Primus Gravity Multi-Fuel Stove with Windscreen

I've been backpacking with my old Coleman Peak-1 white gas stove for years and finally bought a new stove to carry. This stove offers the option of liquid fuel or LP canisters and saves me on weight. I'm heading out to the AT next weekend for a week section hike and will give it a go but expect it to do a great job. I've hooked up a canister to it to check it out and it seems to work great. I'll take canisters with me on this trip. Seems like a great stove at an unbeatable price. Thanks STP.

This stove was great value for money. The fact that I can adapt to different fuels is a bonus and gives me the flexibility I need.

#1 love it, burns it all, burns hot and is decently lightweight. #2 Slight "con" must disassemble to clean/change jets, but that is only minor gripe. Might as well pull it all apart and clean the whole thing when changing jets. #3 NOTE: LP jet is easily clogged if you, say, dump several ounces of chili on it(oops!)and then do not disassemble to thoroughly clean, just a quick wipe/rinse. PULL IT APART AND CLEAN. 4# Pay attn. to whether the stove is burning well. It will light/burn with a chili-clogged jet but won't boil, etc. Wasting a lot of canister fuel on the trail is the result. Ah yes, feeling dumb and hungry.

this is the first stove i've owned that uses liquid or canister fuel and i love it.

It was easy on the way

Best for the money, does exactly what I want - it cooks and heats water. It takes little room and can use just about anything for fuel. Can't ask for anything more.

Great stove, burns evenly. Make sure you use the right jet. .45 is in by default but if you use coleman gas or crown must switch to .40. Simmers great and boils water fast. I have used Whisperlite and this is as good. Pump is made of metal instead of plastic as MSR pumps tends to crack! Only bad thing is hard to clean and must undo stove to change out jet. Have not used in sub-zero temps or high altitude yet so do not know how it might function. If going to extremes suggest getting the Omnifuel.

On the positive side this stove burns everything I tried and is easy to setup, operate and clean. Windscreen helps! On the negative, the flame is uneven: no flame on the side of the jet and excessive yellow soot-producing flame on the opposite side. Impossible to simmer. Will work fine if you're just boiling water or cooking soups and don't mind a bit of soot. Economical after the initial investment. Easy to clean.
