Primus Express Stove w/ Piezo Ignition
Great for a while

This was a great stove. I used it for 3 years in all seasons. It doesn't do well in the cold as the canisters can't stay at a high enough pressure, but it's great above freezing. It boiled water quickly and simmered very well. It also seemed very efficient on fuel consumption.
The only problem is that after 3 years it died. There's no flame output and it's seems to be gunked up or something. I've tried contacting Primus several times, but haven't gotten any response from customer service.
Overall, it was great while it lasted...

Flan-man, The jet is probably plugged. This happened to my soldering iron at work a lot, something with the butane. Anyhow, the instructions tell you how to clean it. Instructions can be found here: http://nagear.com/downloads/primuscampin
