Product Information

Full details

The Primus Express Stove with Piezo is designed for weight-conscious backpackers and travelers who prioritize portability without sacrificing power. It provides a reliable 2600 W output capable of boiling water in just three and a half minutes, making it an excellent companion for alpine treks and minimalist camping; however, users should be aware that its high-speed, narrow flame profile is best suited for boiling tasks rather than complex slow-cooking.

FAQs

What fuel does the Primus Express Stove use?

This stove operates on a standard butane/propane gas mixture.

Can I use this stove in high winds?

The stove features a wind-resistant, high-speed flame, but for best performance in heavy wind, it is recommended to use an external windscreen.

How much does the stove weigh?

The stove weighs 103 grams, making it ideal for minimalist backpacking.

Is the carrying bag included?

Yes, a nylon storage bag is included with the stove to protect it during transport.

Does it work with large pots?

Yes, the foldable arms are designed to provide a sturdy base for larger pots, though you should exercise caution with top-heavy setups.

How do I maintain the Piezo igniter?

Keep the ignition area clean and dry. Avoid dropping the stove, as physical impact can misalign the spark electrode.

Troubleshooting

Piezo igniter fails to spark

Ensure the ceramic igniter pin is clean and not obstructed by carbon buildup or food residue. Check that the spark is visible near the burner head.

Stove flame is weak or uneven

Check if the gas canister is near empty or if it has been stored in extremely cold temperatures, which can affect fuel pressure. Also, check for debris inside the burner head.

Gas leak heard upon connection

Immediately detach the stove and check the O-ring on the stove's connection point for damage or misalignment. Do not attempt to use if the seal is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Ensure the control valve is closed before attaching the stove to your butane/propane canister. Screw the stove onto the threaded valve of the canister until secure.
  2. Ignition: Turn the gas control valve slightly to release a small amount of fuel, then press the Piezo ignition button until the burner lights. Adjust the flame as needed.
