Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
Great stove that works every time. Awesome temp control. It may not be the smallest or lightest on the market but reliability is more important to me.

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
I've taken this stove on a few summer campings. It performs excellently and have never failed. I've used it as a main stove for a group of 7-8 people. One can of 8oz MSR fuel bottle lasted 3 days. Boiled water extremely fast. Made scramble eggs perfectly. I've not yet used it in the winter to see how it would adjust to the cold temperature.

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
This is the second Classic Trail from REI. The first i bought instore. When i placed my pot on the first stove i noticed the pot didnt rest on all four pot stands equally. This resulted in a moderatly unstable pot. No big deal i thought so i got a refund and ordered another classic trail online. When i got the new classic trail it was more unstable than the first. The main reason i bought this stove was for pot stability. It looks like the potstands were assembled and spot welded wrong. Theres nearly a 1/8 inch gap between the pot leg and the bottom of the pot. How hard is it to turn the potstand upside down and tack weld it on a level surface ?

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
Totally in love with this stove. I live in Alaska and get out every weekend at least. This stove has a permanent place in my pack. Even on dayhikes. S'mores on top of the mountain and hot chocolate to drink while you set up camp when it's cold. The canisters were cheap and easily packed too. Worth every penny and much more.

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
I have had this stove for 12+ years. I actually purchased it because our camp did not have a stove and the once a month we used this camp this stove was great. We cooked everything from pancakes to boiling 6 lobsters. It became a "Wow" with all the guests. I first thought it was too heavy for backpacking but because it works so well, stable, and easy to adjust, I started bringing on backpacking trips in The Whites(even winter camping) and have never regretted it. I later purchased a Snowpeak Ti cookset and the stove fits inside perfectly. So for me it is compact as well and maybe some would consider it a few ounces too heavy but at 1lb for stove, pan, pot, spork, bowl, spices I feel it is perfect.

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
Bought this stove on clearance for [$] thought the price was great but there were no canisters in the store to be had. Went to EMS and they did not have the canisters either. I have read in many reviews that the stove will accept other canisters but I was not comfortable with this. This stove was to replace my Campingaz which I can no longer get fuel for. I was afraid I was running into the same problem. Every store I went to has MSR canisters and for that reason I returned the Primus and got the MSR Pocket Rocket. There must be a reason why this stove was on clearance I did not want to wind up with another obsolite stove. Checking on Fuel prices for the primus seemed to be more expensive than the MSR. This reveiw was purley on availability of fuel and not on performace.

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
This stove, despite its size and its output, worked great in slightly windy conditions with occasional gusts. The gusts would "burp" it a bit on one side, but it generally stayed strong for 2 cups of water in under 2 minutes on medium to medium high heat with an MSI canister. The one thing is that opening it way up seems not to work as well and generates quite a jet sound. Turn it above that , its seems to blow itself out. Other than that, this stove is great, with its mesh pack as well (I can see the mesh pack eventually breaking down due to the sharp edges of the stove). It also cools down relatively quick, after a 2 to 3 minute use.

Comments about Primus Yellowstone Classic Trail Stove:
This stove is great, have used it just a handful of times, but has fit the bill every time. It is a really a affordable and lightweight option! We combined it with the GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Dualist Cook System, for a super cheap and simple system.
