Primus Lite Plus



[UPDATE] This tiny stove has been serving us well for some time now; basically the only gripe I have is the fact that it is really easy to burn off the lower part of the handle strip, since it readily folds down very close to the burner. See the close-up hereA word of caution to the new owner would definitely have been great and an easy way to stop this from happening [UPDATE]

Fixing food outdoors can be tons of fun but sometimes you just want to get it over with - fast. The best camping stove I've ever had is the tiny PrimusLitePlus; it's lightning fast for bringing water to a boil but the really Cool(?!) thing is that it also works just fine for actually cooking or warming up food since the flame is highly adjustable (beats JetBoil I've heard!).

Several smart solutions make this rocket stove even better - for example, there are three 'screws' tucked away in the handle (strangely, not visible in the pic from Primus shop) that make it possible to use a frying pan on top of the stove (do not try it without the screws in place) Very nice! Just make sure you don't lose those screws.. A drop of medium strength Loctite might be a very good idea.

The whole package is, of course, extremely compact - including the gas that you pack within the stove itself - and this thing functions amazingly well even when there's a bit of a breeze.

Very cool - indeed, you don't burn your fingers when grabbing the mug even though the stuff inside gets very hot! - and highly recommended. Check it out on the manufacturer's site.
