Primus EtaPower Information

I have noticed that alot of people are looking for information about Primus EtaPower stove, so I though that I would help out a bit and collect some links and videos.

But first some information from Primus local Swedish competitor Optimus, I spoke to one of their representives a few weeks back. He claimed that even though the EtaPower stove has a windshield and heat exchanger the burners in the Optimus Crux and Stella will require less fuel due to higher efficiancy. Since the Crux and Stella is lighter than the EtaPower, combining one of them with the pots from EtaPower should make a great pair… I don’t know what is true, but a test would be interesting.

Here are the links and videos
