I have then special gas burner thingy (from Primus https://www.primusequipment.com/eu/en-g ... i-silencer) that reduces noise and has the multiple holes (in addition to the main jet). It did seem to get through gas quite quickly but then I'd decided not to take the wind shield (I purchased on in Bever but too late into the tour to know if it made much difference).pjclinch wrote: ↑4 Apr 2023, 3:31pmWe have a rather older iteration of the Primus, the original MFS (multi fuel stove), which does gas as well as paraffin and petrol. And while it does do gas okay it is substantially less good than our pure-gas Primus Gravity, mainly because that has a dedicated gas burner with lots of holes rather than a general purpose spreader for multiple fuel types.
Thus, if you have a gas-only trip on the cards it might be worth supplementing the OmniLite with something like a Gravity as it's quieter and better for fine control. I never bothered measuring but I wouldn't be too surprised if it works a bit efficiently too.

I like it but do acknowledge that it's probably overkill for boiling water for coffee. I may easily take the liquid fuel components as well next tour.
