The 2.1L pot comes with an integrated heat exchanger to further reduce your energy loss while cooking. The EtaPower EF Trail Stove runs on most brands of canister fuel, so there's no messy gas spills to deal with."

"Great stove, but with its size and weight, I only use it for groups. Perfect for 4-5 people. Don't count on warming your hands on it though, it's so efficient, you can put your hands next to the pot, and not feel any heat coming up around it. Very fuel efficient, and I've never seen anything boil water faster."

"I love this stove, I’ve been shopping for a new stove for a while and considered a Jet Boil, and I do a lot of cooking so I was going to get the pot also. It made more sense to get the Primus with a pot and a frying pan. It ended up being a lot cheaper than a Jet Boil, pot and frying pan."

"I have just used the stove around the house, so this is a preliminary review. It comes in a case, but I'll likely leave that behind - it's a little heavy and I don't really see an advantage in using it.

This stove is fast. I heated . 5 liters of water in it and went inside to get the food laying on the counter in the kitchen."
