Having given up on the BRS-3000T because of its many issues, some of which I experienced myself like leaking connection to the canister and the Ti potstands deforming under minimal load, I ordered a Fire Maple Wasp FMS-300T from Next Adventure for $20. It just arrived. As far as I can tell it is the same as the Hornet (though I don’t have one to compare side-by-side). 45 gm, pictures look identical, etc. Does anyone know if there is any difference, other than the name?

Just noticed this. Apparently they are the same. I wonder which name came first?

I know it as a “Wasp” perhaps the term is interchangeable in China?

Juyst curious, what is the exact distance from the tip of one arm to the tip of another arm?  My Pocket Rocket 2 is 4.063″ and my BRS 300T is 2.75″.  Thanks

Looks like 2.95″ (I don’t have calipers or a micrometer, just a ruler)

I have a FMS Hornet. With my Jetboil pot riser disk, the stove-to-pot distance for the Hornet is about 1/4″ greater than the BRS-3000T stove. This isn’t optimal, but it will still work.

Sorry I didn’t understand the same thing comment, I assumed it had to do with your first comment that people didn’t understand about a link and you didn’t respond to and because people had already pointed out that the wasp and hornet were the same stoves.

Isn’t this actually better for reducing the flame quenching effect that increases CO production?

ABSOLUTELY YES
