Primus | Classic Trail Backpacking Stove Silver, One Size

It is 100% pure quality construction, great workmanship- and puts out the heat. Probably the best one on the market- I have several of other variety-with no doubt, this is the better of them all.

The media could not be loaded. First time using this stove works just like it should I’m happy with it. A fantastic product like this deserves bacon and eggs for its first time use. My opinion 😁

If you hate those little US-quarter-sized burners with the flip-out supports, this is the next level up in heat and stability. It's a great setup, and so far several people have seen mine and gone out to buy their own. Works on butane and propane, at least for me.Where it could use some improvement is the valve. It's super difficult to control at the low end. In fact, I'd guess maybe 5% of the range of the valve covers all the variability you'll need. You can sneeze on the flame and it won't go out, but don't sneeze on the valve knob or it might. Still, this is what I carry, not the alternatives.Recommend pairing with one of those piezo starter things that doesn't have gas with it: all you need's the spark, and those guys are small enough to fit in the bag this comes with.

I just got this stove in today. I immediately grabbed my camping cookware & tested it. I have a 20 ounce GSI Glacier Stainless Minimalist pot & brought it to a boil in 5 minutes or so (in 40 degree F ambient). I used an MSR 8 ounce propane cartridge for the fuel & seated it on a MSR Universal Canister Stand. This entire set up is extremely compact & light weight. It just plain works & will not take up half of your pack! I am a kayaker & used to bring a Coleman burner, tank, & stand with me. It is huge & heavy (when trying to bring only the bare minimum). I'm absolutely stoked that I won't have to bring the Coleman with me on my next trip, which will likely be in a week or two. See the picture below. It gives you a good idea of the size of the Primus/MSR set-up & the size difference when compared to my Coleman. I included a roll of duct tape in the picture for reference. I also took & couple pictures of the burner with the GSI Minimalist & an MSR pan on it. Note that Primus says you have to use their cartridges for this burner. That is for liability purposes on their end. The MSR propane cartridge works just fine and is EXACTLY the same cartridge as the Primus one. When you put them side by side you can tell they came from the same factory.

This is one of the oldest upright canister stoves made and it's longevity is well earned. While not the lightest stove, it is well made and the larger size makes it stable with larger pans while still being able to support the smallests cups. The broad flame pattern heats the bottom of a pan evenly and the valve regulates well for simmering and cooking.This is a large stove when compared to a lot of what's available and far from the lightest. I would advise using larger fuel cans to make the stove less top heavy.

This is my second Primus stove that I bought. I wore out my first because I've had it for so long. It works great and it's easy to use; what more could a fellow want?

What I like most about the stove is the heat output and the ability to use a little bit larger pots and skillets.

Bought this stove to reduce the weight in my pack from my old Coleman. Just got back from hiking RMNP and this stove worked great. Added bonus which I'm sure Primus doesn't want you to know but it works with all canister type fuels. When I got to Estes and went to the outfitter to get fuel they did not have the Primus in the large canister so I bought the Jet Boil brand and had no issues. By the way the small canister will only get you 2-3 meals tops. With the large canister I made two dinners (10-15 minute burn each) and two breakfast (5-10 minute burn each) and it felt like there was enough for maybe one more breakfast. The small canister boiled a pot of water three times and that was it. All said this stove is a very good buy especially from Amazon. Store prices are at least 50% more. It has a large burner for a good solid support even for a 3-4 QT pot. Burner and valve come apart so it stores well in very small places like with in your pots. Highly recommended from a professional chef. :)
