Primus EtaPower MF Stove
The Primus EtaPower MF Stove gives you high fuel efficiency and complete versatility on the trail by allowing you to use either canister or liquid fuel, depending on what is available. The EtaPower MF features a wind-blocking burner base, a 2.1L pot with heat exchanger, a lightweight frying pan, a liquid fuel bottle, and a storage sack that doubles as a pot insulator. For colder conditions, or travel to places without access to canisters, a variety of liquid fuels can power the EtaPower MF, including gasoline, kerosene, white gas, and even diesel.
Bottom Line: High fuel efficiency meets total fuel versatility.

Will this stove run on the standard 16.4 oz disposable propane
Will this stove run on the standard 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinders? The connection is wrong, but is there an adapter?

This stove will run on most fuel types but not the 16.4oz disposal propane cylinders & there is no such adapter to date.

I bought this stove in order to cook for a small group, but I'm finding it to be a solid choice for my solo outings as well. It is bulky when stored in its cozy (which is amazing unto itself), although you can easily nest, not only the components of the stove, but a set of MSR folding utensils, your spork,a couple pack towells, and, best of all, an 8oz MSR isofuel canister. When fully loaded, the total weight I'm getting is 3lbs 8oz. Easily a push when you consider the combined weights of all the food prep items you need, but with better consolidation in one neat package. I'm a huge fan of Primus products, but was a bit skeptical at first, as this struck me a sort of a gimmicky product made primarily for novices that did most of their cooking on a picnic table. I couldn't have been more wrong. The built-in windscreen is actually lighter than a separate setup,and works really well. The flame is highly adjustable from high-to simmer. The boil time for 2 liters using isofuel is ajust under 4 minutes at 9000ft. It uses next to no fuel and it really does work equally well with a wide range of sources with no clogging or sooting to speak of. Another neat thing about it is that the size of the unit when packed is the same diameter as a bear canister, which makes it a great prop for keeping the canister at the top of your pack and easily accessable. I would recommend this stove to anyone, regardless of whether they're looking for a proper cooking system, or think they could do better with individual components. It just plain works!

How is this different than the Gravity MF? It looks to be about the same, except with an extra windscreen and pot adapter.. if thats the case, could a person just get the extra accessories for this? Because I have the Gravity MF already, and love it, but the 2.1 L pot doesnt sit on it very well (I have to make sure that it gets on there just right, otherwise it wants to fall off).

Now i know that it says it is capable of working with all of the different types of fuels. But what order would you rank them in, as far as cleanliness/better for the stove? Because i'm getting the liquid fuel bottles and just want to know which type is best for it. Thanks

White gas, kerosene, and canister fuel all run totally clean, equally so. Then gasoline and then diesel.-----------I don't know if I entirely agree with this. Canister fuel is the cleanest because it has no impurities. White Gas is next, it being the most refined of all the petroleum based fuels (MSR SuperFuel is the cleanest of white gas fuels, next is Crown Fuel, and third is Coleman fuel). Kerosene is a horrible fuel to work with because it's hard to prime, is sticky and hard to clean off your hands, and it smells. I would avoid it if possible. The benefit of having a stove that works with kerosene is that it's readily available in Third World countries. Gasoline and diesel are not very good for most stoves. I would recommend diesel over gasoline because it usually doesn't contain additives and/or ethanol like gas does. Unleaded gasoline is the worst fuel you can use in any liquid fuel/multi-fuel stove.
