I took this stove on a bike ride from Anchorage to Seattle and used it twice a day for two months straight. Somewhere in North BC the leather pump tore, but we repaired it with epoxy before replacing it with a new seal at Prince George. Make sure to keep your leather greased! All the parts are designed to be preplaced/repaired and it has very fast lighting time compared to MSRs.

Just recently I started to have pressure problems. I called Suunto (Primus dist. in US) and they sent me a new fuel line free, which fixed the problem.

Oh, and one more thing: its all metal construction looks cool and it makes a loud roar when burning. Even with two major problems, I'd still recommend this stove.
