Primus Alpine Ultra Light Titanium Stove

One of the world's lightest and most compact stoves. Ideal for climbers and expeditions where it is essential to pack the ultimate in strength and functionality, using a minimal amount of space and weight. If you want to avoid the hassle of keeping matches dry, there is an optional piezo igniter provided in a storage box.

Ultralight Gear Review

Primus 3273 Titanium Cook Stove: (old design)

From: Charles Lindsey
Name of Gear: 3273 Titanium Cook Stove
Manufacturer: Primus
Weight (actual tested):

• 3.35 oz. w/o piezo igniter attached
  
• 3.80 oz. with piezo igniter attached
  

Price: $250.00
Fuel Type: 70% Butane / 30% Propane Canisters

A built-in Wind Screen comes with, as standard. A 7.8 oz fuel canister lasts about 1.4 hours.

This stove is unbelievably compact and lightweight, yet is high quality and very effective. Last summer, I took it on a 7 day trip where we set up base camp at 7500 feet. The stove performed well.

Even though we experienced high winds for about five of the days, and I had no wind protection for the stove other than its integral wind screen, it only used one 3.5 oz fuel canister and part of a 7.8 oz canister.

For ultralight travel, I strongly recommend getting one of these little guys.

The following is a response that I posted at Backpackers Basecamp to a thread that was dismissing the Primus Titanium stove, without looking at all the facts:

RE: Primus Titanium Stove (Well Worth It !)
Date: Sun Nov 23 1997

I definitely agree that the titanium stove is very expensive - incidentally, it cost $250 not $300. There are good lightweight alternatives available that are much less expensive - albeit not as lightweight as the titanium.

Alternatives that come to mind are the Peak 1 (used to be Epigas) Micro at 5.6 oz-$25, the Husch Bivy Butane/Propane Stove (if you can find them) at 4 oz-$40, the Primus Trail Light, 6 oz-$40, (all three run on the same fuel canisters - MSR, Coleman, Primus - as the Titanium), and the Gaz Micro Bleuet 270, 7 oz-$30 (uses GAZ fuel cartridges).

However, I think you were too fast to dismiss the Primus Titanium stove as a good investment, assuming a person can live with the $250 price tag, of course.

First of all, the titanium is very durable. First thing I did was discard the plastic case. It is so tiny it can be carried in many ways. Sometimes, I roll it up in a hanky and put it in a one-quart freezer bag and into my titanium pot. If it's cold, I just put into the freezer bag. Lots of carrying options sans plastic case. So the weight of the stove never exceeds 4 ounces.

That four ounces includes an efficient windscreen and piezo electric igniter. Where I go, those are incredibly useful functions that would otherwise increase my pack weight if they were not intrinsic to the stove.

Last year I took a 7-day trip into the Central Washington Cascades. Upon reaching my destination (for peak bagging & fishing) I set up base camp amongst some high alpine lakes at 7000 feet. Although I was able to find a sheltered campsite, the winds coming off the lakes were nonetheless fierce and steady. I experimented with matches and lighter - both would not withstand the wind. The piezo igniter worked beautifully and infallibly. Likewise, I purposely used the stove without additional wind protection and its integral windscreen worked adequately and helped to maintain a constant flame. Conversely, my daughter was using the Gaz Micro Bleuet 270 and had a heck of a time getting the thing started and had to build a wind screen around it to keep it going.

Bottom line - for $250, you get a tiny, yet durable stove, with added functionality of windscreen and electric igniter in a package weighing a tad less than 4 ounces.

Is it worth it ? That's subjective and relative. But to me, it is worth it. I always go after the lightest, smallest, highest quality that I can find and this stove certainly has proven to me that its worth a spot in my inventory.
