Not what I expected

By Aging Archie from West Texas Desert on 08/04/2010

Pros:
Lightweight, Powerful
Cons:
Poor temperature control

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The DVD included with stove was not for this particular stove...why bother? Flame control is non existent...its either full blast or off with any type of fuel. I only use my stove to boil water, so flame control isn't important, but if you actually cook meals you'll probably want to look for another stove. I do appreciate the compactness of the stove...easy to pack, lightweight( compared to my 20 year old stove ).

Took this stove backpacking with me for 3 days in the Beartooth Mnt Range at alt up to 9000 ft. Worked just fine for me using butane. It sure beat the Jet boil Helios guide system I have. I'd highly recommend this stove.

This stove work pretty well

I use white gas along with this amazing stove, it works pretty well. The down is a little bit dirty after use. overall this stove is good for backpacking. Since it is so light, also the gas bottle "1L" will not put much weight to your backpack.

We used our old wisperlite for our 3 month cycling tour through Europe, where we mainly camped. That one worked great, but at times, had trouble getting fuel, many times we could only get the canisters, which we could not use with our old stove, so this one should be fantastic! We have not camped with this one yet, but have tried it out at home several times using different fuel. great so far.

Good but not perfect stove

By DonN from Long Beach, MS on 10/05/2009

Pros:
Easy to Light, Powerful, Stable
Cons:
Difficult to Clean

The major issue with this stove is that it must be completely disassembled to either clean or change the jet. The provided tool's screwdeiver is too small to do this job properly. The Primus ETA Power pot must be positioned exactly on this stove to prevent tipping. There is no priming cup, so excess priming fuel drips on the ground, table, etc. With the #40 jet (#32, #40 & #45 provided) it does a good job with both LP and white gas.
