Anyone have any experience with this stove, The Primus Gravity Backpacking Stove. We don't want a cannister stove where the stove is screwed directly into the cannister. I find them unstable and difficult to use a windscreen with.
Thanks in advance

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

That looks like an excellent stove Sandym!
The preheat tube means that you can burn the cheap butane cylinder gas too.
Here is a china version that has worked well for me.

Thanks mate. We have a china version which lasted just one year so are looking for something somewhat more durable!

Yes Sandym
Firemaple is a quality china brand but a Primus stove will last a lifetime.
