I have almost all stoves. Even the $145 Snowpeak GS-010 and this one is my pick for reliability. If you should need parts here in the US, REI has them. I''m actually a motorcycle camper so eveything I use gets beat up with vibration. I don''t think this stove will ever let me down. It is very LOUD! If you can live wiht that it the best one out there. The best constructed of all the stoves.

Good stove, used it with White gas and it has worked well. Had a little problem getting it to turn off, but if you get the hang it is nice. Simmers very well with white fuel

Fit and finish is very impressive. Very easy to prime and light. Never had flaring or leaking problems using white gas, always totally controllable. Simmering ability is adequate, though touchy. Use a low tank pressure. The only drawback is that it is extremely loud. Count on having to nearly shout to your friends while the stove is on. This is more of problem for me while car camping when the cooking is more complicated. Primus should make this stove with a quieter ported type burner. I'm now a butane cannister convert and switched to a lightweight cannister stove for weekend trips.

I used the Primus Multi fuel on two seperate occasions. (1) Mt. McKinley(20,320ft.)in Alaska and on (2) Cho Oyu(26,900ft.) in Nepal/Tibet. On both occasions I used the stove for 30-45 days in a row. I also switched fuel on several occasions and experienced no problem. A companion of mine used a similar stove, manufactured by a competitor, on the same expedetions and experienced problems with it clogging or the stove not igniting due to the cold temperature... but not with the Primus Multi-Fuel. It worked marvelously the whole time.

This is the stove for all kinds of users. The stove can burn all kinds of fuel: LP-gas, white gas, kerosene, jet fuel and other petroluem fuels like diesel etc. It can burn alcohol as well, but it is not recommended, because the alcohol can damage the o-rings and can turn the nice stove to a ugly mess... It is easy to maintain, and when you use liquid fuel, there is no mess! Just turn the bottle (after the meal is ready), and the fuelline burns empty, and wait until the preashure in the fuelbottle is let out. Now turn off the valve and remove the fuelline from the bottle. Now you can store the fuelbottle and the stove without the stinking fuel pouring out (the pump can be stored in the fuel bottle). When you use the gas, it is even better! No mess at all! It burns great with a pure blue flame (not the diesel though...)! The only negative about this stove is the prize, but it is worth it!

This is the best stove available. The use of compressed gas or liquid fuel makes this the most versitle stove. I love the sturdiness of the base. The last time I was out, I had water boiling, using the compressed gas cartridge, before the other guys had their flames primed on their Coleman stoves. The only problem, I had to wait on the other guys to cook and eat their food, before getting back on the trail. I quess I had a little more time to relax and catch a quick nap.

Great Stove. It works as advertised. The reason I bought it was the fuel options and the fact that it is all metal with very few parts.

MSR and Peak1 Stoves

This is a very nice stove. Overall quality is high with most all parts being sturdy metal. I just used it on an 18 day trip and was pleased with a few minor problems: one leg is a bit tight to swing out and back and the collar where the stove valve threads to the pump got very tight after a few days, but loosened with a few drops of oil - I was near the ocean, so salt spray might have been the cause of this problem. I've only tried white gas so far, but it starts up quickly, boils fast, and I can get it to simmer reasonably well.
