, offering more flexibility as a cooking stove.

The FyreStorm PCS uses standard screw fix gas canisters, which a readily available to different makes (Coleman C100, C250 & C500), and they have also introduced Xtreme and Performance Gas cartridges to give better cold weather performance.
