Not that I would expect from Primus

by Artem, Verified Owner from Lviv, Ukraine Written on July 9, 2021
The first and the most painful issue for me is that you couldn't use it with a reverted gas canister (I need this for cold weather conditions). A stove burns unstable and spit fire, you really can't use it. But I fixed it by changing the metal cable inside the tube to a bigger diameter. After that stove works stable, I was happy but not for a long time.
The next issue is wind. When you run out of gas and pressure decreases the slightest blow of the wind extinguishes the fire. This happens due to the shape of the burner. You can fix it only by using the wind shield.
I see no difference between this stove and that is screwed on top of the canister. This one is bulkier, heavier and less convenient to use.
I have no point to use it.
Now I am switched to 'kovea spider' and totally happy.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • can't use with inverted gas canister
  • poor windproof
Would recommend: No

Very compact and light stove

by Fung, Verified Owner from New Territories, Hong Kong Written on November 29, 2020
This stove is very compact and light, but also very stable. The feet is thin but locks into place very nicely. Has a preheat tube so i think its performance in extreme condition should be good. The flame is stable and fairly strong
Pros:
  • Lightweight
  • compact
Cons:
  • may need a windscreen
Best Used for:
  • Backpacking
Would recommend: Yes
