Primus OmniFuel Stove - 2006
Whether you're cooking pancakes at 17000ft in winter or making coffee on the beach in July, the Primus Omni-fuell Stove gets the job done. With its easy-to-use Ergo Pump, this durable stove is designed to handle extreme conditions, altitudes, and temperatures. On the road, you'll appreciate the Omni-fuel Stove's ability to fire up with nearly any type of fuel—LP gas, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and even aviation fuel. Primus made this stove for world traveling backpackers and climbers who know they'll eventually find themselves in strange lands, in high places, and in very cold backcountry kitchens. FUEL BOTTLE SOLD SEPARATELY
Bottom Line: No matter how cold, how high, or how foreign, the Primus Omni-fuel Stove will fire right up.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
I've had this stove for a couple years, but on a recent trip
I've had this stove for a couple years, but on a recent trip had a fuel spill and burned up the connection between the hose and the stove connection point. I didn't think it would be a big deal to get a new hose, it looks like an easy part to replace, but I have not been able to find one and Primus has not returned any of my emails or phone calls. Any suggestions, or do i have to buy a new stove just to replace that one part?

Sorry to hear about your stove. A & H Enterprises sells a full line of Primus replacement parts along with Optimus & others. Give then a call & explain your situation. I'm sure they will be able to help.

Great Purchase
By: Seamus Allan
October 26, 2009
Bought this after spending a long time checking the options (namely MSR equivalents). Turns out it was a very good choice; In the year or so I have been using the stove I have had nothing but praise for it.
Travelling through South East Asia where fuel choice was limited I was able to use unleaded petrol, fairly heavy lamp oil, kerosene and diesel. The burner is hot, quick to prime, I have never had any flare-up troubles and can be run low enough to cook porridge which is notorious for burning to the bottom of the pan.
If you're looking for a versatile easy to use stove then this is it.
Great Winter Stove

Use a flat rock for cooking on snow, not a "Lite Seat!" The "Primus OmniFuel" is very hot & much quieter than other plate burner stoves.
Is this stove compatible with compressed gas canisters, as well
Is this stove compatible with compressed gas canisters, as well as the fuel bottle?Is it a better choice to purchase the predecessor (MFS)?I am try ing to decide which one is a better all-around stove.Thank you- Phil, your friend

Yes, this stove runs on nearly any fuel imaginable, including isobutane. As for which is a better choice, they will both boil water, just decide which one has the extra features you want (i.e., ability to run on virtually any fuel, built-in cleaning needle for fuel line, etc.)

Clean, Hot, & Dependable
By: Jeff Gerhard

This is one of the newer generations from a Swedish company who has been making stoves for over 125 years. It is quieter than other plate burners & also incorporates a cleaner, shorter pre-heating stage which creates less carbon build-up in the kerosene & white gas mode. This is due in part to it's smaller burner plate. The OmniFuel produces 10K BTU's & is great for expedition use as well as backpacking, car camping, etc. It is heavier than the Primus MultiFuel which is it's only drawback, but does work with Lindal valve canisters making it more fuel friendly. The three substantial legs & pot supports & given the fact it sits lower to the ground, makes this stove even more stable. I have used this stove on numerous occasions & it has never, ever failed making it highly dependable.
If you're considering a stove with multi-fuel capabilities, this is an excellent choice.
How well does the temperature/simmer control work?

The temperature/simmer control is very flexible. The bottle pressure regulator can be used in conjunction with the burner regulator for fine control although it can take a bit of experimenting to get the right balance, having said that the burner regulator itself has quite a range.The simmer control on this stove is actually better than most other liquid fuel stoves by using the fine adjustment.

Loud but good

I really like this stove. I've only used it with butane/propane so far but it has been great. At a recent campout there were several jokes that it sounds like a jet engine because it is so loud, but it is so effective that it didn't last long. It heats really well and seems to be fairly efficient. The base is wide and stable. It's easy to light. Weight is alright, maybe a bit on the heavy side but not a big deal.
Change me.
