Primus Express Stove w/ Piezo Ignition
Xlnt for pots

I really love this little stove for what it is - a torch for pots. I use it regularly with my Snow Peak 1400 and 900, but the output is way too narrow for a skillet or a pan. It shines with with water-based meals, but be careful when things dry up or they can burn quickly. I love the ignition and greatly prefer having them on my stoves. I've had no problems with this one and I think I've had this stove for quite some time.
Also, I just weighed my stove and it came in at 3.34 oz. It is an older model I suppose.
Also, be aware that no canister stove is going to work well in freezing temperatures, it's not the stove's fault, it the nature of canister fuels. In colder temperature, I sleep with my fuel. In Yosemite, it's become a habit. But, in the snow, I use a white gas stove.
