If the 230 gram fuel canister weighs around 8 oz by itself, how do the canister, stove and pot add up to 7oz?

Most, if not all piezo ignitors crap out @ or around 10,000' but the stove portion continues to work well way beyond that. I have personally used this stove above 13,000' with good results. Nice little package.

Still, 20-21 oz isn't bad for the whole pkg. Anybody used the stove? How well does the piezo work?

Phil, I think it's only a North American partnership to sell & distribute their products. If you remember, they did the same thing with Optimus a few years ago but now that's a partnership with Katadyn.

Hey Jeff, did Brunton buy out Primus, or are they just the North American distributors? I noticed on their site that it referenced Brunton as the contact.

230 grams is fuel only weight The total weight is, depending on the manufacturer, between 13 & 14 ounces. This is the fuel weight plus the canister weight. So the Primus TiLite Stove system, with fuel, actually weighs between 20 & 21 ounces.

I don't know where they came up with that equation, but you're right. Just the stove and pot weigh in at 7oz.
