Primus Lite Plus Stove System

The Primus Lite Plus Stove System is a compact, top-mounted canister stove and cookset designed for backpackers feeding one to two people. The 0.5L hard-anodized aluminum pot locks directly onto the burner with a twist, the Laminar Flow Burner delivers 4,500 BTU output, and the entire system packs into the pot alongside a 100g gas canister. Available in two colors: Uncle Fern and Uncle Blue.

Stable Flame in a Compact Package

The Primus Lite Plus uses Laminar Flow Burner technology, which positions the burner low and close to the pot base. That lower center of gravity means the stove sits more stably on uneven surfaces than a conventional top-mounted burner, and the quieter flame makes it easier to hear your surroundings while cooking. The oversized, foldable control valve gives you fine-grained adjustment from a rolling boil down to a gentle simmer without fumbling with a small knob in cold or gloved hands.

A System That Packs Down to Almost Nothing

The 0.5L pot, burner, and a 100g gas canister all nest together into a single compact unit measuring 3.9 inches by 5.1 inches. The pot's integrated heat exchanger channels heat efficiently up the sides, and the cork-lined G-1000 ECO Lite fabric sleeve lets you handle the pot safely without a separate potholder. A sleeve pocket holds small accessories. The bio-based plastic lid doubles as a cup, so there is one less item to pack separately.

Ready for Flat Ground or Nowhere Near It

The included bio-based Canister Stand attaches to the gas canister for added stability on soft or sloped terrain. When flat ground is not available at all, the included Hanging System lets you suspend the stove and pot from an anchor point, which is useful in a portaledge or when cooking inside a shelter entrance. Pot support pegs are also included, so the burner works with non-system pots and pans when you want to cook a larger meal or use your own cookware.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Primus Lite Plus Stove System suits solo backpackers and two-person teams who want a self-contained, lightweight cooking setup that packs into a single compact unit. The Hanging System makes it a practical choice for alpine climbers or anyone who regularly cooks in a portaledge or confined shelter.

The 0.5L pot capacity is sized for one person's meal or water; feeding a group larger than two requires a separate, larger pot. A gas canister is not included and must be purchased separately. The Primus Coffee-Tea Press, referenced in the product description as a compatible accessory, is also sold separately and is not part of this system.

Common Questions

Does the Primus Lite Plus Stove System come with a gas canister?

No. The Primus Lite Plus Stove System does not include a gas canister. The system is designed to pack together with a 100g canister, but the canister must be purchased separately. The stove is compatible with standard threaded canister valves.

What is included in the box?

The Primus Lite Plus Stove System includes the Laminar Flow Burner, the 0.5L hard-anodized aluminum pot with integrated heat exchanger and pour spout, the G-1000 ECO Lite cork-lined sleeve, a bio-based plastic lid that doubles as a cup, pot support pegs, a bio-based Canister Stand, and a Hanging System. A gas canister is not included.

Can the burner be used with pots other than the included 0.5L pot?

Yes. The Primus Lite Plus Stove System includes pot support pegs that allow the burner to be used with non-system pots and pans. When using the system pot, the pot locks directly onto the burner with a twist for a secure connection.

How does the Hanging System work?

The included Hanging System allows the Primus Lite Plus Stove System to be suspended from an anchor point, such as a portaledge or shelter structure, when a flat cooking surface is not available. The pot handle unbuckles to accommodate this configuration.

What is the boil time for the 0.5L pot?

The Primus Lite Plus Stove System boils 0.5L of water in less than three minutes, according to the product description. The 4,500 BTU (1,500 W) Laminar Flow Burner and the pot's integrated heat exchanger work together to achieve that result.
