The PrimeTech Stove Set 1.3L by Primus [Review]

Visit Adventure Rig here: goo.gl/OzQc0M
Whether you’re camping close to home or far from it, the PrimeTech Stove Set 1.3L will let you cook no matter what conditions you’re out in. The integrated burner and wind guard combined with the heat exchanger on one of the 1.3L pots keeps things cooking quickly. This set fits nicely together, is fast and easy to set up, and is the perfect size for 2-3 campers.
Probably the most unique feature of the PrimeTech Stove Set is the fact that the burner is integrated into a wind guard. Not only does this protect from wind immensely, it also makes for a very sturdy base of support. We’ve found that in typical winds, the wind guard really protects the flame and heat transfer from the burner. In extreme winds (25 mph +) you will also benefit from setting up the addtional included wind guard. The way the burner is designed, the pots sit down a little bit which also helps in protecting from the fierce winds. If you have a larger pot, the burner can still be used with the flip up supports.
The heat transfer pot combined with the wind guard burner made for some of the fastest boiling times we have seen in a long time. At first, we thought the heat transfer on the bottom of the 1.3L ceramic non-stick coated pot would be a bit of a waste of space and weight but after using it, it is evident that it is not only worth it because it works but really doesn’t take up much extra space.
The included detachable gripper handle is really nice because you can attach it anywhere on the pots and is easy to use. It will not come off unless you release the red lever and so it’s a very secure and safe connection. It’s durable yet light and packs nicely into the kit.
We really like how quiet the PrimeTech stove is as we feel it is much quieter than most stoves we’ve had in the past. It’s so quiet that you’ll question if it’s on. You can easily have a conversation around the stove while it’s going which sounds a little silly but we’ve had stoves that limit this.
The stove set packs nicely into itself and into the provided bag so it is easy to pack and stay organized. The bag could potentially be used for a wash sink, and although it’s not made for that we found that it holds water relatively well.
Our one complaint with the PrimeTech Stove Set is that there is nothing to protect the pots with when all packed together. We are often camping off the motorcycles and packing this set as it comes and throwing it in a moto pannier would cause certain wear and tear on the inside and outside of the pots. This wouldn’t make or break our decision to purchase this set but it is kind of a bummer that we now have to find or make something to fit between the pieces. When you’re spending so much on a stove set, you want to be able to protect it for many years of use down the road.
While the PrimeTech Stove Set 1.3L isn’t the smallest or most compact stove set we’ve ever used, it works tremendously well no matter what element we’re facing when dinnertime rolls around. The integrated burner/wind guard combined with the heat transfer pot makes for a very fast boil time so you’ll have dinner ready in no time. Whether you’re car camping or backpacking or backyard cookin', Primus makes a lot of different stoves so be sure to check out their website so you can see what is best for you.

This review's by far the clearest! Thanks mate.

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks for watching!! Glad it helped.

[@ssrc30]

Good review. I really like my set. It now comes with a long towel to separate the pots and burner. A pleasant surprise. The company obviously listens to their customers.

[@AdventureRig]

That's great I love hearing they include that now.

[@ondskabenselv]

BTW the included foil-windshield is actually a reflector, intended to be used under to stove to reflect heat upwards, towards the pot. If using the stove in snow, you need a flat hard surface to prevent the stove from melting a hole in the snow beneath it, and the reflector would come in handy in that situation.

[@AdventureRig]

Yes this is true.

[@fjdkfdfjdf33]

Yes, I use a cloth to protect the pots when I have the stove in there. It's also used for cleanup afterwards. Nice review!

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks for watching!

[@SpeakEasy2]

Nice review Tyson!

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks Scott Rod!!

[@josephlee1646]

Looks like the tried and true Trangia system with a heat exchanger upgrade.

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks for watching!

[@Givi_and_Wolf]

great video! I look without a sound because I do not understand the language - but everything is clear by gestures and by examples-it is shown perfectly!

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks for watching GreenWolf.

came for a stove review... subbed for the Rhodie!

[@AdventureRig]

Appreciate you watching!

[@ondskabenselv]

Nice review!Can you elaborate on the wind resistance provided by the build in windscreen? I'm considering buying either the 2.3 L version of this stove, or the MSR Windburner Group System, which are quite similar.

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks for watching. The windscreen does a great job. Now it obviously still has holes and slots in it so it's not going to block all the wind but for light wind conditions it does great. Once the wind really start to blows I'll use the supplied windscreen.

[@lutzmix]

use a trangia or esbit with a multifuel stove😊

[@AdventureRig]

Thanks for watching!

[@brdbrntrn]

How does it perform in cold weather?

[@AdventureRig]

We can't speak to that! Thanks for watching.

[@rws357]

Is the dog drugged?

[@AdventureRig]

Haha that's 100% his personality.
