From REI:
"Don't underestimate the power of this Micron stove from Primus—it's one of the smallest around, but it puts out heat like one of the big boys. 3 fold-away supports form a 4 in.-diameter cooking surface; twisting pivots lock supports firmly in place. Unique, lever-activated piezo igniter sparks the stove to life without matches. Wide 1.5 in. mesh burner head distributes flame across its entire surface. Drawcord storage pouch included. Requires fuel canister, sold separately. Closeout."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The compact, lightweight Primus Micron Stove with Piezo Ignitor is just what you want in your cook kit for ultralight solo backpacking trips. Just screw this 3.3oz stove onto a bottle of butane, open the valve, spark the auto-ignitor, and cook yourself a well-deserved backcountry dinner. The Micron Stove's wide burner profile and adjustable flame helps you cook your dinner instead of burning it. The stable legs keep your pot upright, so you don't drop your Mac-N-Cheese in the grass."

"I got one of these on ebay. A GREAT stove. It does not come with wind protection, but then most of the time that can be found on the trail. This stove is a miser on fuel and burns hot. The feature that makes this one better than some of the others is that the flame shoots straight up making it more efficient for smaller pots."

"This tiny lightweight stove is a jet engine when it lights! Boils a quart of water in minutes at 9000 ft. and the butane/propane mix allows for lengthy use. I made a pea soup which required 1.5 hours of simmer at 9000 ft. and I still had enought fuel for coffee for four in the morning."
