FIELD TEST: PRIMUS ETAPACKLITE COOK STOVE


I needed to fix myself some supper one night when Pat was away so I decided to see how my little camping stove would work. I had not field tested it yet so thought I’d give it a shot.

I had a bag of chicken flavored pasta that I was going to sample and see if it would be worth taking on the trip. I put two cups of water in the pot and kicked on the burner. This stove was highly recommended on-line and was given very high marks for fuel efficiency (80%) and ease of use. I took about 1-2 minutes to boil the water (faster than our indoor cook stove) and I put in the pasta which only took 7 minutes to cook. I let it sit for a couple minutes, placed the pasta in the larger of the two bowls that come with the stove, grabbed a slice of bread and had a feast sitting on my back porch. Very nice. It was a little more than I would normally eat but it would be the perfect amount during the bike tour. I was impressed with how the stove performed and clean up was a snap. Plus, the pasta was hot even to the last bite. I’ll really enjoy using this stove in the future.
