Comments about Primus Multifuel EX Stove with Windscreen - '08 Closeout:

I used butane stoves for years and then bought Primus' Gravity model when the cost of constantly buying gas got to be annoying. I returned the Gravity after the first trip. The flame was very inconsistent and simmering was out of the question. This model is a GEAT improvement in terms of temperature control. Still not as good as the butane stoves but very very close.The best feature of this model is the fuel cost. I used to pay more for one trip than I pay now for an entire season! I am still on my first $5 white gas canister after a more than a season of camping at least once a month during the season. I have almost recovered the extra cost for the unit already and expect it to last for the rest of my life.The unit is somewhat bulky but not excessively so. It is also much more noisy than the butane stoves I've seen. Lighting it requires some practice and learning but is not hard at all. Primus has a video on their website that'll teach you what you need to know in a couple of minutes. You may want to look at it before you buy to make sure you're willing to spend 20-30 seconds to light this stove.If you camp and cook a lot this is the stove for you. If you're willing to spend about $200 and need fine simmering control, there are better models out there. If you camp only a couple of times a year in warm weather and have access to butane gas, investing in this stove is not worth it.
