Primus Eta Power pot test with MSR pocket rockrt stove

[nonamesnonames]

In addition to altitude (comments indicate 200 feet) you need to specify starting temperature for the water. This can vary widely - in some mountain towns its around 40F while in some areas during the summer it's around 70F.

that's a fast little pocket rocket! how long would the canister last?

To help with the heat and storage try a PotPal.

Bout two hours overall burn time

i fill my PrimusEta up an inch from the top to boil corn, shrimp, eggs, etc. using my penny stove or my "DragonStorm" Stove and it is really fast. It is even faster than MSR pots or any other pot i have tried. And believe me you use less fuel.

great video...what alcohol stove setup would you recommend for best results with a primua eta power pot (to boil 16 to 32 ounces of water)?

someone want to chat

i cant watch this video No

[infraredtechnician]

I dont want you to think this is a complaint, but now try that 3000ft up a mountain in the pissing rain with a 40MPH wind @ 2 deg C,so to re-cap ON A COLD ,WET & WINDY MOUNTAIN,and not in the kitchen .

[minibulldesign]

I think you may have missed the point of this video, it was to compare the ability to boil water with a very good backpacking set up compared to a kitchen stove. Ask your self --how would the kitchen stove do in the cold windy conditions you mentioned ? Not very well !!

[infraredtechnician]

Thank you Sir for your reply,I ment no disrespect,and as you say it was a compareson between the pocket rocket and the kitchen cooker,but as i tend not to take the kitchen cooker onto the hills with me but i do with the pocket type cookers i have found many times they need protecting from the elements.and Please feel free to comment on any of my videos,Sorry for the missunderstanding.

yeah make sure you put the lid on and just turn the heat down to simmer it will bring the water to a gentle boil conserving fuel as most of the heat is pushed up the sides of the pot when you try and blast the pot you should hardly feel any heat going up the sides then all the heat will go into the exchanger. The water will take longer to boil but it will be much quieter and fuel efficient

[Trancended]

good lord that's really loud and annoying, I'd be ok with waiting a few extra minutes for a silent alcohol stove =)

[hacklikethis]

Minutes must be a new term for "forever" where you come from.

You try cooking half a pheasant roadkill curry for two on an trangia.

Optimus Nova+ all the way, boils faster than my gas hob at home, let alone a half filled propane canister, balanced precariously boiling enough water for a cup of tea at a time.

[Trancended]

true enough, depends on what you're cooking I guess, if ya don't HAVE to use the rocket, i'd rather use something quiet, that thing is a beast as far as noise

[hacklikethis]

agreed - if you just need a warm beverage, silent and instant alcohol wins every time.

I too would like to see this cooking video...

What kinda gas canister is that? I have a pocketrocket and someone told me that I should only use MSR canisters. Something about threads not matching up.

[minibulldesign]

This is a jetboil canister --they are universal

[kittykatkevin]

@katygfmu i have a pocket rocket and a jetboil PCS and the fuel canister threads are a universal pattern. they recomend to use their own fuel blend as well (probably what that person told you) but the fuels are pretty much the same too

[trumpetbeek]

I used one of these stoves and unfortunately set fire to my beard causing severe burns. I am now scared for life and my dog attacks me on sight.

[yuandrew]

Don't put your face directly next to over the burner next time; I burnt my eyebrows once lighting a camp sstove.

[Chax13]

WOW!!! That was fast!!!! I have a pocket rocket too, but I always use my alcohol stove because the pocket rocket sounds like a jet engine.

[minibulldesign]

This was 200 feet above sea level

[fraud66]

Great.

You have nice videos.

[koppimopo]

Impressive! This also means that fuel efficiency is better than with a normal pot. Thanks for uploading! =)

[bakcompat]

me likey!

[stinkfart]

Yikes! What's the rush?
