Mountains Plus Outdoor Gear

The EtaPackLite™ is a stove that has really earned its name.  The PackLite is small and collapsible, and still has all the luxuries of a base camp stove stove - such as piezo ignitor, windscreen, a 1.2 liter pot and a lid which can also serve as a colander with its bayonet fastening. All the components can be packed conveniently into the pot, leaving room for a 100 gram LP gas cartridge and even a Primus spork. Primus’ fuel-efficient burner and the EtaPower pot cut down on weight in your pack by cutting down on fuel. To protect the non-stick coating, a graded bowl made of hygienic, environmentally friendly polypropylene is included. The bowl also makes an excellent serving bowl.

GREAT stove!

Rating:*****

This is my second Eta type stove from Primus and both the EtaPower and, now, the EtaPackLite are excellent stoves! The EtaPackLite gives me a two-cup boil time of around 1 minute 20 seconds. This is more than twice as fast as my JetBoil. If you omit ALL the plastic bowls (that includes the liner bowl) that come with this unit the weight is, then, true at just shy of 21oz. I measured a usage of 4.1 grams of fuel per 2-cup boil. In comparison, my JetBoil used 4.32 grams of fuel for a 2-cup boil. On my last trip into the Gila Wilderness, I really impressed my friends with this stove; I ended up giving them a lead time of 20 minutes and I still ate before them while they dinked around with there upright MSR stove! Way to go Primus..... Now, how about a Titanium option?
