Comments about Primus Profile 2-Burner Stove with Piezo Ignition:

I have owned several Primus stoves before and always loved them. Recently I moved to the USA and purchased a Profile dual burner stove. I was very excited when I bought it, but I have been really disappointed with the product. The igniter is highly unreliable and the steel cooking rack has buckled significantly reducing the stability of the pots.

The design of this stove has serious room for improvement. Primus has such a great reputation and this is a real disappointment. I would never recommend that someone else buy this stove.

Comments about Primus Profile 2-Burner Stove with Piezo Ignition:

I've used many 2 burner stoves throughout the past few years and it was time for me to get my own. I've been living and traveling out of my car so it was time to ditch the backpacking stove for my main cooking. The Colemans are just fine but I do not like the shape and styling of the newer ones. I had purchased the Camp Chef Teton (the equivalent of the Primus Profile 2-burner) and sent it back because of horrible build quality and bad performance with one of the burners. This review will be somewhat of a comparison between the Primus and the Camp Chef.

I saw the Primus Profile at REI and loved the fit/finish/quality of it. The colors are nice and the stove has a really nice texture on it. The knobs have a rubber coating and the twisting starter button is a very nice touch. The Camp Chef I had previously had dents, scratches, nothing lined up, really bad hinges on the windscreens, a screw free floating around the inside of the stove, etc. The Primus Profile is the exact opposite of this and although they look similar online– in person there is a night and day difference between the quality. The Camp Chef is simply a cheap knockoff.

Onto the performance of the stove. I really don't care about max btu's, rather I want a stove that has good temp. modulation and the ability to give a really consistent low flame output. The Camp Chef would burp and make loud sucking noise when I had the flame really low. On top of that I would have to hold the knob because if I let it go it would creep up to medium heat automatically. The Primus Profile can go lower in flame output and it will stay consistent and quiet.

The other bonuses... I really like the grill design as most 2-burners have too much of an open gap over the burner which means that smaller pots/pans will actually "fall-in" and slide off balance causing some of the contents to dump out onto the stove. I'm pretty sure primus updated the grill on this one to include the circular rings in the middle now. I don't think it will buckle as another early reviewer mentioned. Just to be sure I even took the grill out of the display model and stood on it in the store and nothing happened. It's strong.

The flexible attachment cord for the propane is a very nice touch as well. I find that usually I have to adjust the stove around a few inches while cooking and it's much easier with this type of attachment and less annoying to have to move compared to the straight brass attachments. Connecting is easier as well, and it's easier to find a spot for the stove because you can place the propane bottle behind the stove. With other stoves the straight brass attachment forces you to make space for about another foot off to the side.

It seems like many reviewer's docked a lot of stars for the piezo starter. I haven't had any problems with it but honestly I've never been able to rely on the starter of any stove, backpacking or not, cheap or expensive (jetboil, msr, coleman, etc). Always have a lighter handy.

For the money this is the best 2-burner out there. I'd say it's personal preference between this and the Coleman and anything else is not up to par. I'm using the Profile daily and will continue to do so for a very long time.

Comments about Primus Profile 2-Burner Stove with Piezo Ignition:

The reason I chose this stove over the Coleman or Century was because of the piezo starter. I like the way the knob is turned instead of pushed. The push button stoves would require two hands to start while the stove is on my Coleman stove stand. This one twists to create a spark. The only problem is that it doesn't always spark. I had to use a lighter a few times to start the right burner. The stainless steel tray is easy to clean. The stove has plenty of power (and room) to heat my cast iron pans or coffee pot. It worked well on a four day trip where the morning temps were in the upper 30s and a week long trip to Black Rock City )'(. I would give it 4 stars if the ignitor was more reliable, I would give it 5 stars if it came with a chef.

P.S. I like the color.

Comments about Primus Profile 2-Burner Stove with Piezo Ignition:

This stove has been great. The temperature control is fantastic. I can boil water quickly on high or turn the temperature to low when I need to simmer something. Clean up is a breeze too, since you can remove the cooking rack. I haven't noticed where the rack has warped at all, at least, not enough to make my pots unstable. The handle underneath makes carrying the stove easy and doesn't require purchasing a carrying case like the coleman stoves do. The lighter works great. It's a twist model so you don't have to worry about pushing a button and inadvertently pushing the stove back. It starts pretty consistenly too, usually on the first turn of the igniter. I've been very happy with this stove and look forward to many more camping trips with it.

Comments about Primus Profile 2-Burner Stove with Piezo Ignition:

For the price, I bought this on the labor Day sale (prior to Hurricane Irene). The stove is well made; perfect for car camping. I like the wayis put together, set up was easy, and it cleans easily. I really like that the tube for the propane is flexible and long.
Like I said, I bought this before the hurricane. Lost power on Sunday; starting using the stove for Sunday breakfast. Worked great. Very efficient use of fuel. One can lasted through 4 or 5 solid meals (using both burners).
The bad, by dinner Monday the piezo striker no longer works on the right burner. The unit is heavy, but you do not buy this stove to hike with it.
For the sale price, I would buy it again.

Comments about Primus Profile 2-Burner Stove with Piezo Ignition:

First, my complaint. From day one the left burner lit with ignition, the other did not. Otherwise: the grate for pans substantial and stable, flame is close to pan, so faster heating and less loss of heat, liked having a hose connector for propane tank, cut out handle for carrying, completely lined under burners so easy to clean. Heavy yes, but I saw that as plus since it is so stable. if lighter had worked would have given it 5 stars.
