Do yourself a favor and buy this stove. Set up/breakdown are nothing, just screw on the cannister and you are ready to go. I have owned an MSR Whisperlite stove and have used others in some hairy conditions and nothing compares to this stoves dependability and ease of use. Why hassle with a cannister and a tube and extra valves and all that. The sheer fact is when it's freezing and your wet and tired you don't want to mess with a bunch of crap and this stove is 100% crap free. Similar Products Used: None |

It took me five years to replace my very used and much loved Svea. The Primus 3266 has everything to make a hardened gear hound melt: ease of set-up, ease of use, weight, and size. I have used this guy on many weekend trips and some weeklong ones too, and have yet to regret taking the thing along. Similar Products Used: Svea, MSR |

I have owned many different stoves, and this is the best for everything other than winter use. It is very light (6.8 oz.), easy to set up and light (with its electronic ignition), and reliable. Perhaps most importantly, it has the best fuel efficiency of the many cannister stoves that I have tested. Similar Products Used: None |

I agree with all the others. This is a great piece of gear. As everyone has said it is light small and easy to use. I really like the fact that I don't smell like a gas station and have soot all over me when I'm done cooking. Similar Products Used: I have a Wisper Lite that has been collecting dust since finding this stove. |

Possible answer to the 1/3 fuel problem mentioned below - Retighten: After cooking with the stove one morning, I noticed the flame was dieing. I went to remove the empty canister and noticed there was still fuel. I decided to retighten it a little tighter. Relit the flame and it came back to full strength. Similar Products Used: Coleman 662, duel fuel, one burner. |

This is a great stove for the money. I had the one with the piezo igniter. For $25, you get great fuel efficiency, light weight, and a piezo igniter. I don't know what's wrong with everyone's igniters, but mine worked flawlessly every time for two years or so until I upgraded to a Dragonfly. Similar Products Used: MSR Dragonfly |

This stove is awesome. Used it on a 5-day trip in the lower Enchantments in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and I couldn't believe how well it performed for how light it was. Cooked our meals in 3 minutes when my dad was waiting 10 for his! Similar Products Used: None |
