Primus is releasing a brand new stove for 2007, The Primus EtaPower. The basic idea behind the new stove is to reduce the overall weight, including gas, therefor it has a very good fuel efficency. Primus claims a 220-gram fuelcontainer will last 6 days for 2 persons (4,5-liter boiled water per day). Primus has done a calculation, comparing what you would have to carry during a 6 day hike, using three of their stoves:
- EtaPower EF Stove (including pot and 230g gas), total weight 1140 grams
- Gravity EF Stove (with LITECH pot and 450g gas), total weight 1352 grams
- ClassicTrail Stive (with stainless steel pot and 230g + 450g gas), total weight 1777 grams
The stoves burner is shaped like a disc, providing a low and stable stove and the built in burner is based on the Micron stove. A preheating coil gives the stove a low energy consumption and better winter characteristics. The EtaPower pots are equipped with a heat exchanger and are available in to sizes 2.1-liter and 1.7-liter. The kitchen is also equipped with a standard piezo ignition.
Micron Ti 2.5 is Primus new micro stove having a weight of only 69 grams
Primus is expanding their headlamp serie, introduced two years ago, with the PrimeLite CT and PrimeLite CA. They are based on the T-series but has the batteries in the lamphouse instead of a separte batteryholder.
Edit: Primus has given me som comments so I have updated the article. The Micron image has been replace and some text changes.
