Reviewed by Samuel from Utah on Thursday, May 09, 2013Like other reviews the catch tabs on the stove have a hard time getting all the way on the pot so that it will hold it and once on it is hard to release. I like the value over the Optimus and so I still got this stove and put my handy skills to work and modified the bottom plate and the tabs and now it works flawlessly. Maybe the manufacturing errors are why it is on closeout but either way I am happy in the end. The feet also don't fit in the pot and I don't think a small fuel can will either like it does on the Optimus but like I said, Very worth the price in the end.

Reviewed by Ron from North Dakota on Friday, May 03, 2013I have used a friends Jetboil stove and thought this was a good comparable purchase. The device shown in the photo to hang the stove was not included so that was the first disappointment when I opened the stove. I figured, I could get along without it, and took the stove on a weekend backpacking trip. I was hoping that the stand, burner unit and small fuel canister could all be packed inside the unit, but there was no room for the stand to be placed inside.. I used a cut-off toilet paper roll to protect the piezo igniter so I could place the fuel canister inside the unit, but regardless, the igniter was broken when I needed to use it. This really needs better engineering to make this a trouble free system. With all that said, I did use the stove, lighting the flame with a lighter, and it boiled water in a speed comparable to the Jetboil. I would recommend spending the additional money and getting a Jetboil if you want this type of unit.

Reviewed by Bob14850 from Ithaca, NY on Wednesday, March 13, 2013People who wrote reviews saying the pot is hard to separate from the stove did not read the instructions: The heat reflector disc is only used with the pot-stands when using non standard-issue pots. It is not used with the .9L pot that comes with the kit. Misuse of the heat reflector jams the clip mechanism. Primus also makes a french press accessory for this kit, and it works great. No complaints. Be careful how you store the components of this kit, as the ignitor is vulnerable to trauma from other parts when stored inside the pot. I bought this stove for my son, and after using it I had to get one for myself.

Question “Where do you purchase the fuel cannisters and how does it attach to the heating system?|Do you heat the water with the insulated jacket on the container|Thanks,|Dave”
-
Answer The fuel canister attaches to the bottom of the burner ( screw attachment) and I believe you can buy the fuel canister pretty much anywhere.
-
Answer Get Primus triple fuel on-line e.g. at Cobra Tactical or use the small Jet Boil canister (3.5 oz) or Snow Peak Giga Power 3.5 oz canister both found at REI. Giga Power fits inside better - same diameter as Jet Boil but shorter.|I boil with the jacket on and haven't had a problem.
