Firebox hard anodized aluminum pan with handle/lifter: www.fireboxstove.com/Pots-Fry...
Both pans are virtually identical in dimensions and weight.
SPECIFICATIONS
Interior top width of both pans: 10" (25.4 cm)
Interior bottom width of both pans: 8-1/2" (21.6 cm)
Exterior height of both pans: 2-1/8" (5.4 cm)
Firebox pan weight with handle: 15.2 oz (499 g)
Pinnacle pan weight with handle: 18 oz (510 g)
The most noticeable differences are the cooking surface and the handles. The Firebox pan doesn't have a coating and comes unseasoned. We seasoned it with canola oil following the included instructions. The Pinnacle pan has a Teflon Radiance non-stick surface. Firebox sells a handle as an accessory that can be used with their pan. The handle on the Pinnacle pan is both foldable and removeable.
The hard anodized aluminum pans are attractive to use because they are light weight when compared to carbon steel or cast iron pans. Although they are lighter, they are relatively thick and provide even heat. For long-term use, the Firebox pan edges out the Pinnacle because it can be seasoned again and again. Once the Teflon Radiance coating of the Pinnacle pan starts coming off, we'll throw it away.

This is interesting, and thank you for doing the comparison. Glad to know so much info from ALL your great videos in advance of a purchase!

Great video again Guys! Both pans look super good and the light weight makes them great for a go bag. Thanks and keep up the great work!

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m basically living at a base camp and I’ve been using a simple medium size pan. I needed something a bit more suited for this kind of life and I think this video will help. Thank you

I have the Firebox pan and i seasoned my pans at least 10 times before i even took it out and now it has a very dark brown, almost black color. The seasoning is very shiny and feels and cooks just like a teflonpan.

Great review, thanks for sharing.

Good looking Cur you have there! I have a female coming up on 10 years and she's been my best friend since day 1. Thanks for the comparison video. I just ordered my Firebox pan and had to see them in action while I wait. Hope you are all well!

Another good and thoughtful review. It will be interesting to see how the Firebox does once it’s well seasoned.

Nice video, i especially liked the side by side comparison of both pans during the cooking part. 4 months or so down the line now, have your opinions changed regarding the pans at all since further use?

@troyjenkins3886 2 года назад

I have the GSI pan and its held up great but love my cast iron.It's hard to beat a well seasoned Lodge pan for camp cooking but so heavy.The Firebox seems to be a nice compromise.Thanks for sharing.

I’ve seasoned and used my FB pan a bunch. It’s almost black with seasoning and smooth. And it’s still not nearly as nonstick as the pinnacle. More clean up time. Boil water in it, which uses fuel, and either paper towels which is wasteful or a cotton rag which is now dirty. Pinnacle, soap water done. There is a difference.

I have just thrown away my new firebox pan. I was not able to get a clean non sticking surface with seasoning. Bought a Pinnacle instead. Should it fail after years of use, I buy another one. Instead of investing more time and energy for the useless firebox pan seasoning.

It’s an interesting conclusion. I’m a bit surprised that you used twice the butter and had 4-5 times the sticking for the bacon and the eggs and still found it better. Perhaps a more comprehensive test such as cooking the same meal in each for a whole year will bear out whether the GSI coating will wear out and the regular seasoning on the fire box will actually make the pan non stick. I’m not convinced as my GSI is 8 years old and looks like new….and never sticks. Please follow up in time and give us an update!!

I don’t think is a fair comparison, they are so different, I have both. In the case of hard anodized I’ve found it not so easy to make it nonstick and I used to have Caphalon at home for years, could never get it to be as nonstick as cast iron or carbon steel thus I got rid of it. Honestly if you don’t want the weight of cast iron and don’t want the nonstick coating I’d go with carbon steel which is easier to season than hard anodized and almost as light weight. To season carbon steel you can do what’s called fast seasoning on the stove top, boil water and vinegar, let it sit after boiling for a few minutes, drop the contents, don’t wash, heat pan with oil,wipe excess oil, let it barely smoke, turn off and your carbon steel pan is now as nonstick as cast iron, that easy. I’ve never been successful at seasoning hard anodized to become a true nonstick. That being said I also love my Pinnacle GSI.
