Interesting design | |
| Rating: |  |
| Among the fastest boil time of any stove. Windscreen design is genius, pot cleans easy, extra bowl and plate. Very well designed with a few exceptions,....the handle will collapse with a full pot, even after taking care to make sure the wire handle is engaged well in the slots, use both hands or a pot lifter instead of the wire handle. Also the ignitor electrode can hang up on the burner while clicking the burner into place, just watch for it. Also it appears if you keep a small canister in the pot (it does fit) it may rest on the electrode and bend it. It is easier to light if you remove the windscreen, not a problem. All stoves should have heat exchanger pots, and integrated windscreens like this. Even though mine weighs 25 ounces, look at what you get, and factor in the fuel weight. I love my Jet Boil too, but this beat it in every boil test I did. Big thumbs up, and I own over twenty stoves ranging from vintage to modern. | |

Love it! | |

| I second everything that JC said except for the collapsing handle. The handle has a sliding lock on it. I found if you don't slide it all the way foward the handle can collapse, but once forward into the locked position it is quite sturdy. | |

| Difficult to see bowl in the dark so don't forget to remove it before heating water, etc. The lighter mostly doesn't work - Bring matches. | |

| I was excited when Primus introduced this as a lightweight version of their ETA cooking system. Now that I have one I'm not so sure. First off, this thing cooks well. The burner is quite powerful for its size, and with an integrated windscreen, boil times are very good even in extreme conditions. The set offers a bowl and plate to eat with, and spare room to pack a small fuel cylinder and their folding spork. Set is lightweight and packs into about the same size as the Titan mini cookset. With that said, Primus fell far short of my other expectations for a high end cooking set. The plate and bowl are both flimsy and are worth more as protective liners rather than to eat with, not to mention they are another thing you have to clean before packing away. You must use the bowl, otherwise the edge of windscreen will scratch the side of the pot during packing. The handle is made from too thin metal and may collapse when the pot is full even with the locking slide engaged. The handle also likes to snag on the carry pouch when sliding in and out. A small (not large) fuel cylinder will fit inside, but it is difficult to figure out how, and the precise spot for it (which is directly over the burner when angled) could potentially damage the piezo striker. This set works well for dayhikes when you have a little extra time to prepare a hot meal. However, the complicated packing and unpacking, flimsy parts, and potential for damage makes it less attractive than other competing systems such as Jetboil. | |
