Micron Ti Stove

The Ti in the Primus Micron Ti 2.5 Stove means titanium, and 2.5 is how many ounces of that precious metal Primus needs to make a stove. Two and a half ounces is light, folks — less than a bag of Skittles — but don't be deceived. The Micron Ti may be small but it packs an 8500 BTU whallop, and it's fully adjustable from a low simmer to a scorching high setting that will boil a liter of water in about four minutes. The arms unfold to form a surprisingly stable four-inch cooking surface. Not huge, but enough for most lightweight camping pot and pan sets, and let's face it: if you're considering this stove you're probably not toting a cast iron skillet into the woods. *Fuel canister not included.

Bottom Line: It's like a small camping stove, only…smaller.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Fantas(Ti)c Stove

It's just 2.5 ounces, fits inside your pot along with the fuel canister (I use the MSR iso fuel) and it boils as much water as you'll need to boil in 4 mins or less (let's face it if you're packing this stove your not boiling water for more than 2 persons at once). Worth every penny for the weight savings! I also have the Brunton Talon and the MSR Pocket Rocket. I feel the the Brunton boils water faster than all three but weighs more than the the other two. The Pocket Rocket is similar to the Primus Micron Ti in all respects except it may boil slightly faster and weighs just a bit more. The Micron Ti is my favorite after many outings and I've never had an issue with it (save elevation and wind which is an issue for any of these micro stoves). Admittedly, I'm a Ti junkie. Every 1/10 ounce weight savings actually means something to me.

Little stove, big results.

Basic stove without any of bells and whistles, but I can't imagine using anything smaller or lighter. Besides, with a little improvising, you can rig your own windscreen / heat reflector. I have owned it for 5+ years and have never had any problems lighting it or cooking. Highly recommended.

Great backpacking stove!

Don't let the size of this stove fool you. This little one will boil water very fast, and is great for meals on the fly. It is safe, packs away very small, and is easy to maintain. I was glad to add this to my backpacking gear list.

Is this fuel refillable? What is the advantage/disadvantage of using this fuel compared to others? I am looking for the lightest stove with refillable fuel/cartridge. What would my best choice be?

This is not refillable, but the advantage is that the fuel is light and burns hot, so you can bring less. If you want a refillable stove, the MSR Simmerlite and Whisperlite are classic choices. Solid, dependable (my dad's been using the same Whisperlite for 35 years), they're immensely popular and it's because you can run them forever and fix them with a stick. They're not the lightest stove out there (that'd be the Coleman Fyrestorm), but the Fyrestorm doesn't have the reputation or the simplicity and really, the Simmerlite's only another ounce. That'd be my vote.

The Micron TI fits into a Snow Peak 600 cup along with an inverted 110 gram size canister, mini lighter, wash cloth, & a modified folding spork. This all weighs 400 grams & will nest in most other cook sets.

What is the cooking area like? Is it the size of a quarter or something larger?

If I understand your question correctly, the diameter of the burner head/cooking area is about the size of a quarter. The ports/holes are positioned so they form flames that cover an area the size of a golf ball, spreading out when a pot or pan is sitting on the pot supports.
