Do you have to prime it? What is the (general) procedure? Can you simmer, as well as blast?FYI, I'm looking for a reason to replace my C0l3man Peak 1 dual-fuel single, which doesn't cut it below 40F, but isn't a feather weight, either. Recs welcome?

This like all other white gas stoves has to be primed. Before you attach the fuel bottle to the stove, give it twenty to thirty pumps. Attach the stove & open the valve just enough to fill the spirit cup underneath the stove. CLOSE THE VALVE & light the fuel in the spirit cup. When the flames have extinguished, re-open the valve. When you hear the gas escaping, light the stove. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT THE STOVE IF LIQUID GAS IS COMING OUT! If this is the case, repeat the preheating procedure until you get gas gas. Great simmering stove as well as a blast furnace.
