That's a good question. My stove is 25 years old. It is a Primus brand with a self ignitor. I have no idea which model. It is probably 1/2 to 1lb too heavy because of the self-ignitor. I also have an MSR Whisper light that I used for 10 years before that. I still have it and it still works well, but I have replaced the fuel pump on the Whisper Light. Do you have a stove that you prefer?
@@HiddenGemsofNature Oh I have an addiction to stoves and cook kits. I have the old school Whisper Light (not much of a whisper lol) and a huge ole cook kit for it back from my Scout days. I have a couple of the BRS 3000s, paired one up with a Toaks titanium pot and some accessories. I have one paired up with a Stanley stainless pot and a small titanium mug. I have the Trangia Mini that I've modded with carbon felt and some screen to really blue the flame nicely. And I just got the XBoil all the way from Germany that I'm going to pair with a new Trangia, but leave it unmodified, at least to start. My plan for that kit is just a day-hiker cup o' noodles/coffee rig. It came with a super UL alcohol burner that's really just a little screw lid container filled with carbon felt. But should work for a little boil and cuppa. Going to pair all that up with a smaller, maybe 550ml pot or so. I like all my cook kits to nest completely within themselves, so it's like a challenge to me to design and build kits for different uses that are still totally self-contained. Like I sad: addiction. But it's fun. I was curious about your stove because it looked like you could simmer pretty decently with it.
@@scottyplug That's cool. I am coming to you for cook stove and cook kit recommendations. Yes, the control on this burner is excellent and allows me to regulate heat well.
Great video. Would love to see more of these videos. I don't backpack because of where I live but would love to learn more from people that do it all the time and have it figured out.
Thanks for the info!
Excellent ideas! New sub!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
What model stove are you using?
