Primus EtaPower EF Trail Stove - 2008 BCS

I've had this stove for about a year and used it on about 4 backpacking trips. It does boil water quickly and the electric spark is a nice feature. I also like the built in wind guard. I didn't notice this til packing up on my last trip but the pot will hold a can of fuel when in your pack. The included case is nice, but on my next trip I'm going to see if I can use a rubber band or something to hold everything together and save a little weight. Picked mine up on SAC for under $60

Not really, but it sure sounds like it when you turn it on. This thing is amazing, it boils water in no time at all. It is pretty light (but I'm no ultralight backpacker) and the included bag for the whole thing makes for easy storage and organization. The fuel for it is relatively cheap and also easy to carry, and the potholders and the included pot are also well designed and work well. I like this stove a lot better than the MSR Wisperlite that I used for a month on a trip. Definitely recommend this Primus stove.

This lightweight stove is perfect for backpacking trips, it boils very quickly with regular fuel even above 11.000 ft. And you can fit a gas canister as well as some utensils in the bag that comes with it.

A fantastic product with quality workmanship and solid designed. I like using the canisters over the fuel bottles, so it was an easy choice. Everything fits nicely into the nylon bag.

This thing BOILS...just took it winter camping for the first time and even with just standard fuel (i had to keep holding the canister to keep it warm enough to run) it boiled my 2L of H2o pretty darn quick....much faster than my buddy who had a msr something something...primus did a great job!

This is not the correct picture for the eta power ef trail stove go to www.primus.se and see the correct version , it has a 1,7l pot (not 2.1 L) , it has a simple lid ( not a pan ) and it does not have the hard carrying case that keeps food warm a bit instead it has a simple bag , Nonetheless it is lighter and it is has the same amazing features the Eta power version , i tested both versions in frigid winter temperatures and in summer warmth and it works amazing , fast boil times low fuel comsumption .

I just went on a backpacking trip to the summit of San Gorgonio Mountain in Southern California. We camped at 9,200ft elevation and this stove cooked dinner breakfast and about a zillion cups of tea for 8 people on ONE 8 oz can of gas! This stove is unbelievable efficient!Weighing in at just 1 pound, it’s worth getting whether you are a party of 8 or on a solo trip. It boils 1 liter of water in 45 seconds at 9,200 altitude.Pros: Light weight, Very Efficient, comes with everything you need (pot, pan, electric starter, etc.)Cons: Just wish there was an easy way to take the lid off once the water is boiling. (I wound up using a handkerchief).Boil away folks... and enjoy

Clean and efficient design with everything you need - stove, pot, handle, lid/plate, lighter, windscreen - all in a convenient case. The piezo lighter keeps you from singing your fingertips or eating crunchy pasta when you forget a lighter. Wide and stable base with built in windscreen is much easier than the MSR rolls of foil. My only complaint is the zipper on the case can be a bit fiddly.

My girlfriend got this for me about a year ago and it has been amazing. Used it everywhere from backpacking the Olympic Peninsula to Climbing Mt. Rainer and had no problems whatsoever. Does everything from boiling water faster then anything I have ever used to simmering stew. Definitely prefer this to any of the jetboil systems.

This stove performed great. Loved the case it came with. Not the lightest out there but if weight isn't an issue, this is a great stove. Boiled water extremely fast and the case made it easy to keep everything together.

Picked this up on the cheap. Great for group trips. it is light, versatile, and of course efficient. Before getting this I mainly used MSR whisperlight international. This stove is much easier and safer to light than that. no crazy fireballs just click that little spark thing and you are cooking.
